Hi Martha! So nice seeing you and meeting Rod! I JOINED your program and downloaded โThe Bundleโ. I wish to have it in hard copy (old fashioned me) but, I canโt see or tell how to do that! If/when you have time, can you help? Thanks, Linda. No worries, Iโll keep trying and see if I can fine someone around here! But…….IF you have time?
Hi Linda, it’s all eBooks. What a lot of folks do is just print off recipes as they make them. Then they keep the printouts in the binder. Are you able to access the eBooks?
