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]
Hello! I love you blog and LOVE LULULEMON! Thanks for offering this giveaway!
Omg, Lulu, my favorite!! I had no idea it was a Canadian based company until I went to the mega store on a visit to Vancouver and was blown away… and then so was my budget ;) You are so sweet to do this. And thanks for bringing those donuts back into my thoughts – yumm!!
Great giveaway! So glad that you are back up and running ;-)
I see women wearing lululemon every day at yoga and I swoon… however I have never even been to one of their stores because I hear it is quite pricey. I would love to splurge on some cute yoga gear!
All the posts showed up in my google reader feed just fine. And I loveeee me some Lululemon! It’s just very very out of budget for me right now! ;)
I have a lulu problem. An addiction rather – please enable me to go back to the store and buy!
I tried your rosemary olive oil chips recipe and it was ahh-mazing !!! Thank you!
I’m so trill by this giveway, never won anything but hey, you have to participate right? So, here I am, ready to my baptism of Lululemon brand, I can’t wait to try it myself cause I’ve been reading a lot of awesomes reviews about that company…! I wish you all good luck, faith will decide to whom it will more appropriate! Namaste!
Hi Angela! I’m normally a lurker but I love your blog. I’ve made the easy cheeze sauce and the chocolate pb rice crispy treats. Both were amazing!
Thank you so much for doing this give-away.
I love your blog and although I am not a vegetarian, I have tried several of your recipes and love them. I look forward to checking your blog each day from work, p.s. my boss is a fan too so I don’t have to read your blog in secret at work.

I’m still drooling over the Stuffed Mushroom Phyllo Roll!! and I LOVE the new header!
after seeing these, I really want a donut pan. lulumon gift card would be great too though!
I would loooooooooove to have a reason to buy some lululemon pants!!!
Just waiting to get into the big city to buy donut making pans(can’t get them in my one horse town!) then I’m making all your donut recipes,,,yum, yum! Can’t get lulu lemon here either so it could be a real bonus if I win!
Eeeek, love lulu! I am dying to try their sports bras but have never been able to justify the purchase… yet. :)
Love your blog and of course lululemon gear!
oh girl, i would LOVE to rock some new lululemon yoga pants. i’m in a very transitional phase of life (new job, new apartment, newly single… ay ay ay!) and i plan to sweat out ALL of my toxins (and attitude toxins!) in some bikram classes this year!
thanks for being so inspiring… both culinarily and life-wise. i truly appreciate your wisdom!
I love tortilla pizzas!
Thanks for the giveaway! I love lululemon but my budget just won’t allow for it : (. I really want to try their sports bras, I hear wonderful things about them for well endowed women up top ; ), that’s my hardest thing to find that is comfortable while working out!
LuLu’s clothing is so nice! It (almost) makes me look forward to working out :)
