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]
I could see you fine, but not your new header! ‘Tis lovely btw.
oh my goodness what a great giveaway I have always wanted something from their but they are so expensive so just drool over my computer screen
I really liked your old header, but I like this one too! Can’t wait to see the autumn header, I love fall! :)
Thanks for all the great recipes and this fun giveaway!
I would LOVE to get that gift card– I cycle through three basic Lululemon bottoms when I work out, which means a LOT of laundry happens around here. I’d like to be able to afford another addition to the lineup!
Yes, please! Some cute new workout clothes would definitely be good motivation to work out!
I wanted to make your chocolate cake batter smoothie when I first saw it, but I totally forgot! I’m glad that you recapped! I’m going to make it right now.
Mmm, so many good recipes! I never missed them the first time around, but still making my mouth water the second time.
I’ve been craving a pair of cropped lulu’s recently… how convenient!
I loved your new recipes
I love lululemon!
I am a new follower of your blog & LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! I’ve started drinking Green Monsters & now crave them in the morning instead of coffee! Thanks =)
I would love to be able to give the gift card to my best friend trying to lose the baby weight the healthy way. She won’t spend money on herself, so it would make a nice treat!
I don’t own a thing from lulu and would LOVE to try it out! Thanks for the great blog!
Thanks for the opportunity for some sweet workout pants!
Love lulu and love your blog! I can’t wait to make the zucchini bread oatmeal!
Your latest batch of recipes (I am dying to make your two lastest donut recipes) look delicous and they will make me need a new pair of Lululemon yoga pants in a bigger size!
Love, love, love your blog! Thanks for all the great recipes. Fingers crossed on the give away, I would love some lululemon gear! :)
thanks for such a great giveaway! I’ll be making those pumpkin donuts in a couple months…if I can hold out that long!
Ahh! I just bought my first Lulu jacket while visiting in California a few weeks ago and I LOVE it! I already have my eye on many many more items I would like to purchase! Well actually…I <3 all Lulu clothing…and your amazing recipes of coursee!
Great giveaway! I love your photos.
