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]
I love Lululemon’s clothing. I know it’s silly, but I feel like I work out harder when I’m wearing a cute outfit.
I will definitely be trying the zucchini bread oatmeal. We have so much of the stuff in the garden and I running out of things to do with it! Thank you! :)
ooh, lululemon! I’d love to win and see what the hype’s about! The price, thus far, has made me a bit hesitant.
Those pumpkin doughnuts are on my list of things to make once the leaves start changing :) I’ve never bought anything from Lululemon, but lust after all their great items that I see bloggers wearing.
I am DEFINITELY making the olive oil chips this weekend for a BBQ!!!
Love, love, love Lulu! I also love, love, love your page. I have been continuing to make steps toward a more plant based diet and your site has been such a GREAT source of inspiration and recipes! Thank you and keep it comin’! :-)
Yes! This is perfect timing. I was looking for something “special” to make tonight for my & my hubby’s 2yr anniversary. Stuffed Phyllo roll it is! (but swap the kale for the bushels of spinach i need to use up).
Thanks for re-posting!
Love lululemon – the products and what it gives to the community!
I’d LOVE to win this gift card! I’ve been wanting some Lululemon gear for months now, and this gift card would help me buy some new workout clothes!
your honeymoon pictures have me longing for my semester abroad when all i did was travel!!
Incredibly inspiring story! I’ve struggled with my weight since I was young as well and it’s so encouraging to see how you have created such a loving relationship with food and your body! And the recipes are delish!
Awww how sweet of you to host a giveaway! I would love to win :) Glad I wasn’t one of the ones who missed a week of posts!
I could really use a new Lulu shirt- the scoop neck variety is really the best!
gimme gimme gimme!:-) As I venture into my bikram yoga journey, I could really use some quality workout gear!
Angela,
It is so sweet of you to hold this generous giveaway for an awesome athletic brand!! Always love your recipes, way you write and relate to people in the internet community, and your blogger dedication!
-J
So glad to see your posts again!
I have a rosemary plant and have been at a loss as to what to use it for. Rosemary Olive Oil Chips it is!
I love Lulu… it’s quality over quantity with their workout gear. Although I could use a larger quantity – working out 6 days a week would be better with more than one pair of bottoms!
Lulu is my favorite too! Love the new header!
I love Lu Lu lemon!! I just bought my first pair of pants from them, and I will never wear another brand! Love!!! :) great giveaway! I missed some of those post..but I am SUPER excited for those donut recipes!!
It’s my birthday on Wednesday… a $50 lulu gift certificate would basically be the best bday present ever!!
Love your site! Thanks for hosting an awesome giveaway :)
