Favorite Foods
As you are planning menus, you may find that you use the same foods over and over. It would take a considerable amount of time to search for a food item each time you want to include it in a menu. That’s where favorite foods comes in. If a food item is designated as a favorite, it will appear in the drop-down menu when planning menus.
To add or remove items from your favorite foods list:
- Click on “Menu” from the main dashboard.
- Click on “Favorite Foods” in the upper-left corner.
This screen is split into two sections with the top list for “Foods for Participants Other than Infants < 12 months” and the bottom list for “Foods for Infants < 12 months”.
- Check the box next to food items that you want as favorites.
- Uncheck the box next to any food items that you want to remove as favorites.
- Click “Save”.
Food items marked as "Favorites" show up on the dropdown list when planning your menu:
To copy favorite foods from one site to another:
- Once you have all the favorites selected and saved, scroll to the bottom of the screen and select the site from the dropdown menu.
- Click the green “Copy favorite foods” button.
