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.
In honour of my favourite Canadian athletic store, I’m purchasing a $50 Lululemon gift card and giving it away to one lucky random winner. To enter, simply leave one comment below.
Contest will run until Wednesday. Goodluck!
[Contest Finished]
Does anyone know where you can purchase a mini doughnut pan? I would love to try out the chocolate chip recipe!
I can’t wait to make the Rosemary Olive Oil chips!! Yum!!
I’m a newbie runner who just got benched due to plantar fascitis (I have no idea how to spell that.) I also teach yoga, so hobbling around the class room the past week has been a ton of fun! It’s a lesson in taking it easy though, so I’m trying to go with the flow the best I can.
Discovering your blog has definitely helped with recovery and as soon as I’m back on both feet, I plan to make SO MANY of your recipes. The Cheezy Sauce is #1 on the list.
(Oh … and $50 to Lulu would be icing on the perfect vegan chocolate chip cooking dough cake batter!)
What a great giveaway!
I am in Canada right now for the first time for my first Ironman yesterday. Love seeing all the Lululemon around. Would love to add more to my wardrobe!
Hi there,
This is the first time I left a post on your site – I love it and read it a lot – your story is quite inspiring! Have a nice day – from a fellow Canadian to another!
Simply “heart” lululemon!
How generous of you!
You make vegan look even MORE fun! Pumpkin spice doughnuts…yum!!!
I don’t know what to make first.. everything looks too good!
Those phyllo rolls look amazing!!!
I could always use more lululemon gear. Thanks for all the great giveaways!
donuts! i’ll be all over those for myself with no birthday! and the oatmeal.
Angela- have you ever tried savory oatmeal? i get the feeling you’d be very into it, for dinner even. and also, have you ever tried or thought about doing a juice cleanse, something that also gives me the hint you would be interested in to…
sami
Oh my goodness, you’re like some kind of food genius! I want to make every single one of these recipes! And I also totally want to win the Lululemon giftcard. ;)
I was able to see all your new posts… phew! ;)
Awesome giveaway! Thanks Angela!
glad to hear you’re back in blog business!
i would love some lulu lemon gear for my running attire!
Wowww, I don’t think I will win but I liked your honeymoon pictures, especially Ephesus ones. Might be because I am from Turkey:)
The doughnuts look so delicious and mouth-watering! And I’ll have to try your zucchini oatmeal one day. I just love having an open mind about healthy food and always trying new recipes. :) Also, LULULEMON IS AMAZING.
pumpkin + doughnuts = yummmmm Can’t wait to try!
