Instead of having a list that prints out the ingredients by day and meal, I wish we had a list that would print out the correct quantities of items needed by type, so under a category called Fruits it would read: 4 over ripe bananas, 4 garlic cloves and another category called Spices it would read: curry powder, etc.. and that for just a few days at once. I've been shopping twice now and am still missing things.

I imagine that there are so many things to do it is hard to know where to start without setting priorities, and I assume PCRM has done the best they can, but it would be a good idea. Database experts could set it up so you could print by day, by week, by food type, and even any change in recipes would be automatically absorbed into the power of having it set up that way. Here's hoping it can be done. - madeline madeline yakimchuk Director: MEET IRENE - An Unlikely Vegan GRYPHON media productions www

Susan Levin Joined: 12/26/09 Posts: 1212	RE: Shopping List Posted Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 2:01 PM We tried it that way at first. But we received complaints that it was then impossible to know what NOT to buy if you didn't want to make every recipe. Since most people do not make every recipe, we decided on the segregation approach, where people can pick and choose what recipes interest them most and then do their own addition. I understand both perspectives! Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

I solved it by just making up my own shopping list the next time around. I had all this fresh in the house and was confusing both myself and my husband! I also found that for a family of only two, I did not need all those ingredients so that was another good reason to make my own list based on how much of each recipe I was going to make (make whole recipe and freeze or use for leftovers or just make enough for one meal)
