What do I do if I am having a problem adding recipe ingredients or meal plan ingredients to my grocery list?
We’re sorry you are having difficulties. Here is what you might want to try.
- Once you find the weekly Meal Plan of interest, select "Add this Meal Plan to My Meal Plans". You’ll find a bottom for this at the bottom of the Meal Plan. If you are not already signed in, you will be required to do so at this point.
- Next you will come to the "My Meal Plans" page. It should automatically enter the name of the meal plan you selected in the "New Meal Plan Name" field. Then you simply click "Create New Plan."
- You’ll then be taken to your saved Meal Plans where the plan is listed. From here you will have to add each day for the meal plan separately to your Grocery list.
- To add a days worth of ingredients to your grocery list, select the "Add Items To Grocery List" from the menu to the right. The ingredients for that meal will be listed and you’ll then be asked to select the ingredients from the meal plan you wish to add. After selecting these ingredients, select "Add to my list" by clicking the icon at the bottom of the page.
- When you are done, you can view your grocery list by selecting "Grocery Lists" from the main menu located at the left side navigation.
What do I do if I am having problems saving items to my grocery list?
Every time that you add items to your grocery list, it is necessary to save those items before you close out the program. At the bottom of the grocery list page there is an "Add to My List" button. You must click this button before you sign out, or else those items will not be saved for later use.
How do I remove recipes from My Recipe Box?
In order to remove recipes from your "Recipe Box", you must first click on "Recipe Box" which is located under the welcome, on the left hand side of the navigation. Once you have entered your "Recipe Box", a delete heading can be found on the right hand side of the screen. Please click on "recipe from box". Then check the box of the recipe that you would like to be removed. Once you have done this click the remove recipe button. This should eliminate the recipe that you no longer want in your "Recipe Box".
What do I do if I am experiencing problems when I try to print a recipe, meal plan, or grocery list?
If you are having a problem printing it may be caused by any pop-up blocking software that you have on your computer. Printing features usually open up a new window which is often times viewed by the software as spam and therefore blocked.
Copy and paste any recipe, meal plans, or grocery lists you would like, directly into Microsoft Word or Notepad. You should be able to print from either Word or your Notepad.
