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.

I love your blog & lululemon!! Your post How To Create Career Happiness FAQ really hit home last week. I have been struggling with my job & trying to figure out my next move & what to pursue to make me happy! Thank you!!
I am not really blogging anymore but I still read and I am one of the “lucky ones” who was able to see your posts still :) I wouldn’t have been a happy camper missing your posts for more than a week! :)
I’m in love with Lululemon!! I wish I made more money so I can get more of their stuff :)
What a great giveaway Angela! Lululemon is fabulous!
I’m moving to toronto this week and can’t wait to check out lulu! :)
I like the new header, not that the old one was bad or anything.
I never enter these, but have been dying to try some lululemon!
Without a Lululemon in Moose Jaw, I am feeling deprived! Thanks for a great site and for hosting this giveaway…so wonderful!
Love the new idea for your blog banner! It really represents OSG well!

I have to say that I discovered your website last year and have been hooked ever since- Yours is the only blog I have ever been loyal to and check on a daily basis. You inspire me to make so many new recipes that I think my grocery bill has doubled LOL!
I’ve been seeing your posts all along, but this post reminded me that I need to buy a donut pan asap.
I would love to be entered in the Lululemon gift card drawing :) I am also glad to be getting your posts again!! Your photos are amazing, I want to book a trip to Athens!
So great to see you back! And I LOVE LOVE lululemon!!
One by one, my family and friends are being educated on the deliciousness of “Easy Vegan Overnight Oats”.
I am embarrassed to say I still have not bought anything lululemon yet!! maybe now is a good time to start ;)
