Sharing recipes with friends via MFP?

fuzzy_monster · March 2015

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if there's a way to share recipes that you have saved in MFP with other members?

Basically, both my husband and I are both trying to lose weight and we frequently have the same home cooked meal for dinner. It would be a lot easier if I could share the recipes which I have already uploaded on my account for him to log rather than having to send him the link and making him re-enter a recipe I've already entered.

If anyone knows of a way to do this, I would really appreciate it if you'd share the knowledge!

Thank you!

You can not share recipes directly with another user, and another user will not find your recipes through a search. Your recipes will be displayed in the search results only when you perform a search.

There is a work around.
User1 creates a Recipe and logs it to a Meal.
User2 opens User1's Diary (shared with public, friends only, or locked with a key)
User2 clicks Quick Tools and copies User1's Meal to his/her Diary.
