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]








My boyfriend is obsessed with that cake batter smoothie! :)
hmm..not sure if My first comment posted(?)
Anyway, still verrrrry excited about this giveaway (and life) !
What an awesome giveaway!
I tried on the most comfortable pants from Lulu a few months ago, but decided if it was meant to be I would get them later. I just can’t justify spending $100 on yoga pants…but I’m obsessed and want them! Thanks for buying this giftcard for a reader, that’s so generous of you!
Thanks for the recap! The gift card would come in handy for some fall run wear :))
Mmmm…Just wanted to say I tried out your chia overnight oats last night. Just had them for breakfast with a peach and…wow. I’m amazed something requiring no effort is so delicous :)
Thanks!
Thanks so much for everything! For writing this blog in the first place, for your recipes, and for this giveaway.
Big fan here. I tout your blog to whomever I can, and especially to those who are curious about eating vegan. Everything you post looks amazing.
Hi Angela,
I love your blog and all of your gorgeous and delicious-looking recipes. You are such an inspiration every day! I practice yoga regularly and I love lululemon gear…I only own a few pieces though because it is $$$! Sure would love to add to my collection :)
I’m due for some lululemon!!
I already have something picked out at lulu if I win-
I’ve heard great things about Lululemon. Thanks for the entry!
So glad you aren’t MIA anymore! I was wondering what happened to my daily OSG! : )
What a great giveaway! Thanks, Angela! :-)
Love lululemon. Clothes are so pretty it is a pity to sweat in them.
I’d LOVE to try Lululemom! And I’m bookmarking this page for the recipes – looks so good!
I love Lulu! And I have been seeing all your posts on my google reader.
I got lucky I guess, I didn’t miss any of your posts! And I love lululemon :) Great idea!
I’m entering this Lulu contest because I started doing yoga, lost 18lbs and I’m dying to buy new clothes. :D
oh wow! i love lulu and just discovered they are opening a store blocks away from my apartment. this could be dangerous :)
