  1. Hello,
    I'm writing to ask if you've been sending recipes to our inbox in the last three weeks. I ask because I was getting them every week but haven't received one in the last few weeks. If you could let me know what I need to do to continue, I'd appreciate that.
    Thank you.

    1. Hi Linda, you should be getting them. The only reason you would stop getting them is if you don't open any of them for a few months our email provider will archive your address. Try entering your email again in the black bar at the top of the post. If it says you are already subscribed, let me know and I'll dig a little deeper.
