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]
How did I miss those cinnamon sugar doughnuts?! I cannot wait for fall for a multitude of reasons… not least of which is the excuse to bust out the pumpkin in baked goods or soups :)
Happy Monday, Angela!

AH!!!! I love lululemon!
PS- The rosemary olive oil chips sounds amazing!!!
Ah I love lululemon!!
I definitely missed a lot of these!! Love the doughnut recipes. I bought a pan from the Wilton tent sale a few months ago and have yet to use it. Not for much longer!
AGHHH LULU! I would loveeeeee this. Plus my birthday is next week! For some reason new workout clothes make working out that much better! Awesome giveaway!
Also…when is YOUR cookbook coming out!!! I need the recipes all in one book so I dont have millions of pieces of paper lying around!
Your blog & Lululemon are my two favorite Canadian addictions! I can’t get enough!
I would love a little shopping at Lululemon!
This lululemon card may be the kick in the tush I need to start running again!
Thank you Angela for all of your inspiration!!!!!!
I made your chocolate cake batter smoothie the other day, adding a new favorite to my smoothie repertoire. It was so good! Thank you!
I also {heart} Lululemon! I would love to treat myself to something from their store.
I get to be the 1001st comment! Well…here it is! I will be trying the pumpkin muffins because up in the Yukon where I live fall is here!
i have lost about 50# over the last 8 months and a 50$ lululemon giftcard would be a HUGE help to my depleting workout wardrobe!!
I have never bought anything from lululemon! I’ve walked into one and I was in awe! I would love a GC!
oh i love lululemon! what an excellent blog give away!!
Glad you got things back up & running! All the new posts look beautiful!
Have only made veggie burger, green monsters, and peanut butter cookie blizzard so far, but ALL so Fabulous! Even my ‘steak and potato’ husband loves ’em. I can’t make those pbutter chocolate balls too often though…I eat more of those throughout a day ‘for energy boost’ then actually making a nice blizzard for after dinner! Thanks for sharing!
Those cinnamon sugar pumpkin spice donuts look AMAZING. I may have to drive to Sur La Table right after work to pick up a donut pan (or two).
Hi Angela! I am a loyal reader and look up to you for your honest, calm, and confident perspective. You inspire me to keep on moving and carrying out my healthy lifestyle amidst changes and insecurities in my own life. I just moved from Manhattan Beach, CA to Manhattan, NY for my psychology doctoral internship. Not my ideal choice for a city because it is so chaotic, but I am finding my peace, and balance (luckily I live close to Central Park) and your blog serves as a constant source of motivation and inspiration for me. You are such a strong woman. CHEERS to you, Angela! : ) I hope you have a wonderful week!
I see everyone in lulu lemon at my yoga classes, but have none of my own. I’d love this gift certificate! Also, I’ve been on vacation in the mountains for a week and was so excited to catch up in your posts when i got back to civilization and the internet! Mmmm toffee bars.
OMG! I LOVE lululemon! My favourite yoga/workout wear store.
