I have the nutrition counts for the entire recipe but was unable to find nutrition for 4 ounce lean, cubed beef steak so I could list the ingredient. Couldn’t even find it on the internet.

There are a couple of options. There first is to click the "Search Shared Foods" button in the Options at the bottom of the results box when adding a food/ingredient. Someone else may already have added; just be sure to check the nutritional value before using it.

The second option, if it's still not found, is to enter your own item. Right above the Search box is the red link for "Enter a Food not Listed."

Let me know if these options don't work. Looking forward to seeing the recipe.

How do you share a recipe if you cannot find the nutrition for an ingredient that is not listed in the Spark database? I tried to add a recipe to the cookbook.

Hi I just joined today, and have been reading other members messages. I so far has given me great ideas for cooking for 2. I have looked in the cookbook and can't wait to try some of the recipes. Thanks

According to SP, a recipe becomes Private when "If a member unshares their recipe OR if we have unshared it due to copyright issues, then it will show as private in your cookbook."

Please, please make sure if you submit recipes to the team cookbook,that you are able to share. If it's from a cookbook, odds are you don't have the right to share. If it's from a magazine or website, it's probably okay, unless the website specifically protects the copyright (and most pay to use sites probably would).

Thanks.

Actually, I think it's because I'm the owner of the cookbook and the link was edit mode. I'll be more careful in the future.

How very strange. I just copied and pasted the link you put below and it worked for me. The only other option I see is to Browse cookbooks, which could take a day and forever to find.

recipes.sparkpeople.com/CookbookEdit.asp?i
d=42011

I've re-entered the URL as a link. I'm also using Firefox for my browser rather than IE. I know there are some compatibly issues with IE 8 and websites, but I'm not sure if that's the case with SP.

Also, please note, there is no www in this link, so if you're browser tries to put it there, remove it.

Let me know if you still have problems.

The link to the cookbook isn't working for me either. I get a message:
An error has occured
The cookbook you requested is not available.

Please press the back button on your browser to re-enter the information.
when I go to this link: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/CookbookEdit.asp?id=42011

Is there another way to navigate to the cookbook?

I joined a farm!! I'm now getting a box of fresh, organic veggies every week. That means I'll be experimenting lots with different veggies.

I made this recipe to use the sunchokes and summer squash. If you're not veg, simply substitute real chicken for the Quorn cutlets.

Strawberry-Pineapple-Banana Dessert

One 20-oz. can of pineapple tidbits in juice, undrained
a banana or two (to your liking)
1/2 pint of strawberries
sweetener (if needed, not always--depends on the strawberries' sweetness)

Combine tidbits, their juice, sliced bananas and hulled and sliced strawberries in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Let sit about an hour (I usually put it in the fridge) to let flavors incorporate. Check for desired sweetness, adding a little sweetener if too tart.

Enjoy!

Eggplant and Tomato Gratin
Recipe is here: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=534753

This is now my most favorite recipe for veggies! I layer everything! If i don't have an eggplant i use whatever. I've done it with a head of cauliflower, this last time i used fresh asparagas as the base. I've added mushroom and onion circles... Just about anything can layer i tell you!

I can suggest the mushrooms should be cooked first - they let out alot of water, but you can always drain it, but that's where the garlic goodness ends up...

But anyway... give it a try - it's really good! Hope you like it as much as i do!

Took a couple of cooking light recipes, changed out some ingredients and whala - Chicken Pesto Spirals!

Using pumpkin seeds and cilantro and no olive oil keeps it low in calories! Enjoy

Also, I've got a cookbook for small batch backing and she recommends using medium eggs. Might be you could use 1 medium rather than 1/2 a large. The author says small would work better, but they are hard to find these days.
