Can I delete all my recipes at once?
I hate to say it, but the recipe tab is worthless without a search option. I now have 4 pages of recipes that I've added and I want to just delete them all. I don't see where you can check the box and then click "delete" like you can on your normal food list. Is there an easier way to delete them all? Thank you.
