Hello Everyone!
I’m slowly starting to get a hang of using the app, and have even been creating some recipes! I can input the ingredients, but I noticed there’s nowhere to enter in a cooking method? Has anyone figured out how to enter a method? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I believe you can write notes to yourself

    Have never done it myself though.

    Or you could incorporate it into the name of the recipe eg 'savoury chicken, baked.'

    I am new too this MFP... I have figured out how to add my own recipes for hubby and I, but how do I figure out the serving sizes for each recipe?

    I don’t know a good way to add instructions, but I add a little to the title, such as “Roasted Vegetables, 400 degrees 30 minutes””

    As for serving size, there are many ways to look at it. How many servings is your recipe actually?
    Or put in 1 serving for the entire recipe, if you eat 1/4 of the entire recipe, log 1/4 serving.
    Or weigh the empty serving dish, after the recipe is complete, weigh the serving dish full of he recipe, the difference is the amount of food. Enter he number of grams as servings. Such as 314 grams = 314 servings. Then weigh how much you eat. If you eat 57 grams, then log 57 servings.
