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]
Yay! Always wanted to try that store’s products! Fingers crossed :)
Ohhh, wow! I need a donut pan stat! Those donuts are too delicious looking to just scroll by.
I’ve never been to Lululemon but I’d love to check it out! Delicious dounuts, btw!
Lululemon is my new addiction. An expensive one at that, but their products are worth it! And who doesn’t love looking cute while working out??
I love lulu! Oh, and I have made the zucchini bread oatmeal no less than 4 times since you posted it. Obsessed – especially if you throw a few chocolate chips on top.
Lululemon!!! :)
I actually recreated your tortilla pizza the other day. It was so tasty!
I love lululemon. Fingers crossed…
Oh my goodness those pictures all look amazing! Those potatoes look to die for! I’m sure they were a big hit! I love your blog! It has become one of my favorites and one of my regular reads! Thanks for sharing!!
I love lulumon but I can’t afford it most of the time. I’d love some new yoga pants!
Just started working out again. I really think some new gear could keep me motivated :)
Happy Monday!
I would love the Lululemon card, but mostly I’m glad to see you up and running again!! Thank you for You!!
Oh, I loooove lululemon – and I “need” some new fall gear!
Such an awesome giveaway, I love lulu!
Glad I wasn’t affected by the cache issue, I’d have nothing to drool over every morning then! I haven’t been shopping at Lulu in months, time for a trip!
I love LuLu wear! I look at it as an investment. It’s a little pricy, but it lasts forever.
Chocolate chip cookie dough glazed donuts?! Omg. Those look and sound amazing! and I kinda like the new header, it’s different :)
I’m Pretty Sure I could spend my life savings at Lulu ;p!
I’m trying to make your stuffed mushroom and Kale Phylo Roll tonight, I can’t wait, it looks so good and something that my boyfriend will actually eat and not complain about there not being any meat! Its hard to cook for myself and my carnivore boyfriend lol!
There isn’t a Lululemon by me, but when I visit my sister in Toronto, I go in and stare at all the things I can’t bring myself to buy (I’m a super picky shopper as it is!). I think I’d actually get something if I had a gift card! ;)
I would love a lulu card!! :)
I loved this post! I needed some catch-ups! Bahaha oooh this giveaway rocks :)
