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]
Ooooh Lululemon is my favorite store too!!!
Oh wow! That’s such a generous giveaway!
What was the mixed feedback of your header though?? I’ll have to read back…
thank you for reposting your updates, I didn’t get to see them all and there are definitely a few recipes I missed that I”m excited to try!
Lululemon is the best! But I can’t afford it, so I would love to win!!
LOVE your blog and the new header!!! I could definitely use some new workout clothes… been in a little bit of a workout funk recently. Nothing some new gear couldn’t fix!
Your blog and all the vegan recipes inspire me! I’ve been working out really hard this summer and one of my rewards is going to be some Lululemon gear! Hmmm this giveaway may help me out ;)
Love your blog- love phyllo too!
My mom started eating vegan and was having problems with finding foods. I came across you blog and I love it! I can wait to make a lot of your recipes! I LOVE Lululemon!
Love your new header as well. I check your blog like everyday, I’ve never been so addicted to a blog before. Because of you, I actually eat a proper breakfast. Thanks!
The new header is great! I just recently started following your blog and I am really enjoying it :) I am not a vegan but I try to incorporate your ideals of more more more veggies in my blended family of 8 meal plans :) thanks for following your bliss and sharing it with the rest of us ;)
I only discovered the blog world about 6 months ago, but I am officially hooked and love your approach to food, health, and life in general! Coming from an Italian family, I was raised with a sense of appreciation for every meal, but now I’ve learned a new way to approach it; eating to both fuel and enjoy . I am currently studying writing at university but after finding a true appreciation for food and fitness, I’m thinking of merging career paths.
LOVE your blog, LOVE your recipes and LOVE Lululemon !
I love your blog Angela! And you of course!!
I have a love affair with lululemon.
Just came across your site from The Great Fitness Experiment. While I’m not a vegan myself, I look forward to trying some of your recipes, they look great! Also a fan of lululemon….. :)
I didn’t have a problem seeing your posts the last few weeks, but I’m glad for the giveaway! PS: the granola bars from last week were AWESOME!
my workout wardrobe is in desperate need of some new lululemon additions!
Holy guacamole… there are a ton of comments! You are loved for sure, Angela ;) I love lululemon, but I find it a tad expensive… I’m broke!
Hey Ang,
Happy Monday! You are, as always, the sunshine in my day. Took the express train from Union station to Montreal for the weekend, and ate some incredible vegan food at The Green Panther http://www.thegreenpanther.com/ their hummous was to die for. The next day, had another incredible vegan meal at Cafe Santropol: http://www.santropol.com/pages/rmenu.html. The Sweet Root sandwich (on some of the best sprouted bread I’ve ever eaten) was out of this world. Grated carrots, coriander, eggless vegan mayo, apple slices? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and ughs,jdfhsdfs *drooooooool*
Thought of you both times. Also, checked out the Jean Talon Market in Little Italy. If you’ve never been there, it is your home away from home without you knowing it. Hundreds of locavore farmers peddling the most beautiful organic, bright, and delicious produce I’ve ever had the pleasure of feasting my eyes (and mouth!) on.
