Adding Meals and Recipes to your Planner
You can easily add meals and recipes to your planner by using either copy and
paste, or drag and drop. You can add recipes to a day, or to meals within a day.

To add a meal to a planner day, either select a day and choose a meal from the
Mealplan > Add, or drag and drop a meal from the meals drawer to the desired
day.

The meals drawer displays the list of available meals available for the planner,
and it also lets you add and delete meals. The built-in meals cannot be deleted
or changed, but additional meals can be added. To add a meal just press the
“+” button at the bottom of the drawer. To delete a meal select a meal and
choose the “-” button.

The default times (the times used whenever you create an instance of a meal in
the planner) for meals can be set in the meals drawer by clicking on the clock
icon and choosing a time. Times are used primarily when you send your data to
iCal. When your planner is synced, meals that have times will be placed at those
times in your calendar. Recipes that aren’t part of meals will be placed at noon.

L

TIP: When you delete a meal from the meals drawer, it
will be removed permanently and any recipes that are
in these meals in the planner will be removed from the
meal and then added directly to the days that included
the meals.

Adding recipes to your planner is simple: copy one or more recipes from any
MacGourmet Deluxe recipe box list and select a meal or day, and then choose
Edit > Paste, or just drag and drop one or more recipes from a recipe box list to
a meal or day in your planner.

Once in your planner, meals and recipes can ordered however desired, just drag
and drop the items from one place in the planner to another. Recipes can be
moved from one meal to another or from one day to another in the same way.
