Sharing recipes?

The easiest way my boyfriend and I have found is by him going into my diary, and copying the meal into his diary which has the recipe I created in it.

I'm sure there has to be a better way, which would let someone actually have the recipe saved under their recipes, but I don't know how to do it.

Someone else might.

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.
