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!

I just came across your blog and love it! I can’t wait to spend more time here!
I live two blocks away from a Lululemon but have never, ever bought anything there (though I can frequently be found drooling over crops at the store front window…)! Growing student loans bring about incredible self control!!!
I love your posts and lululemon! You have great ideas for making good food actually healthy. btw i really like your new header, i agree that it explains more what this blog is about! :]
I’ve only dreamed of a running shirt from lululemon. I know that I’ll run faster in one. Thanks for the offer of a give-away.
Oh that would totally make my day! Thanks for the generosity! xo
Love your blog! (and yoga pants)
I have been drooling over Lululemon forever….still too poor to buy it!!! I love this giveaway!
Pick me! Pick me!
I’ve recommended your blog to so many friends and have been following for a while. Thanks for all your lovely recipes! You’re “This Ain’t Your Grandma’s Sweet Potato Casserole” was a big hit with my friends this last Thanksgiving and I make green monsters all the time.
Best Hot Yoga wear around. Lululemon
it would be my first piece of lululemon, though i’ve been lusting after stuff for a while… i’d use it to run my first marathon in october, hooray!
I’m seriously drooling over the donuts and toffee bars.I need something sweet now:-)cc
Loooove lululemon :)
Oh I have been coveting everything made by lululemon !!! It would be so nice to actually buy something!
Oh that would be so nice to get that gift card…I need some new workout clothes :D
I bought a pair of lululemon wunder*unders and can’t stop wearing them. Unfortunately, I just moved and am currently jobless. While this gives me more time to workout, my pants are taking a beating and am in need of another pair! :)
