Recently we added a Grocery Lists for Blogs feature, that bloggers could use to add organized grocery lists with nutritional estimates to recipes on any blog or website. Now for bloggers on WordPress, our new WordPress Recipes to Grocery Lists plugin makes it as simple as clicking a button to add a grocery list link or image anywhere in the recipe. When a reader clicks to view the grocery list, it will open up a new window on the Say Mmm website, where our technology will automatically create an organized grocery list that people can edit, combine with other lists, and print out. Here is how it works.
When the plugin is installed it adds a “M” icon next to the other “Upload / Insert” icons at the top of the text editor box.
1. Clicking the M icon lets you select a Grocery List link or image
2. The link or image will be added to the post at any place
3.Publishing the post activates the grocery list link
4. Clicking on the image or link it will automatically create a grocery list with nutritional estimates.
5. There is also a clean print view, and you can edit or add to the list
The Main Features include:
- Organized grocery lists – Say Mmm will use the ingredients on the recipe post to create a grocery list that is organized by area of the store with common pantry items like “salt” separated out at the bottom. It will also change things you use to cook, like “1 cup of shredded carrots” into items you’d buy in the store, like 2 carrots.
- Nutritional estimates – Based on the amounts and items found, readers can view a nutritional estimate and see a graphical breakout of the top things that affect nutritional values like calories, fat, and cholesterol. If there servings listed for the recipe, it will show the estimates per serving.
- Combining lists – Readers can even combine lists from multiple recipes into one organized list and even add, edit, and delete items, all without even needing a Say Mmm account.
