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!

What an awesome giveaway! I’m going through a major life crisis at the moment and I’m not gonna lie, a bit of Lululemon love would be just what I need to cheer myself up!
Thanks for the contest, Angela!
Can you believe I’ve never even stepped foot inside of a Lululemon store? And we have 2 in Charlotte! I have a feeling it would be bad for my pocketbook, but I would love to win this giveaway. :)
Loved your career post this week about loving what you do. Very inspiring and motivating … and I learned, most of all, to follow my gut. Cheers!
Obsessed with Lulu! Had to post (for the first time) for a chance to win. Thanks for hosting a giveaway!
I would love to win. My favorite workout clothes are from Lululemon!

Hey Angela!
I’m just another inspired “foodie” and read your blog daily. I have made several of your recipes and your story motivates me to continue my healthy route.
Keep glowing! =]

Went into LuLu the other day and heavily contemplated buying a pair of oh sooo comfy pants, but decided to save it for a day where i was feeling better about spending money haha. Would love to win a gift certificate!
I so want to win this! I’m dying for some wunder under’s!
I can’t believe how many recipes I’ve made from your blog! I love all of them! :) I hope I get this gift card, since I’ll need it for college shopping!
I just discovered your blog. I love it!! Love Lululemon too!
Mmmm! Now I want Chocolate Chunk Toffee Bars…and donuts. Chocolate Chunk Toffee Donuts? Yes please! Glad to hear everything is well and you got your PHP cache issues sorted out! Thank goodness for our tech savvy men to help us out, eh? :)
I haven’t gotten any Lululemon stuff yet and realllly want to!!!! Happy the blog is all better :)
I’ve heard so much about Lululemon – I’d love to try out some of their stuff! :)
Fortunately for me I did not miss a single post. :-)
I am in desperate need of a new pair of yoga pants so this card would be amazing. Especially as I an usually too cheap to buy my pants at Lululemon.
I had trouble viewing your posts too- glad to hear you’re okay!!!
I LOVE Lululemon and was just introduced to it about a year ago- LOVE!!! My wallet is hating me, but I can’t help myself! Have you seen their new riding jacket? It is adorable. The $50 gift card would definitely go towards one of those!
