BigOven

I guess I would want to use this program to plan meals and shopping rather than just to organize recipes.  Is it possible to just add 1 cup of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds and .75 cup 1% milk to a meal?

Hi there,

Thanks for looking into BigOven.  A couple comments:

• You can add anything you'd like to the Shopping List, simply by typing it in.  (You're not limited to the dropdown list.)
• On the meal calendar, you can add anything you'd like to the "Notes" field for a given day. 
• You cannot however add individual items to the meals (breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner) unless they are in a recipe
• Some people choose to create one or more "placeholder recipes", that simply have common side ingredients for this purpose as a workaround.  We realize this isn't ideal and we're working on ways to make this easier in a future release.

Thanks!
