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 will run until Wednesday. Goodluck!
[Contest Finished]
Glad to get a recap, love your blog!
Happy to say I didn’t miss any of your posts! I’ve been on a homemade vegan doughnut kick this summer and I can’t wait to try your cinnamon sugar pumpkin dougnuts!
Luckily, I still received your blog posts–but your review was mouthwatering! I am always amazed by your recipes. Annndd I want that cake batter smoothie in my belly right now. :)
I also LOVE lulu–and because of that I avoid it altogether. Otherwise bad things happen. So I kind of hope I don’t win this giveaway because it will lead me to temptation haha. At the same time–who am I kidding?–I would be in heaven! ;)
Those donuts look delicious!!
I haven’t missed any posts and am going to try the toffee bars this week. Would love to win, I need some new fall running clothes.
I guess I was one of the lucky ones who could still see the posts. I bought nutritional yeast just so I could make the cheez sauce :)
I’ve been lusting after lulu lemon wear for awhile now, but haven’t been able to pull the trigger and buy anything yet. I’d love to try some though.
I love Lululemon! We are finally getting a store where I live! I can hardly contain my excitement!! :)
my lulu pants are they only thing that fit me right now so I could use another pair :P
i love lulu! and i love your blog! :) you always have some tasty treats to share with us.
I’m so excited about the mushroom phyllo! Can’t wait to try it!!! And I’m loooving the new header! very fresh!
Ugh, technology blows. Glad you figured out the problem and got it fixed! I don’t actually own anything from lulu, so I’d love to win and get introduced to the brand!
Pumpkin and my run this AM in the brisk post-Irene air have me PUMPED for fall!
I’ve been waiting to buy some Lululemon gear!!
No problems over here, I was able to see all of your posts. Omg great giveaway, thanks!
I’d love some new lululemon clothes! I never treat myself to nice gym clothes! Thanks! :)
I would love a gift certificate!!! Desperate need for a workout clothing update. Thanks!
Chocolate cake batter smoothie? Must investigate…
I would love to get something from Lululemon! They have some great stuff, but they’re out of my price range so I never shop there.
Always appreciate your amazing recipes. Love the lulu giveaway too :)
What exactly is a donut pan? I checked at Williams Sonoma and the lady looked at me liked I’d grown an extra head! Where idd you get yours? My boys would LOVE homemade donuts. Thanks Angela!
