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]
My husband and I just blasted up to Penticton for the day yesterday (starting at midnight!) so he could sign up for Ironman 2012 (we slept on the sidewalk). Money is going to be tight for the next year so I would love to win the gift certificate to get him a nice pair of shorts or a shirt to train in. Thanks Angela!
I can’t wait to try making the tortilla soup for me and my boyfriend. With school starting back in about a week, we could use some comfort lol I hope I win this giveaway, I just found a tiny hole in my trusty black groove yoga pants :)

Oh maan, $50 to lululemon?! I’m dreaming already ;)

I did need to catch up on those posts, thanks!!
Wow – I have only just discovered your blog, and then you hit me with all these posts at once? I’ve got a lot of reading to do! Loving what I’ve seen so far. The frequency with which chocolate and cookie dough seem to pop up bodes well for me. ;) Thanks for sharing so much of yourself!
Would it be bad to make the donuts, the toffee bars, and the shake all in one day? :)
Oh good! Glad things were sorted out! Fingers crossed on the lululemon contest!
Its always funny, everyone lurks around until the give aways, then magically EVERYONE comments! :)

Crazy that you had no idea about the posts. Glad to know all is well!
Wow, I’ve never realized how many good recipes you put out there in the span of a week until I saw all of your recent creations condensed in this post. Phew!
You’re one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever encountered on the blogosphere!
Oh my gosh, too many delicious recipes at once! Now I am starving! Literally running to the grocery store for tortillas first thing in the a.m.!
Love the pictures on your site! They are so bright and colorful; they cheer up my day. Some lululemon gear would brighten up my day when I’m too tired to head to Bikhram Yoga after work!
Love your blog and all your recipes! :) My fave is the overnight oats :) Too cool!
