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]
Your recipes have changed my life. For real. You also have become a huge inspiration to me and gave me the courage to take care of my body from dealing with my own eating disorders I once had. It’s so funny how we have never met and I feel like I know you! (Hope that wasn’t creepy, it wasn’t supposed to be). Keep the recipes coming because now that I am a health coach I can guide my own clients to help them achieve their weight loss goals while eating amazing dessert-like meals for every meal of the day :)
I’ve never had the guts to buy anything from Lululemon…It’s pretty pricy! But HOPEFULLY now I’ll be able to afford the yoga pants I’ve been eying!
you are so generous!! i’m glad i haven’t missed a post :)
i happen to be a huge fan of your blog and of lululemon! i tell my pilates classes all the time to check out your blog. the most recent dish of yours i tried was the avocado pasta…seriously yummy! :)
It’s funny, I saw some of those posts but not all. Odd. Anyway, I LOVE lululemon, and would die for a gift certificate :)
Just thinking about the chocolate cake batter smoothie and the zucchini bread oatmeal make me happy… Cake batter and oatmeal, two of my favorite things!
Ahhh I need new gym clothes so badly”!
I’ve been an avid reader of your blog for quite a while, but I’ve always left the commenting to others. Today seemed like as good a day as any to step out of the shadows and say hi. The lure of lululemon gear is a powerful thing! But seriously, thanks for this blog and thanks for being you.
Oh my, I love Lulumon! Many thanks for the opportunity, Angela!
I have always wanted to try lululemon! I’ve heard nothing but raves about their products
I am seriously OBSESSED with the chocolate chip cookie dough doughnuts – who would have thought that the 2 most amazing things – doughnuts and cookie dough – could live together in perfect harmony!
Ooooh! I love Lululemon!
Those donuts look wonderful. I can’t believe I’m saying it but I’m ready for fall and all the fall flavors . . .
Thank you for the delicious toffee chocolate chunk bar recipe – they are a huge hit (even with my added hemp protein and maca powder).
Great site – keep the recipes coming!
FREAK the cake batter looks good. Trying to switch to veganism and keep seeing M&Ms and Ritter Sports in my cupboard :D:D:D
What an amazing giveaway for a Moanday!!
I love lululemon. I just went to Vancouver and went to their first store. It was awesome!
I’ve never worn lululemon but there’s a first time for everything!
Just checked out lululemon website! I love the lululemon manifesto. Would like to try some of their products. :D
Angela, I am addicted to your blog, your recipes, and your motivational mussings as you would say! I also suffer with an eatting dissorder. I have lost 120 lbs in the last year. I am having so much fun learning new, healthy, and sattisfying ways to eat. I like to think, I am getting my glow back as well!!
