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 heart Lulu! :)
I love Lululemon! I’ll be honest though, I’m a discount shopper [read: TJMaxx, Target] so I don’t get to visit Lululemon as much as I’d like. I loved all your posts you chatted about above also! Not to mention, everything I look at the mushroom phyllo roll I still drool
Luckily, someone clued you in about the tech issue!
Lululemon has some great new stuff out, but I always stock up on my old favorites like the cropped pants and cool racerback.
what a sweetheart your are with such a generous giveaway! i’m one of the lucky ones who didn’t miss a thing with your tech mix-up, but i’d be tickled to benefit from the apology!
I personally did not see any issues, but I’m glad you got it figured out anyway.
Love Lulu….and you too!
I wasn’t affected by the technological error! And I’d love to get a running skirt from lululemon but can’t bring myself to spend that much (of my own) money!
Glad everything is fixed! I am drooling over the pumpkin donuts!
I saw all your posts during that time!
and what a nice giveaway, thanks!
I’m in the process of graduating/moving/starting a new job and haven’t been able to cook a thing in months. All I’ve been thinking lately is, “I can’t wait to start cooking Angela’s recipes again!”
this is why everyone should use an RSS reader :)
one day I will win one of these giveaways. I’m determined :P
Lulu has the best workout wear! Love your blog. Me and my friends at law school follow you and love your recipes.
I think I’m going to have a date with that cheeze sauce this week….
I love Lululemon and I’m in need of new yoga pants!
I’m happy you finally figured it out and i can’t wait to check out the athens post, i was there a couple of years ago and got some amazing photos :)
I love Lululemon! Great giveaway! Thanks so much for all the recipes again. Even though my Google Reader wasn’t impacted, and I saw all of these the first time around, this post reminded me that I want to try more recipes with phyllo.
My wedding is in 6 weeks and this would be perfect to keep me motivated to stick to my workouts before and after the Big Day! I read everyday and found your career changing post very inspirational as I am contemplating one myself! Thank you!
Thankfully, I’ve been one of the lucky ones who could still see your posts. :)
Yay Lululemon! They have wonderful things!
I can’t wait until more of your autumn recipes start rolling in again! Your pictures, too, from fall are always amazing.
Peace!
Yay for lulu lemon!
