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!

Love Oh She Glows and Lululemon!!!
Lulu lemon is the BEST! awesome giveaway, Angela!

I love lululemon. But wish I didn’t! So much $$.
I so enjoy your blog and great recipes! I am also a lulu fanatic :) Thanks for all of your insight and creativity!
Hey Angela,
I had made your chocolate chunk toffee bars this week and they were incredible! Shared them with some of my coworkers and we all enjoyed how filling and satisfying even a small square was. I just used whole wheat flour in the recipe b/c that was all I had and it worked w/out any issue. Thanks for always inspiring us!
Looks like my breakfast tomorrow will include a Chocolate Cake Batter Smoothie. Yumm!
Lululemon! <3 I so want to win this!!
i love your blog, and lululemon!
Ooh yay! I love lululemon – my favorite yoga pants are from there!
Love your recipes! Would love to see more!
What a great giveaway! I could totally use some new pants!
I didn’t have any problems with loading the site in the past few weeks. I made the mushroom-phyllo wraps. I made some modifications, but never thought to use phyllo to make a ‘stromboli’ type dish! It was wonderful! Not nearly as heavy as a pizza dough outer crust. It made a fabulous hurricane dinner!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOh I LOVE your chocolate cake batter smoothie mmmmmmmmmmmm I’m gonna make it for my sis when she gets here later this week. I think I made it 3 times last week :S. Would love to win a LULU gc!!!
Those donuts look amazing!
By far the best food blog EVER! Only one I read on a daily basis with so many original and inspiring recipes. Thanks :D
I’ve been LOVING lululemon lately… how perfect!
