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]
Who wouldn’t love to some new warmer Lululemon gear for the fall!
I’ve never been to lulu but their clothes look so cute and comfy!
I just died and went to food porn heaven – those recipes look AMAZING!
I am a fellow lulu-lovah, unfortunately their goods are too pricey for me to buy out the whole store like I’d like to! I would LOVE a gift card! :)
Awesome Giveaway!
A new lulumon just opened near me. I can’t wait to go browse. It’d be even better with a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. *wink*
Love Lululemon and can’t wait to try the cake batter smoothie…
I’ve wanted to purchase some lululemon workout gear for a while, and a gift card would make me do it!!
I love lululemon, but I don’t buy there stuff often because it’s a little pricey. What a lovely give away!
I’m starting yoga teacher training this fall and could definitely use some new gear! Being vegan in Canada is not always easy, thanks so much for your website!
Can’t believe to read that there’s another give-away… from lululemon.
I dream of getting some sports wear from them but unfortunately there are no shops in Germany.
BTW I could read all your posts without any problems.
Have a nice Monday!!!
I just started reading your blog and love it! So many recipes I want to try! Would also love a lululemon gift card :)
First post! Love your blog!
I’m seriously OBSESSED with your site.
& lululemon is a favvvorite of mine, for sure. xo
I really am thinking about investing in a donut pan. My kids would love it if I made homemade donuts.
Love this giveaway- thanks girl!
I’m loving your new header! Can’t wait to see it change as the seasons do.
I made the cake batter smoothie! I don’t know how I lived without this before….
The cookie dough doughnuts were awesome! I’m glad I saw this recipe when you first posted it because I’ve made it twice already!!!! Thanks.
Love your blog and you give away free things!!! Couldn’t get any better :)
Love the recap of amazing recipes from the last week. I was able to see them all so I feel lucky… if only they could all magically appear in front of me right now… :)
