Ingredient-based Recipe Search

sultryvagabond

I work full time and have a family that is on a budget. This means that I am often forced to plan meals according to reusable ingredients in order to cut costs and minimize prep/cook time. Because of that, I often have recipes that operate either with leftovers from a previous meal, of, “the other half,” of a particular ingredient.

I would love to see a feature that allowed for searching by ingredient to get a list of recipes with that ingredient used in them. This would allow for more effective meal planning, which would increase the efficacy of the app overall.

I love that idea! I can definitely see how helpful that would be.

Please know I've passed along your suggestion to our team.

That's a good idea. Also in the search engines you can put in the time limit saying you want a quick meal and give cooking time limit like 5, 10, 15 all the way up to like 1 hour cooking time in it maybe.

I too love this idea.

This has been one of the things that I miss from the Weight Watchers app, where you could search for a recipe using foods that you have on hand. Would love to see this ability added to MFP!!!
