Recipe Builder- Anyone else having problems?

ElizabethOakes2

Arg! Recipe Builder seems to be down? I entered all the ingredients I put in my stew, pressed save and got a 'something went wrong' message. Fine, I opened the old recipe builder (You know, the one that actually WORKS instead of finding six ingredients that might 'match your ingredient' that have nothing to do with what you entered), entered all of my ingredients, and when I went to save got a different error message.
Fine. Went back to the new Recipe Builder, tried again, and it won't even let me open it.

Any suggestions? There's like 20 ingredients in this stupid pot of bubbling healthy crap and short of entering every ingredient individually into my Meal (divided by 12) I'm not really sure what to do here.

The bold made me giggle and startle the cat.

The recipe builder has been being atrocious (even more so) of late.

Glad I could make you laugh! Sorry I startled the cat, though.

I have named my 6th Meal slot "Recipe Importer Testing." I now build a draft Recipe in that Meal slot; print it out for reference; click Quick Tools > Remember Meal, noting the total weight, number of servings, serving size weight, and Calories per serving in the Meal Name. I then zero out those ingredients and add just one serving to the day. Then when the Recipe function starts working again, I create and save the permanent Recipe. Thanks MFP for making this three times the amount of work!

Ooh! Thank you! That's smart! I'll do that in the future.

I don't get an error message. I put in mushrooms and garlic and it calls them apples and cinnamon....OR it gives my ingredients 5000 calories?!?! What is going on

Not sure if this still works, but I used to click on the right where it said something like:
Use old recipe builder.
Worked like charm all the times the new builder has been down.
