Plans

Recipes can be connected to multiple day plans. If your grandmother’s pie recipe is really as good as claimed, you can reuse it on day 1 and 15 of the program, you could make the title Day 1 & 15, making sure to connect this meal plan to day 1 and 15.
Shopping list
Connect the shopping list that applies to the meal plan. The shopping list should exist before you are able to connect it. If you haven’t created it yet, you can come back later once that’s done. See the section about shopping lists for important advice about shopping lists.
To connect a shopping list, search for it by typing the shopping list title into the field provided, matching shopping lists will start to show in a drop-down style selector.
