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!

I have been dying to get a pair of LuLu Lemon pants!!!
I made your kale salad last week and it was wonderful. I can’t believe how much kale just a few plants can produce!
great blog!! it’s part of my daily morning routine and always brightens the day :)
Those donuts look delicious! I can’t wait to bake them
I bought a donut pan that I still haven’t used, but I’m thinking I need to change that with that pumpkin spice recipe!
& <3 lululemon
Love the new header and looking forward to the seasonal change!
Love me some Lululemon!
I wasn’t having trouble seeing posts, but i did miss the donuts the first time around!
Oh boy, I made those pumpkin spice donuts……so delicious! <3
I absolutely adore lululemon and their core values. I would love to win :)
I would LOVE to try Lululemon. I’ve heard such great things!
Hi Angela! All the recipes on your blog look absolutely delicious, and I’ve made quite a few of them myself to know that they really are!
Glad you’re ok!
I want those donuts, yum! Maybe apple cider donuts will be soon to follow? :)
I am slightly addicted to Lululemon, I may already have a wish list of items!!!
Angela, I really love your blog. While I am not a true vegetarian or vegan, you have encouraged me to eat like one :)
Even though I’m not a vegan or anywhere close, I still thoroughly enjoy your blog.
Thankfully I was not affected by such a travesty, I feel for those you were! Love lululemon!
I can’t justify buying anything there with my current budget but the giftcard would definitely convince me! ;)
My daughter and I are totally addicted to the chocolate chip cookie dough balls! So good! Love the new header by the way :-)
I love your fresh, positive and REAL outlook on life, it is really inspiring! I look forward to reading your blog every day and seeing what new and delicious creations you have made!
Loved your career post and passed it on tomy clients going through various transitions. I think its always awesome to reflect on what you loved to do as a kid, and see how it matches up with your current hobbies/work. Keep up the inspiring posts and deliciously creative recipes!
