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]
Glad I wasn’t one of the ones missing your posts! That would be a sad day.
Hi Angela! I’m a newbie to the blogging world and a huge Lululemon fan. If only it didn’t put such a huge dent in my pocketbook I would own everything in the store! I absolutely love your blog and have found you so inspiring. And your no-bake date bars are out of this world!!

Because of you my husband eats SALAD!!!! We love your recipes :) Would love to win this prize, been in a running slump and a cute Lulu outfit would certainly fix it! Thanks for the giveway!
I am lucky enough to not have missed a single post- and if you look at what I’ve made for my family in the last week, much of it looks like this recap email!!! Thanks for all your food inspiration. Cooking and eating yummy food is a real pick me up for me, but so is LULULEMON!!!
I’ve been reading your blog daily for a few years (including the past week!) and this is my first comment. :) love lululemon, though not quite as much as your inspirational words!
Oh my goodness I think I would just die if I won this! I live off student loans and can’t afford any yoga or running clothes, I don’t even go into lulu because it just makes me sad! Haha one day…
I would love to get some LULU gear!!! :) Thanks for a great blog!
I’ve heard nothing but good things about lululemon and I finally want to try them!!!!
Would love to win. :)
I made your tortilla pizzas this week and they were super-delicious! Thank you!
Great giveaway! I would love to finally own something from Lululemon!
I’m glad I wasn’t missing the posts either. Thanks for all the great info and recipes :)
I have always wanted to buy something from lululemon. Thanks for the chance to win :)
ah i love Lululemon! i’m doing an 18-mile run in the fall and I think my biggest motivation is the cute outfit i will pick out at Lululemon for the race!
Ooooh lululemon and good food–your website is really the best.
Thanks for this recap post…now I can catch up!
How strange – I remember seeing some of these posts, but not all of them. But, it could be I just forgot (although, how do you forget about donuts??) Glad it’s all back on track, though!
Please, please pick me….love lululemon :)
personally, I LOVE the new look of your blog!
Wow. Very cool about the header. I couldn’t see it until I refreshed. Nice work. Though I will miss your sweet smiling face every time I visit! LOL LULULEMON has some really cool stuff, most of which I cannot afford, unfortunately. Thanks
