How do I add a recipe to the meal planning calendar?

  1. Navigate to the Meal Plan tab, select Calendar at the top, choose a date, then tap the + button.

  2. You can add recipes using the search field at the top of the screen. Search results will appear as you type, organized into Notes, existing Meal Plan Entries, and Recipes from your collections.

    You can also use the buttons in the Browse section or next to any recipes you’ve added to the Pinned Entries and Queue.

  3. To add a recipe from Pinned Entries or the Queue, simply tap its name.

    If you prefer to view the recipe before adding it to your Meal Plan and add details or a meal plan label, tap the pencil icon to its right.

    Once you’ve finished, tap the blue Add to Calendar button at the bottom of the recipe view.

You can also add a recipe to the Meal Planning Calendar directly from the recipe details screen. While viewing a recipe, tap the Actions (•••) button and choose Add to Calendar.
