“Normal” Vegan Recipes
Okay not even trying to be ugly or condescending about this, but vegan recipes scare me. I’m not the most adventurous eater and a lot of the recipes have ingredients that I have no idea what they are/where to get them.

Air Fryer
I recently purchased an air fryer. If you haven't tried using this for various frozen meals, you need to consider all you can do. Instead of microwaving things and your chicken looking pale, the air fryer does give a nice "crust" and browns the meat. No oil was necessary! You could probably spray some non-caloric sprays…

Sodium content in recipes
I am finding that the calculation of sodium per serving in many of my recipes is miscalculated. I cut down much of the salt used and yet it seems to cause my intake to be way over. Has anyone else found this.

Hi. My name is Amymoreorless and I am a chocoholic. It has been 30 minutes since I last had a chocolate binge....

MFP blog lacking user recipe reviews?
MFP features a lot of online recipes, but where are the reviews from members who have made these dishes? Star ratings are not helpful. As someone who cooks, I've found online recipes to be hit or miss at best. Many times users have found mistakes and suggested helpful modifications. In this regard, MFP might want to model…
