Last week, my best friend Allison asked me if everything was ok because she hadn’t seen a blog post from me in a few days and was getting worried.
‘…not that there is anything wrong with you taking a break though!!’, she sweetly added.
Allison is a great friend.
I knew there was a major issue if she wasn’t seeing new blog posts because I hadn’t taken a day off blogging in over a week. I figured she wasn’t the only one having problems, so I asked you guys on Twitter and Facebook and just as I suspected many of you hadn’t seen any new posts since my Thrive post on August 14th. Some of you thought I died. I’m sorry to disappoint. ;)
Eric and I were able to pinpoint the issue to some cache settings in PHP that were changed the same day of my Thrive post. Basically, it was caching entire pages on some of your computers (saving in memory) so new posts wouldn’t appear; however many of you weren’t impacted at all. We removed these changes last week, so hopefully everything is running smoothly now.
I guess I can’t ask you who is still having problems seeing new posts though can I? ;)
Without further ado, In Case You Missed It…
1) Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Spiced Doughnuts
I dusted off my doughnut pans and cranked open my first can of pumpkin, albeit prematurely.
The hit of Eric’s birthday party. I was left with a few scraps!
3) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Glazed Doughnuts
One of the craziest things I’ve ever made.
Stove-top, old fashioned easy cheeze sauce that comes together in minutes flat.
5) High Protein Tortilla Pizzas
I really did intend on saving Eric one…
6) Athens Honeymoon Photography
I’ve got the travel bug and you’re coming with me!
7) Chocolate Cake Batter Smoothie
You missed a spot.
Another way to sneak greens into your breakfast without tasting them.
9) Stuffed Mushroom Phyllo Roll & Mango Kale Salad
The beginning of my obsession with Phyllo.
10) Chocolate Chunk Toffee Bars
I made these for Eric when he was suffering from IMS.
11) How To Create Career Happiness FAQ
For a nice follow-up post (and great discussion!), check out this Graduation Fears that I posted a while back.
Out with the old, in with the new. Boy, were there mixed opinions on my header change!
Since many of you weren’t able to see my last Feel Good Tea Giveaway post, I thought it would be fun to have a giveaway today.
In honour of my favourite Canadian athletic store, I’m purchasing a $50 Lululemon gift card and giving it away to one lucky random winner. To enter, simply leave one comment below.
Contest will run until Wednesday. Goodluck!
[Contest Finished]
Love me some LuLulemon but do not get to treat myself to it that often. I can not wait to make those pumpkin donuts! I love everything pumpkin! :)
<3 oh she glows so much! love lulu too :)
I’ve never tried anything from Lululemon, so this would be awesome. And thanks for writing the best blog ever :)
those cinnamon sugar donuts look amazing. my sister recently went vegan and bought a donut pan, so i’m definitely going to share that recipe with her!
Plz Plz Plz! Randomly pick me :b
Love the new header. It’s nice to know someone else has had pumpkin cravings recently.
I can’t comment on the change in header because I found your site about fifteen minutes ago. I just wanted to let you know what lifesaver you are. My oven doesn’t work right now, something I generally didn’t mind because during the height of summer boiling water heats the place up too much. Today, though, I was hit by a peanut butter cookie craving and found your 3-minute cookie recipe. Which took me to the chocolate mint cookie, then on to a variety of uncooked recipes, then the perfect veggie burger and more.
Also, thank you for another use for my chia seeds and cacao nibs. I can’t wait to try your vegan egg in some other recipes.
Can’t wait to try that oatmeal!
And you love to win the giveaway :)
Love your site and I love Lululemon!
I made the protein tortilla pizza last night… and also ate 2 :( lol but nothing but amazing ingredients so i didnt feel too bad. I’d love to win the gift card!!! Pick me :)
Thanks,
metaxia
Always love the free stuff!!! Thanks again! Love your blog!
What a coincidence, 2442 is my lucky number! Gah a gift card would be so great! It would make buying a $100 pair of pants a little less painful!
It’s official– I must make everything on this page! The Zucchini Bread oatmeal looks amazing!
I’m still heartbroken about the blender…but some retail therapy at Lululemon could really aid in my recovery : )
Made the toffee bars this weekend – YUM! I think the donuts are next in line. And I would love to win the lululemon gift card to buy something to wear while working off those calories!
How exciting and it happens to be my favorite as well! great recipes cant wait to try some.
I’m dying to make the chocolate cake batter smoothie! Cake batter for breakfast…I’m fairly sure that’s illegal in most states.
Love the new look of the site and I love Lululemon! Would love to win it for a new hoodie for my move to Winnipeg this week for grad school:) Brrrrrr!
I bought my first pair of Lululemon shorts this weekend……..I wouldnt mind getting another pair with this giftcard :)
Your Career Happiness post was very inspiring. I am saving up now so I can eventually quit my boring job and do something that will make me happy. Thanks for your positive thoughts!
