Duplicate & Reorder Items in Pre-made Meal Plans

  1. In some instances, you may want to duplicate a recipe to remind yourself to use leftovers for another dish or to buy more of a certain ingredient. In this case, we’re crazy for Roasted Brussels Sprouts and want to make extra to add to the Brussels Sprouts Mac and Cheese.
  2. To duplicate a recipe, click the three dots icons on the recipe card and select “Duplicate Item.”
  3. To reorder, click and hold on the two horizontal bars icon on the left of the recipe card, then drag the item to a new day or group.
