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.

[Contest Finished]








Yay! Love lulu!
I like Lululemon cuz it’s a CANADIAN company.
Oh. My. Gosh. I LOVE Lululemon! I live for everything that their company stands for…alwaya amazed with their products and connection with the community.
I am addicted to Lulu! lol. We are getting a massive store in Orlando in October and I cannot wait! :)
Always enjoy your blog + photos!
Need more excuses to work out…
Am in DIRE need of a new yoga mat. Have just been searching for something decent like a manduka but on a PhD student’s budget, a gift card would make a huge difference!! :)
love lululemon, would love to win!
I haven’t shopped at Lulu yet, but I hear their pants are amazing! I am also trying your High Protein, Oil Free Pesto tonight……wish me luck! P.S. Finding large amounts of basil in Winnipeg wasn’t easy, but I think I found a great source “Young’s Food Market”!
Your blog is so inspiring. Thank you for the pretty pictures and delicious recipes!
I love lulu stuff!
Love Lululemon! Thanks for this opportunity!
Lululemon is my favourite!
Those chocolate chunk toffee bars look so yummy!
Would love some new workout gear.. I need to get some new stuff into rotation!
LOVE Lululemon but sadly don’t shop there very often. I have just had a breakthrough though, and have decided that it’s time to kick my old college (ok and some high school) t-shirts out the window and start working out and REAL workout gear!
E! I love the lemon and am in desperate need of a new running jacket! Thank you for running he contest and here is hoping!
Oh my gosh! I really hope my name gets drawn. As a poor student who loves to run, I could really use the gift card! **Fingers crossed!**
I love lulu lemon – all of my workout clothes from there are so well-made!
I might need to get myself a donut pan after seeing your recipe! And I’m dying for some Lululemon!
