Search Tips
- The lookup widget can search for recipes by ingredient. Simply separate each ingredient with a comma to see a list of meal ideas based on what you already have at home.
- Results from sites marked with this symbol
are opened in a new browser tab, but most results appear right here in the widget. - Some sites, like "Dictionary/Thesaurus" have additional search options.
- You can maximize the widget and collapse an individual group of results.
- Click on a result to visit the originating site.
