Welcome > Week Three, Lesson One
This week’s focus is to help you understand all the meal-planning tools at your fingertips!
The Plan tab is an online meal planning calendar to customize your meal plans to your family’s dietary needs, schedule, and budget. The Planner has incredible flexibility since you can create and adjust your meal plan to whatever is happening in your life.
Today, you’ll learn how to scale recipes already on your Planner and how to use the Cooking View.
Scale Recipes on the Planner
You can update the serving sizes of recipes already on your planning calendar. Updating the serving size for a recipe on your Planner will only update the ingredient quantities on your shopping list for that specific instance. This is helpful if you are having guests over, want to schedule leftovers, or your kids are away from the house for dinner.
The Cooking View
Use the Cooking View to see an overview or step-by-step version of your recipe. This is great for propping up your phone or tablet in the kitchen to easily view recipes while cooking!
In the App, the screen will stay awake while in the Cooking View of a recipe, to help you cook and view recipes without your screen going dark. You can also cook multiple recipes at once by toggling between recipes planned at the same meal time from the Cooking View.
