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.

Wow, all of this food looks seriously divine. Especially that smoothie. Got’a get on trying that!
It’s so sweet of you to do a giveaway for your readers :)
I’m totally addicted to your blog (and Green Monster smoothies now!) Looks like the new posts all showed up on RSS on time for me.
I love the new header and green color scheme. A little change never hurt anyone! I am a big fan of making tortilla pizzas, your recipe looks delicious! I’d also love to win the Lululemon gift card– I’ve been eyeing the Turbo Run shorts for quite some time but they are so pricey. But so cute!
Another great giveaway. Lululemon is the best!
I absolutely adore lululemon! Unfortunately, my student budget doesn’t let me go as crazy as I’d like when I shop there!
Yay, I am super excited for this giveaway!! I’ve only started my current exercise regime of running and barre/pilates type classes in the spring, so I never got around to purchasing an appropriate winter workout wardrobe (plus, the yoga pants I had last winter are now too big!). I definitely need to hit up the Lululemon in my neightborhood.
Uh oh! I guess i missed all of that! lots of catch up to do:P Thats so awesome to give away a lululemon card…amazing!who DOESNT love that store? And i actually love the photo that has the chocolate drips…makes it seem even more taty or something ;)
The spiced pumpkin donuts look so yummy!!! I am going to have to try them. Love lululemon have been dying to try their yoga pants.
Hi Angela,
I’m a long-time reader, but I’ve never commented before. I just wanted to let you know that your posts are inspirational and have helped brighten my spirits through some of my darker career moments. I always look forward to reading your posts!

I love the new header, and lulu! :)
I loved your zucchini bread oatmeal, it was amazing! I made a little tweak this morning and turned it into peach pie oatmeal. I think both ways that pat of earth balance on top is key!!!
I’ve never purchased anything at lululemon but would love to!
FUN! Sign me up! Hope you had a great weekend!
I LOVE your new header and the idea of changing it seasonally. Sort of an emphasis on how our diets should move with the seasons, too! Very groovy.
Awesome giveaway, too. :)
Technology is so confusing sometimes! Glad you got everything straightened out!
I love your site and all your recipes I have tried have been great! I need to buy a donut pan ASAP!!!!
I love this brand but sadly never have enough money for anything, my little boy always comes first.
What a great giveaway! I would love to win this to get some winter running clothes!
Welcome back :) Enjoying my green monster while reading your site is the best part of my morning
