Instructions
- You may access this recipe collection page directly through the menus currently under the recipe section of the menu but after September 1, 2019 that link will move to the Recipe Index page and NOT BE IN THE MENU.
- The number of recipes you have in each collection at the end.
- Click on "Edit Collections" to add a new collection or rename existing collections, or delete collections you don't need anymore. Think if it as a file drawer for recipes, it can have zero or a hundred recipes. You can move new recipes in or take them out.
- When you see two lines on the left of a recipe or a collection, that is where you grab it to move it around. (The Handle) You can change the order of things or move a recipe onto a collection.
- Once you've added more collections, you'll be able to drag them around on this initial page using the handle on the left.
- When you click “Add to Saved Recipes” in the recipe card on any recipe, it will add to the inbox.
- Then from this page, choose or create a collection, and you can move the recipe using the “handle” to drag the recipe into the collection.
- The recipes may be in as many collections as you want. It will stay in your inbox until you delete it there. But deleting it in the inbox does not delete it in your collections.
- Use Columns and Groups to further organize the recipes within your collections.
- Remember that a small amount of data is stored in your browser. So, if you delete your browser data, you will delete your Saved Recipe Collections.

Can’t figure out how to move a recipe from saved recipes to a collection. I added all collection “folders” that I wanted. Now I can’t figure out how to get the recipe out of saved recipes to the appropriate collection. I did read the directions but I must be missing something.

Hi Jan.
Click on the name of the collection you are adding it to. There should be a display of what is in that collection and an option to add from the inbox.

Hi Dan. Unfortunately I did none of those things. I always use my iPhone and haven’t changed anything unless one of their automatic updates somehow changed it. I’m so disappointed. I had so many good recipes saved.

Hi Sheree,
I find iPhone updates unpredictable so probable correct. It makes you want to not do that again. I guess just bookmarking might be safer.

Dan I don’t know what happened but all but 3 of my saved recipes disappeared!!! Is there a way to get them back???
Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan
Hi Sheree,
Sorry but I have nothing for you. The entire file for this is saved on your hard drive. That makes it secure for you and me both. But also means I have no data on it. If you have cleared the cache or files on your hard drive, or had a hard drive issue of any type, that may be the cause.
Also, it will be browser specific, so if you changed to a different browser or computer. It does not transfer.

Dr Dan,
I was lucky enough to find your site the first try. I will be making your Pork butt for the crock pot on Saturday . I can’t wsit! In fact I may even go ahead and make it Friday night because I’m so anxious to try it out (and it’s making me so hungry now) ! My son is coming on Saturday to help me do a few things around here and I want to have time to help him do this will help give me some time. Yea! I will post again and let you know how it turns out!
Thanks again so very much! I’m using your rub minus the liquid smoke! It made me sick once and I can’t stand the smell of it any more!

This new addition is a wonderful idea. I love being organized with my recipes. Thanks to you and all the people who made this "Saved Recipe Collections" possible!
