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!

Ive never bought anything at lululemon since they are so expensive
I would looooove to win. I bought two items from lulu recently {for the first time} “just to try”….and now I’m hooked {unfortunately for my wallet}!
Love your site and love Lululemon!! Going to Canada for the first time on Thursday :)
Would love to win this and give it to my friend whose home was just brutally damaged in the hurricane.
No issues at all with getting new posts in Google Reader, but glad you have the issues resolved. Love the idea of updating the header, though your last one was lovely as well. And who doesn’t love Lulu?! :)
I am looking forward to trying to make chocolate chunk toffee bars and rosemary olive chips sometime! Glad you’re back and so excited for the giveaway!
(long time reader, first time commenter. hi!) thanks for the great giveaway, I love lululemon!
Woohoo!! New fall running clothes, perhaps? ;)
I love the “in case you missed it”s!! When you first posted the “Stuffed Mushroom Phyllo Roll & Mango Kale Salad” I wasn’t feeling like it was something I needed to make, but now that I’m seeing it again I think I’ll give it a whirl!! Weird how your taste buds can want something one day but not the next.
As someone who has been trying to adapt to a vegan lifestyle, your delicious recipes make it so much easier & more tasty!
