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.

[Contest Finished]
I love your blog because it inspires me to make changes in my own life. Keep up the good work!
Enjoy all of your recipes and following your blog. Made the choc chip donuts as “muffins” b/c I didn’t have donut pans…turned out great! :-) Looking forward to trying the choc chunk tofee bars and the high protein tortilla pizzas this week.
Love the giveaway! And can’t wait to try some of the donut recipes.
So nice of you to always be thinking of your blog readers :) You are truly an inspiration in everything you do. Your blog is the reason i’ve started slowly exploring veganism and also, had the courage to sign up for my first half marathon!
Oh yay! I love lululemon!
This may be the best giveaway ever :) I’ve been DYING to go to Lululemon but I’ve been on a very tight wedding budget so I haven’t let myself go there!! This would be awesome to win!
Was just in lululemon today. Sadly, couldn’t afford anything myself.
Love your blog and Lululemon!
Amazing giveaway! Also, those donuts look delish!!!
love lulu and your blog! So many new yummy recipes to try!
Thanks for re-posting these! Sad I missed them the first time around but I’m looking forward to catching up.
I love lululemon! And I love your blog:)
I love lululemon! I love your blog, here’s to good luck…
I went into a Luluemon store for the first time recently. I saw a lot of cute things that I could spend the $50 certificate on. Thank you for your give away. I also thank you for your recipes. I am a big fan of the no bake date bars and your overnight oatmeal. I enjoy your blog every morning.
We have Lulu here in Oz, but it’s more $$ so I stock up every time I go home to Canada! I LOVE it.
Yay, lululemon!! BTW, love the new header – great choice!
i hope i get lucky with lululemon!
I’m not really a smoothie person, but that cake batter smoothie looks so good! I may have to give smoothies another try…
Gotta luv Lulu!
This is a fabulous giveaway! Lululemon is a bit of an addiction for me! :)
