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]
I have your blog in my Google Reader and have been getting your new posts just fine. Thanks for all your ideas and the photos. I’ve been re-assessing my eating habits of late and have been making some big changes, and your blog has inspired me with great tasting vegan recipes. I’ve been loving the overnight oats for breakfast! I’ve also gotten into running this past summer and did my first 5K a few weeks ago, so I’d love to get this giftcard! :) Thanks for everything
ohhhhhh awesome giveaway!!! Pick me pick me :) (ps glad you didn’t die ;)).
I’ve hear Lululemon’s the best. Would that be nice to add my endorsement to all the others?
I have been wanting to try Lululemon for so long. Everyone raves about it. Also, love the new look.
Those pumkin spiced donuts look yummy.
I’ve made your kale glow salad & lite tahini salad 6 times since you posted it!
A girl can never have enough stretchy pants! Yay Lulu <3
Yay for Lululemon!
Those donuts are just calling to me! They look phenomenal.
I love your blog and its beautiful photography and its inspiration to be a healthier person! Hoping to win the gift card I love me some lulu!! :) :)
Glad I didn’t miss any of your posts on my end of the internet :)
I loved your post on how to create career happiness! I am so inspired by you! Thank you <3
I invented thumb holes in my hoodie before they were popular (i.e. my hoodie is not from Lululemon, is really old, ragged, but it’s comfy and I love it). I would really LOVE it get a hoodie from Lululemon and the gift card would REALLY help. My husband would appreciate it too. To say he hates my old hoodie is an understatement!
P.S. Thank you for offering this giveaway. Extremely nice of you since you give free stuff to us already everyday (i.e. recipes, humor, stories of life) :)
Lululemon just opened in Memphis. I’ve heard so many good things about them, but I have never tried them. Thanks for the giveaway.
I made your Chocolate Toffee Bars on the weekend, and they were a hit with the hubby (the exact opposite of a vegan)!!
I love your new header too.
Well I’ve seen some of those posts, but I missed to tortilla pizza one!!!
Sign me up for this awesome giveaway — lulu is the only way to go :-D
Glad the issues have been sorted. I usually wake up early to check your blog and decide what recipes to try :)
Love your blog and I would love a luluemon gift card!
I for one love the new header! can’t wait for the fall edition. :)
Love this! Great work
