Recipe Box feature
Hi, I am new to CM, but I would love to see a recipe box feature for recipes that I have saved from the app. Currently, they are clogging up my favorites and ‘My Foods’ lists. I would like the recipe box to be categorized like the recipe search feature (main dish, desserts, etc. This would be such a time saver to be able to go through the available recipes, save the ones I want to try into my recipe box, by category. Also, is there a way to save Pinterest pinned items as well?Overall I think this is a wonderful app, this would just make it even better.

Kona71,
to save a Pinterest recipe (or recipe from any website), first open the Pinterest entry and double click up on the url box to bring up the specific location of the recipe you want to import to CM. Once it’s displayed, double click on the url to open the ‘select all’ option - then copy it.
Now, open CM and go to the ‘Foods’ tab. Look over to the right until you find ‘Recipes and Meal Plans’. Click that and another row of options will open just below. Again, look to the right for ‘Import Recipe’. Select that and a box labeled ‘Import Recipe’ will open.
Click the URL line and you’ll be able to paste your entry there (it also works from other websites).
Click ‘Submit’ and CM will process the entry and open a recipe page just like you were opening a standard CM recipe. You can choose to save it to your recipes by clicking the three dots to the upper right.
hope this helps. I’ve noted that a LOT of the recipes out on Pinterest aren’t really that keto - don’t be surprised if what looks good on Pinterest grades out as a ‘C’ or worse.
again, hope this helps.
