Add Recipes to Recipes
Greetings, I would like to have the option to add existing recipes to new recipes. For example, when we have homemade meatloaf, I use the leftover meatloaf in a sandwich later in the week; so I'd like to add a measured amount of the meatloaf recipe I already have as an ingredient in my meatloaf sandwich recipe. Cheers
Create recipe from my foods
Currently the only way to add ingredients to a recipe is adding through the web or bulk. I’d like to see an option somewhere that allows me to use food items that I’ve created (in the My meals, recipes, and food section). This will save me time when creating my recipes as I won’t have to look through a long list of search…

Good morning, I just joined one of the MFP Plans for high protein and it suggests recipes for me to make, but the Print option doesn't work.
