Go up to the blue tool bar on your screen under the MFP logo. click food then click recipes. Then if you want you can enter ingredients manually and MFP will find them and give you cal counts and nutritional info for each. Then you just add a title in the title box and MFP stores each of your recipes right there. You can then go back to "recipes" and instantly log any one to any meal. I love this feature on MFP and use it all the time.

To input a recipe go to the Food section of your home page then go to the recipe section. If you are in-putting a recipe you found online you can type in the URL in the recipe importer and click Import Recipe. If it finds it then the ingredients will pull up in a list. Click Match Ingredients. It will automatically match ingredients if they are in the MFP database. If not then you can do a search and find the closest ingredient. Once all ingredients are matched click Save or Save & Log It. You can also enter a recipe manually by just searching and adding each ingredient. Here is my go to salad dressing. In a small jar add 1/4 cup vinegar (your choice I use red wine vinegar), 1/8 cup oil (your choice I use canola or olive), 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, a squeeze of lemon, lime, or orange juice, salt, and pepper. Cover the jar and give it a good shake until thoroughly mixed. One tablespoon equals 42 calories and 5 grams of fat.
