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!

[Contest Finished]
I am wiping the droll off my face from those pumpkin spice muffins and $50 to lululemon. :)
Your blog never fails to bring a smile to my face. This give away brought on an extra big grin ;)
I love Lululemon. I introduced my husband to Lululemon & he wont wear any other workout clothes now.
Can’t wait to try those Rosemary Olive Oil Chips, they look delish!
Love your site! Keep the goodness flowing.
This would make my day if I won!
Waw, so many comments already! There will be one lucky man or woman wednesday.
Hope I have the luck on my side,
greetings, Sarah
I think I need a little Lululemon in my life! EVERYONE at my yoga studio sports a few pieces from Lululemon and I think I must be the only one who has never experienced the comfort and cuteness of wearing something from there. $50 gift card would make my day!
I am a yoga/work out fanatic and have been dreaming about owning workout clothes from them! Lululemon has such nice pants but they are out of my budget. I would be so grateful to win this raffle!!! P.s. I made your amazing veggie burgers 3 times this week! They are a hit in my house. Also good if you put an apricot/bbq sauce spread on top :)
OMGosh do those chocochip donuts look good! Thanks (as always) for the recipe!!!
you inspire me in so many ways……lulu would be proud.
I’ve heard so much about Lululemon and would love to finally try it out!!
i must try that cake batter smoothie! and i love lululemon!
Your blog is so inspiring! And nothing gets me more excited for fall than the words vegan pumpkin donuts. I die!
I just saw there store! It’s the most beautiful workout gear I’ve ever seen! But a bit too expensive for a graduate student. :)
Thanks for always posting such great recipes!
I discovered your blog recently and I’m in love with! I want to try all your recipes! Congratulations!
love your blog! So glad i stubmled upon it!!
So glad you got the computer issue fixed…..fortunately I was one of the one still getting new posts :) Can’t wait to make those toffee bars…they make me drool just looking at them. Our weather here in NJ is starting to cool down a bit so I can start cranking up the oven again soon. (At least without my finace getting mad because I’m cranking up the air to counter-balance the heat from the oven , LOL)
Oh I would love a new lululemon tank! Thanks Angela!
