First, do as Rosebud described to create your recipe. Then, to add each ingredient, you must do a search. There's a little search box right below where you will see your ingredients listed after you add them. When the results show up from your search, you click on the one you want to add, then click on Add Ingredient. That will add the
counts for each ingredient, so you get something other than just zeros, but it will not list it in the box where you write in your directions.
The way I do it is to start the recipe by listing the serving size, number of servings, and the name of the recipe. Then I click on Create Recipe. Next, I type all the ingredients into the recipe box, along with the directions, just as I would if I were typing it out on a piece of paper. Then I click on Update Recipe Instructions.
After that, I search for each ingredient, using the little search box, select the item I want, and click on Add Ingredient. As you add each ingredient, it will be listed
below your recipe. If you are adding a food that is already in your favorites list, you can just click on it there, bypassing the search.
Once you have searched for all your ingredients and added them one by one, you're done. Go back to the Daily Entry page, and you will find your recipe in your usual list of food choices there. (You might have to refresh the page first.)
Don't feel bad. I had a horrible time before I finally figured this out. I probably
never would have figured it out if it hadn't been for Tamarian guiding me through it step-by-step!
HTH!
