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 have to win this! :-) I recently lost my job, and am using my “time off” to go back to the gym and try and get healthy again. I love Lululemon, but am unable to indulge, so this would be a wonderful motivational reward!
Love this giveaway hanks so much! Love getting your emails,I learn something new everytime.
I love how everything you make in the kitchen is indulging AND healthy! These doughnuts look like the ones you can buy at the fair minus the trans fats… ;)
I could definitely use some new Lululemon gear! :)
I love your blog! All your recipes look amazing! It would be great to have a some Lululemon gear!
Lulu Giveaway – wahoooo.
I hope this isn’t too late! I think I’ll have to make myself some of those chocolate chip doughnuts today :D
You make me want to try all these recipes and trust me I’m not a kitchen person. :o)
Love the blog and I always get the most amazing ideas on how to feed healthy and fun foods for my 4 year old who says “veggies hurt tummies”. Little does he know he’s eating them thanks to you!
I’m in love with the zucchini bread oatmeal, I’ve eaten it for breakfast 5 times in the past two weeks! Next week I’m going to try your carrot cake oatmeal!
I’ve been one of the lucky ones, able to see all your posts :) I’ve never shopped at lululemon, but keep looking at all their cute workout clothes online!
I believe my broken heart needs those chocolate toffee bars…and perhaps a lululemon gift card
Hmm, cheeze sauce AND chocolate? Love it.
Yummy donuts! :D
I love lululemon to death. I hope I win!
Hi Angela- I love your blog. You inspired me to start running for the first time- I’ve always been an avid walker but hated running- and I’ve been loving it!
Yuummm! This post is making me hungry! Can’t wait to try out these recipes!
I want to make the rosemary olive oil chips!! I made your salt and vinegar ones a few weeks ago and they were gone before I could even put them on a plate!
I don’t have anything from lululemon and would love to!!
Thanks for the updates! I did miss some of the posts.
