How your grocery list is built

Updated 2026-09-02

The Grocery tab holds one shared list for the household. Items get there three ways:

  1. From a recipe — on a recipe, add its ingredients to Grocery (with a servings choice).
  2. From a meal-plan week — the cart button on the Meal Plan; see Adding a planned week to your grocery list.
  3. By hand — the + in the Grocery toolbar for one-off items.

As items come in, ReciLore combines the same ingredient from different recipes into a single line — see Combining ingredients.

A Recipes strip at the top shows which recipes are contributing to the current list.

Questions this answers

  • Where do grocery items come from?
  • How do I add ingredients from a recipe?
  • Can I add items manually?
