There are a lot of great recipes online, and the unique pictures, stories, and comments connected with them give each recipe and blog its own style and flavor. It’s fun to discover new food ideas and try out new recipes. What’s less fun is going grocery shopping for the things you need and making sure you don’t forget anything. Wouldn’t it be nice if that new recipe you wanted to try had an organized grocery list that you could just click and print out?
Translating a recipe into a shopping list can take a little work. First, the ingredient information that you need when cooking is different from what you need to buy in the store. For example, a recipe may say “2 cups of carrots, thinly sliced,” when what you need to know in the store is just how many carrots to buy. Also, there are usually a number of pantry items or spices that people usually have and just need to check at home, rather than putting them into the shopping list. Another thing is if there is an ingredient you don’t normally use in a recipe, you may need to look for where to find it in the store. And finally, once you figure out all the ingredients you need, you then have to write them out on a list and combine them with other things you need to get.
With Say Mmm published grocery lists, now bloggers can help their readers out with printable, dynamic grocery lists for any online recipe. The blogger can define the items needed as they like and make it simple for readers to just click to view and print out an organized shopping list for one or more recipes. Grocery items can be organized by area in the store, and common pantry items can be grouped separately to save people time. The grocery lists are also individually customizable, and items can be added and removed based on what the person needs before printing.

This service is free for blog readers, and users don’t need to have a Say Mmm account to create, modify, and print these published lists. The ability for bloggers to create these lists for their blogs is also free, and bloggers just need to have a Say Mmm account to manage the grocery lists for their recipes and to get the code they need.
