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 didn’t miss any of the posts but thanks for the reminder to make those pumpkin donuts!
I’d love to buy some gear from lululemon–I’m really thinking about trying hot yoga–I just got a coupon for an unlimited month of classes! A new lululemon top would be exactly the motivating thing to get me to show up. Thanks for your wonderful blog, cheerful spirit, and willingness to open up to the world around you.

I have never been able to splurge on Lulu clothes but am currently coveting one of the short-sleeved tech tees that look so soft and delicious (though not as delicious as your cinnamon sugar pumpkin donuts — oh my). The Lulu tech tee would be great for my upcoming trek to Everest Base Camp because it supposedly masks smell well, and I definitely won’t be bathing much!
The recipe re-cap sounds delicious, I have to try one of your doughnut recipes for my pastry obsessed hubby. Have a hard core day, Angela.
Looking at all those photos from your week of posts made me hungry!
I’d love a Lulu gift card…I can never have too many cute yoga clothes!
I LOVE lululemon!!
What a great giveaway! I love lululemon!
I am a lulu fanatic!
Lululemon = love. Almost as much as the chocolate cake batter smoothie.
Well that would certainly add a little something to my day :)
I am a mama-to-be and need new clothes, lol. Pick me :)
I’ve been reading your blog consistently since the beginning of last summer (when I decided to make the switch from vegetarian to vegan) and this is the first time I’ve ever posted! Your creative recipes, words of wisdom, and goofiness are a constant source of inspiration to me!
yay for lululemon giveaways! I would love to win – I could wear lululemon gear while making the delicious (new to me as I was impacted by this problem) recipes from the last week.
Great giveaway, Angela. And those rosemary chips look SO amazing!
I LOVE your blog! It has become my go-to for great recipes. Thank you!
I love all of your recipes and a lot of them are actually great for my college student budget and needs! Things like those bars and one pot meals (or pizzas) are things I can make for the week. You keep me healthy ms. oh she glows! Thanks! :)
Thank you for the doughnut recipe. I know that will be the sure way to my husband’s heart this fall when I’m feeling inspired in the kitchen.
I’ve admired Lululemon’s designs but haven’t splurged on them yet. It’d be so fun to browse and then buy something. Thanks!
The mushroom phyllo roll is making me hungry! And I love lululemon!
I’m so glad you figured that issue out! Your posts are the first ones I read everyday :). That gift card would be amazing! I’m obsessed with all Lulu’s stuff, but can only get things every once and a while because it is a bit on the pricier side.
