Hi all, I'm Melissa. I started MFP 3 weeks ago and have lost 5 lbs. YAY I have figured out the site well on my own. However, I'm curious...is there a database here to pull recipes off of? I'm always looking for new, healthy recipes and if I could find some that you guys have posted, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Melissa! Congratulations on the weight loss.
    Go to the Food category. There will be a subcategory that says recipes. Under this you can put in your own recipes or check out recipes.
    Good luck!

    Ok I found where I can enter my recipes but I can't find other people's recipes. I can get nutritional facts for example chicken Parmesan but not the actual recipe. :ohwell: Am I missing something?

    Hi, although I've not found much on this site you could always try " All recipes ". I get most of mine from here.. Happy hunting and enjoy your MFP journey...Paul

    Thank Paul. I have tried them before just by googling and accidentally coming across their website.
