WELL. The past 24 hours have been quite interesting with the ol’ blog.
Things started out last night…
It was quickly brought to my attention that my blog seemed to have just up and disappeared, and a bunch of you thought I actually decided to quit blogging. No worries, my friends! That is totally not the case…
Long story short, I know what happened…I had switched servers away from BlueHost (they just weren’t being great) but they also happened to delete a specific file that they were told not to. Oh, how lovely of them, right?
I thought things were resolved this morning when I was able to access the blog for just enough time to post this week’s Baby Tooth update. But then about five minutes later, it was gone again…and up until right now, about 5:30pm, I was unable to access it (even though some of you were throughout the day, which just boggles my mind).
ANYWHO…this post (which was originally supposed to go up this morning) is gonna be short and sweet because my patience with technology this evening is pretty slim and I need to just step away from the computer.
Last night when I got home from work, I was a Starvin’ Marvin and wound up snacking a bit before deciding what I really wanted for dinner.
I mean, Kashi crackers go with just about anything in my book, but this TJ’s red pepper spread with eggplant and garlic that I recently bought was an awesome accompaniment. Funny enough, when I first opened up the jar about a week ago, I wasn’t diggin’ it at ALL.
Must have been an off day then, because last night I was ALL about it.
SO much so, that I used it with dinner too. Jay and I were doing our own thing, since he had to work a bit later (and he knows my hunger usually just does not hold out these days) but I was having the toughest time deciding what to have…
Cereal? Eggs? Soup?
Eventually, I wound up rummaging through the freezer and found some veggie burgers chillin’ in there (<—pun totally intended) so I cooked one of those up, topped it with some provolone cheese, and served it on some toasted Martin’s whole wheat potato bread with lettuce and more red pepper spread.
It was simple, but totally delicious.
A few hours later, I was hungry once again, so I made myself a mug of cereal which was thoroughly enjoyed while watching The Bachelor.
I actually wound up staying up way later than I had anticipated to watch the darn episode, but it was a gooooooooooood one, so I was too hooked to turn it off. All I’ll say is, halleluiah! Who’s with me?!
**The Baby Tooth page was updated this morning!!
Question for the Evening:
Hmmm…I’ve got nothin’ for ya tonight, my friends. Hope everyone enjoys their evening!
Ashley @ Life and Fitness says
Mmmm red pepper spread sounds delicious. Was it super spicy?
Annette@FitnessPerks says
Ugh, I am SO sorry to hear about your troubles–what a bummer. I too hate when stuff like that happens b/c it’s so out of my control/league so I feel useless/helpless. Which just makes it worse. :( So glad to hear it’s all fixed though!!
When my husband isn’t around for dinner I usually end up having a sandwich too–so easy & delicious!
Sara@fitcupcaker says
Hallelujah! I am so with you! Finally he realized how crazy tiara was! The bachelor is usually the only show I can stay up late for!
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
Goodness! Glad your blog is back. That sounds like a slight nightmare.
I’m so going to try that red pepper stuff now. I’m always looking for new Trader Joe’s goodies. :)
Chelsea @ Cardio and Cocktails says
I kept checking back because I was all about the Baby Tooth update since I had a check up appt yesterday, I can’t imagine how frustrating that was but at least you didn’t quit blogging! ;)
Miss Polkadot says
Sorry to hear about the blog troubles but I’m glad you were able to fix them. Technology can be so damn tricky!
Enjoy your evening!
Lily says
TIERRA IS GONE!!! :)
Natalie @ Free Range Human says
So glad you’re not going anywhere!
Laura@ Fit Running Mama says
Ugh- tech issues are the worst. I actually moved to self hosted last week wit blue host and it was slightly stressful– had to step away quite a few times. It’s never as easy as it seems!
michelle kim says
Yum! Your snacks look delicious!
And glad to see that you didn’t delete your blog ;) I was wondering what was going on, too!
Lyric says
So happy to see your blog working again! Whenever a post decides to delete itself before I post it, I usually am so not in the mood to post anything after! Love eggplant dips but hate eggplant !? Baba Ganoush is the best and you should try it ASAP.
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Oh, the joys of technology. ;) Glad everything is working again!
What were your thoughts on the Bachelor??
Michelle @ Blogitness says
I need to try that eggplant dip…sounds delicious!
kim@hungryhealthygirl says
I’m right there with ya….halleluiah!! I want to try that eggplant dip. I’ve seen it before, but never been brave enough to give it a try. Glad you’re back in business! ;)
Jenna @ Crazy Healthy Fit says
I bought the same TJ red pepper spread and had it with scallops the other night – loved it!
Amanda @ A Latte Learn says
I’m making a trip to TJ’s tomorrow! That spread just might have to end up in my bag!
Taryn says
Hallelujah is right!! For a second when he left the room I thought he gonna go pick that girl a rose. Just too good to be true!
Tarin @ Office chairs says
Yum. That’s really good.
I wanna try it too. Pretty simple indeed.
Chelsie says
I’m so glad your blog is back up and running! And that episode of The Bachelor was too good!
Nancy says
Red pepper anything tastes delicious doesn’t it? I’m currently obsessed with a roasted red pepper hummus that I found at my local grocery. I could eat tablesoons of it!!
Brooke @ Running In Heels says
Oh yikes!! I’m switching over to Bluehost tomorrow morning.. hopefully everything goes okay for me! Haha
Sarah @PickyRunner says
Whew! That’s a relief. I totally thought your blog was gone. Kidding, I saw your tweet earlier. I’m glad you got it all figured out! I had a burger on toast tonight too. It was delicious.
I hate it when I stay up later than I had planned. It’s been happening too often lately (like tonight, for example).
Angela says
I haven’t watched the Bachelor yet but accidentally saw who’s gone. Can’t wait to catch up though!
Danielle @ Truffles n' Treadmills says
Soooo glad you didn’t quit blogging! You are one of my favorite bloggers out there
Courtney says
Awww, thank you Danielle!! :)
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I am SO tracking down some of that red pepper spread the next time that I am at TJ’s. Is it spicy??
Sometimes the simplest dinners are the best dinners. There is nothing quite as good as a veggie burger with cheese on toast. It makes me hungry just thinking about it and I just ate dinner! ;)
Courtney says
It’s a little spicy, but if I can handle it, anyone can ;)
Erica says
That red pepper spread looks soo delicious. I did the same thing last night and stayed up way later than usual just to finish The Bachelor. Couldn’t. Look. Away. And yes, HALLELUJAH! haha
Avery @ Southern Belle Living Well says
Ahh I haven’t had the chance to watch this week’s Bachelor yet! I’m excited though, apparently it’s a good one!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Happy to hear the blog is working again! Darn technology…geez! My dad bought that TJs spread a few weeks ago and I’ve been LOVING it but keep forgetting it’s hiding in the fridge. i’ll have to figure out how to break it out for dinner tomorrow. :)
Khushboo says
Haha I always appreciate a good pun! Glad you’re back at the blog :D!
Sarah Lynn says
Thanks for the twitter “shout out” :) It’s pretty wild seeing my name up there!
Jessica @ Prayers and Apples says
oh my goodness – i feel your pain w/technology! i started my blog in october and i’ve had at least one mini-crisis a week ever since lol a couple weeks ago i was trying to create a favicon (the little picture in the internet bar) and i somehow messed up some kind of code (i don’t even know if i’m describing this right haha) and my blog just DISAPPEARED! i couldn’t even access my log-in page! i called my mom at 4am balling my eyes out lol luckily it magically re-appeared after i followed some support forum suggestions… ahhh i hate technology!! lol :)
Danica @ It's Progression says
I can finally see your blog posts tonight! Up until now it just wasn’t working. Sorry it was such a pain for you, but I’m glad it’s all fixed, of course!
Bek @ Crave says
Glad your back! :) Hope it’s not stressing you too much. Who is hosting you now?
