In January we posted a free-downloadable proof recipe book that included all of our Thursty Thursday recipes to date. If you did not download it, here is your chance to do so again – 60+ Thursty Thursday. For our 75th Thursty Thursday newsletter, we are posting your favourite Top Five proof recipes. We will be reporting next week, on Monday March 12th (rather than on Thursday) live from Florida, where we will search for new recipes and ideas to share.
