I found that the computer has to know specifically the amounts of what the ingredients are or it just won't continue. For instance< I submitted Yam fries. the recipe I had called for 3 yams. It wouldn't accept that. I finally figured out I had to give it a weight, like 1 lb of yams. I think it has to do with how the computer figures out the nutritional content and calories. Another recipe I submitted that is up for approval right now is Green tea truffles. You need 4 tea bags but I couldn't just say that. It kept asking me to define ounces, grams etc so I just picked grams and then in the Method explained what to do with the 4 tea bags. Try it and see what happens.
