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.

Contest will run until Wednesday. Goodluck!
[Contest Finished]
You are awesome! I love Lululemon, and thanks so much for the post recaps, I think I need to make those chocolate toffee bars right now :)
whoo boy! 31 pages of comments! what a crew of followers you have!
Two things:
1) I LOVE your new header
2) I always go into lululemon, but never buy anything. I would LOVE the gc to get me over the hump :)
Great giveaway Angela! My husband surprised me with a pair of the wonder under crops and I love them! Would love to try out a tank!
I have never bought anything from Lululemon…but I hear it’s fabulous!
Thanks for doing a great give-away!!!
The pictures of your honeymoon travels are so interesting, great idea to post them. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love your dessert recipes. Can you do more Larabar remakes?
Oh..and I love Lulu too!
Wow… I guess my chances are small considering all the comments :) And I agree with the others who are saying that they will miss your smile from the header, my opinion is that you should put a small pic of you on the side, like most bloggers do. It will add a personal touch to the blog and we won’t be missing your smile! :)
ooh i would love to win this card! I have been wearing the same pair of Lulu lemon pants since grade 11. I am now 23. I have worn them throughout my entire pregnancy and they have holes all up the legs! They are so comfortable though and I refuse to throw them out until they get a hole in the crotch haha! But I would definitely love to win this gift card so I can put it towards purchasing a new pair! :)
i love lululemon but i’ve never bought anything there.
I’m glad you are okay! I love Lululemon!! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Oh good, I’m glad to hear everything is okay! I was a bit concerned too! :)
I like the new header……colorful!
Those doughnuts look AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to try them!
Wow, a lululemon gift card would make for some really fun shopping!
I live in Lulu, from yoga… to work to…running around town… to doing it all! :) To me, a perfect giveaway!
I have got to get on it with making those doughnuts too!
I like the new header!
And I love Lululemon!
I’m glad you’re “back” and I love the new header! It makes me want to go cook something. Also, Lululemon rocks.
Mama needs a new yoga shirt! Thanks for doing this Angela! :-)
I should really stop reading your blog before lunch! It always makes me so hungry!!
That pizza looks like its to die for!
and lulu… what could be better :)
