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!

I have been reading your blog for over a year now and I just want to say YOU GO GIRL!!! Over 1000 comments!!!!!!! Thats insane! I guess a “giveaway” helps but d*** that’s a lot of readers. :D You are reaching out to a lot of people!
I don’t own anything from Lululemon and it’s about time I do! Thanks for this giveaway OSG’s.
I recently started to train for my first 5k. I registered for the 31st Annual Rudolph’s Red Nose 5K k, benefiting Big Brothers of Nashville TN. I would love some new Lululemon to rock with my red light up nose and antlers.
love lululemon!
lululemon, yes please! i’m training for my first marathon and could use some of their nice, fancy clothes to help avoide all of the chafing and discomfort of running 26.2!
I love LuLu! I went to college in Montreal and fell in love…now back in the states everyone jumped on the band wagon!
I’ve finally joined the cult of Lululemon. It’s an expensive habit, but I love the Cool Racerback Tanks.
ah my favorite store!
Would absolutely love a Lulu card!
i love lululemon!
How great that you are offering this giveaway! I adore you and your blog is simply beautiful. It is the kind of blog mine wants to be when it grows up!
Love the new header! – And I can’t wait to try those pumpkin donuts…..love the summerbut kinda ready for fall.
Also I could use some new lulu! – I’m a boot camp instructor and really need some long pants for the fall!
Glad for the recap of posts, since thankfully I was able to see them. But now I can look through all of your amazing recipes and photography again, yuuuum :)
What a great giveaway!
I can’t wait to try the cheez sauce this week. I’m not vegan or even vegetarian but I love trying healthy recipes and feeling like I am making a difference in my health!
Oh, funny – I just discovered lululemon! A friend took me to a free yoga class they were having last weekend and it was wonderful! I plan on going back for sure and this gift card would come in handy :)
Thanks for the giveaway! Those rosemary chips look amazing!
