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.

Contest will run until Wednesday. Goodluck!
[Contest Finished]
Thankfully I didn’t have that missing post issue! :) I read every day and look forward to it. I also love Lululemon and everything I’ve purchased there has been great quality and lasted forever, but I’ve only purchased a few things because it’s so pricey! This gift card would really help me to get some quality gear. Thanks!
Angela, I just love your advice posts relating to leaving your career to follow what you love! Now can you write me one on how to deal with having a massive crush on your personal trainer?? I need help!! Thanks for the giveaway you wonderful woman :)
I love your post. I have made so many of your recipes. Your zucchini bread oatmeal recipe works well with carrot also (ran out of zucchinis) – carrot cake oatmeal. Delicious. I would love to win!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this giveaway — we just got a lululemon store here in Portland, Maine, and I love it there — the people are so nice and the have free yoga classes…it’s a dream!

I agree with people above! Best give away ever. My entire wardrobe would be lululemon if it wasn’t so expensive.
