Include Directions on Recipes

I've done a search for "Directions Recipe" and posted in each of the comment threads that came up... about 10 if I counted correctly. Not a single one was posted on the Improvement Idea Category section... so here it is MFP.
You've already got programming in place in the App and website to include directions on "Meals"... being an old programmer myself, I know to can "Copy & Paste" the lines of code with minimal modification and time, while providing a better use of the code.
Reprogram the App and Website with the ability to add "directions" to "Recipes" as is already capable on "Meals".
This would make a good App a GREAT App.

Thanks for this suggestion! Currently, there is not a way to include instructions when creating a recipe, but our team is definitely considering adding this option as a future possibility.0
