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]
Between you and Mama Pea, I’ve got to get myself a doughnut pan!!
lovin’ your recipes :)
I loved the zucchini bread oatmeal. My family has had it 3 time in the last 2 weeks. I love your blog!
is it too late to enter??
I tried and loved the chocolate chunk toffee bars – with some adjustments: honey, walnuts & peanuts, almond butter, no butter, almond milk. They are like a little chocolate bar. Really enjoy your blog.
Thanks Jessie! Glad they were enjoyed :)
I’ve also got the travel bug! It must be the anticipation of the cold weather that we’ll be seeing in the next few months!!
I still keep making the protein power salad over and over, I just haven’t gotten sick of it. Thank you! It also means that I was finally finally able to make something for my vegan friend who doesn’t do soy. Phew.
I’m about to start a 30 day yoga challenge; a lululemon gift card would be the perfect bit of motivation! :)
I don’t know what I love more … Lululemon or Oh She Glows!
Thank you Angela for your insights, advise, wisdom, encouragement … and great recipes!

I think I try too hard to make my donuts healthy and then they end up being cardboardy. Must find more recipes!
Gotta love lululemon!
mmm those toffee bars look so good!
love the potato chips so easy and decisions!
I came to print out the cinnamon sugar donut recipe, but while I’m here I might as well enter the giveaway…. :)
Oooh! Ooooh! Oooooh! Pick me! Pick me!
I so need a new pair of grove pants.
I LOVE LULU!!!! Everything I own from there is fabulous – but so expensive! I would love a giftcard!!!
The chocolate chunk toffee bars look amazing, but as someone who can’t eat either chocolate or nuts (allergies), impossible. Any suggestions on what to sub in in their place?
I made a big batch of your goddess protein bowl for my lunches this week! Delish!
Uhm… I can’t wait until it cools off so I can use my oven without turning my apartment into a roasting pan… soooo many good recipes to make!
Not sure if its too late to enter but I would love to win. I haven’t been able to bring myself to buy anything so expensive!
