Recipe help?
Is there an easier way to find your recipes on mfp? I have 26 pages of recipes, and it doesn't seem to let me sort them alphabetically anymore so I am having a hard time finding what I want. the app seemed like it might be a little easier, but for some reason only a small amount of my recipes are showing there.
