QuickBites
QuickBites are grocery bundles — a name plus a flat ingredient list — for the things that aren’t full recipes. Snacks, breakfast staples, pantry restocks, meal-prep items.
Add a QuickBite
On your recipes page, each category ends with a Quick Bites zone. Tap the dashed ＋ New QuickBite tile in the category you want, fill in the dialog, then save.
- Name — what shows on the tile.
- Category — where the QuickBite lives. Pick a different one to move it to another category.
- Ingredients — one per row. Tap + Add ingredient for another row; reorder or remove a row with its controls. Leave this empty and the item’s own name goes on the grocery list.
Within a category, QuickBites are listed in alphabetical order.
Edit or delete a QuickBite
Each tile shows its name and ingredients. Tap the pencil to reopen the dialog with that item loaded. Change the name, ingredients, or category, then save. Tap Delete to remove it — you confirm first.
Renaming from a tile keeps the QuickBite’s place on the menu, because the pencil edits the item in place.
How they appear on the Menu
Add a QuickBite to the menu from your recipes — each tile in the Quick Bites zone carries its own add-to-menu control. On the Menu page it then appears as its own row within that category, after the recipes.
Each QuickBite row on the Menu gets the same Made it cross-off as a recipe — tick it and the row stays in place, struck through. Recipe rows also show an availability check; QuickBites don’t.
Adding a QuickBite to the menu flows its ingredients into Groceries and Pantry the same way a recipe’s ingredients do. Crossing it off drops them again.
Crossing off a QuickBite doesn’t feed the Dinner picker’s recency weighting — that signal comes from recipes only.
Edit all QuickBites as text
Tap Edit QuickBites at the top of your recipes — it sits with the edit categories and edit tags controls. It opens a plaintext editor for your whole QuickBites list at once.
Saving here replaces the entire list, then re-attaches your menu picks by name. So a QuickBite you rename in this editor drops off the menu — add it back after saving, or rename from its tile instead, which keeps the pick. Reordering and editing ingredients are safe.
The plaintext format
QuickBites are grouped under a category heading. Each line is an entry:
## Snacks
- Apples and Honey: Apples, Honey
- Crackers and Cheese: Ritz crackers, Cheddar
## Breakfast
- Cereal and Milk: Rolled oats, Milk
- Toast and Butter: Bread, Butter
The shape is - Title: Ingredient, Ingredient, .... For a single-ingredient bundle, drop the colon — the title doubles as the ingredient:
## Produce
- Bananas
This is not the recipe markdown format — there are no steps, sections, or front matter. QuickBites are intentionally one-line.
