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!

Hi! Glad you’re back on track! :))) any chance you can update us on how you’re working out while travelling + how your regular workouts are going? I’m doing the Insanity DVD’s right now but am always on the lookout for some extra motivation and love hearing what others are doing to stay/get in shape.

ps: hope I win the Lululemon gift card, I could definitely use some new workout clothes!! ;)
i love lulu but def can’t ordinarily afford even a sweat band. !! awesome.
Love your recipes. Your such an inspiration!
I have yet to purchase anything from Lululemon, but I adore their clothes. I start my first “big girl” job next Tuesday, and when I got hired (back in the spring), I promised myself that with my first pay check as a treat to myself for all the hard work I’ve done on my mat (began practicing in Feb. of this year) & for a “congrats” present to myself, I am treating myself to 2 things from Lulu! I have almost broken down twice this past month, but I know I will feel a special sense of victory & satisfaction when I use my “big girl job” money to make the purchase!
Thanks for fixing the problem, because I can’t wait to try the toffee bars & pumpkin donuts recipes!
Making these toffee bars tonight!
I just went to a free outdoor yoga class hosted by lulu lemon this weekend!
Those chocolate chunk toffee bars are calling my name! I’ll definitely try to make my own version of it come winter. I love your recipes, they’re so delicious!
OMG I love lulu! YOUR recipes are absolutely amazing!
Awesome I love that store! So glad I never had any problems, although I must admit seeing the posts again made me super hungry… again. hahaha
Those rosemary chips look amazing!
