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.

Love the new header! I’m kind of itching to buy one of those donut pans…all the recipes seem so temping! Especially the most recent one you made…;)
You’re blog is such an inspiration. Thanks for the great recipes!
What an awesome giveaway hosted by an awesome blogger. Thanks!!
I’ve been eyeballing Lululemon gym bags recently… cost lots of $$$ but $50 would go a long way to defraying the total! :)
The zucchini bread oatmeal was outstanding… I made during the week for myself and it was truly an amazing food experience…
I repeated this weekend with fresh zucchini from my dad’s garden.. and well he went absolutely NUTZ over it… By the way he was a CHEF in Italy so this is a HUGE COMPLIMENT TO you!!!
Love your site and Adore your recipes…
Thanks so much and please don’t ever leave us…
So glad you’re not dead! I love all these recipes, so do my college roommates. i make it all, then they all mysteriously disappear….
This is perfect- i LOVE lululemon! Plus then I’ll be able to wear some cute yoga clothes to their free yoga classes :) and i have to say, i also LOVE all of your recipes! I’ve been obsessed with different varieties of nut butter lately, but I’m wondering if i should start making some of my own to save money. A jar of peanut butter is only 2 dollars here and I’m not sure if I’d save much money, would i?
Great giveaway!
