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!

I made the cake batter on my birthday! It was great!!
That chocolate cake batter smoothie looks scrumptious! I LOVE lululemon!
I was one of the lucky ones to see them all, but I like recaps. It reminded me I want to make the cheezy sauce this week.
love lululemon!!
whew. . . I am so glad I didn’t miss out on your post last week! I don’t know if I would have made it without the chocolate cake batter smoothie and I have been on the hunt for doughnut baking pans. I have a zucchini screaming at me from the fridge to make the zucchini bread oatmeal. Thanks so much for all you do!
I love Lululemon! But then, I guess everyone does ;)
I just have to throw my name in for this one :)
Angela,
Not only was your blog the first I found that enticed my “healthy living blogs” addiction, but in addition I have found solace in your attitude on life as I have suffered and have a similar story to yours.
Oh, and it doesnt hurt that your recipes and mind-blowing ;)
I hope I win! I have never been able to shop at lululemon before- I just oogle from my computer the amazing styles!
Glad you’re back (ish..?!) glad to see these posts!
Lucky for me I didn’t have any problems with the new posts and have been drooling over the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Glazed Doughnuts, in particular!
Just one of many comments haha, but your blog is always amazing. I follow it every day, always searching for new fun recipes! Will def try the toffee crunch bars!
Those Chocolate Chunk Toffee bars look amazing. I think I will make them this week!
I’ve been running in the same few “shabby” outfits for an embarrassingly long time and I would love some real workout gear! Also, I tried your “cheese” sauce the other night and it was delicious!
Abso-friggin-lutely amazing giveaway! Pick me, random number generator! Pick me!
I have been obsessed with the chocolate chunk toffee bars ever since you posted about them. Seriously, they haunt me. I need to get my hands on some rice syrup! :)
Hi there!
Because of YOU I am successfully converting my meat-loving husband from a carnivore to a vegetarian (soon a vegan). I just made your amazing cheese sauce this weekend and LOVED it! I made it for some kids I babysit for, couldnt tell it wasn’t their normal mac and cheese :-)
Thanks for being awesome!!!
Carolyn
Also staring down several zucs in my fridge right now. They’ve ‘mysteriously’ appeared in everything from tacos to smoothies…can’t wait to try the oatmeal!
