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]
You are kidding me! What a sweet girl you are! I was in Oakville for Curling a few years ago and discovered Lululemon, drool! I wanted one of everything! Comfy and beautiful!
I really enjoy reading your blog and trying your delicious recipes!
I would love to win! Still don’t own any Lululemon clothes!
In need of some new workout clothes for fall! Thanks for the chance!
I love your giveaways, but I love your recipes more :) Even my husband checks your blog for new recipes to make! You are just such a great gal and huge inspiration.
I love Lululemon! I’m from the West Coast… I’ve caught the bug!
I am a huge fan of lululemon! Absolutely love their apparel and colorful clothing! I always attend their free yoga sessions on Sundays at the Princeton store. Their clothes makes me feel cute and fashionable even when I’m not doing yoga :)
Oh I would love to win this!! Can’t wait to try a couple of your recipes before I head back to school! :)

Lululemon, awesome! By the way I found your blog about a month ago, I was VERY excited to find a Canadian fitness/nutrition blog, love it!
Favorite store of all time? Lululemon
How long it takes me to get to the nearest one? 1.5 hrs
How much I would love this gift card? Oh so much…
you’re awesome & i really hope i win this giveaway! i can’t keep doing weights in running shorts!
All of those pictures/recipes look beautiful! I’m constantly inspired by your recipes and can’t wait to try some on my own!
I’d love to win! I loooooove lululemon :)
Pick me! Pick me!
Love your blog and bars Angela! :)
I just went on a run past a Lululemon store this morning. I would make good use of that gift card. Great recipes by the way!
I have not set foot in luluemon for years because as a student I can’t afford the high prices of their athletic wear, albeit I do love the quality and style of their products. I hope I’m picked not for my sake, but for the people in my yoga class who have to look at the same t-shirt I wear every day. :)
Love Lulu! Am enjoying your FB posts too.
I’d live to win the gift card! And I love that I didn’t miss out on any posts!
I’m a frequent reader and rare commenter who has recently gotten back into organized yoga (i.e., classes, rather than my living room) after a long hiatus in part because I was inspired by your descriptions of your own hot yoga experience a few months ago. So I’m commenting in part for the chance to win the Lululemon gift card … but also to thank you for the inspiration!
oh yes please!
