📊 Track an NHA recipe in Cronometer (optional)

🙌 You don’t need Cronometer or any account to use these recipes, videos or grocery lists. If you already use it, here’s what works today (checked on Cronometer’s help pages, October 16, 2026):

  1. 🆓 Free account: on the web open Foods → Custom Recipes → + Add Recipe; on the phone, Foods → Create Recipe.
  2. 🧺 Enter each ingredient for the whole recipe using the amounts on NHA’s page (our 🛒 grocery list shows them in one place).
  3. 🍽️ Choose servings, type how many the recipe makes (for example, Beefless Stew serves 6 to 8), then log one serving.
  4. ⭐ Gold (paid): Cronometer’s importer can read a recipe page from its link. We haven’t tested it on NHA pages, so check what it fills in.

⚠️ Our websites don’t sync with Cronometer, and Cronometer offers no public tool for websites to send recipes. Sharing recipes with friends is a Gold feature.

🧮 About nutrition numbers

We haven’t calculated nutrition for NHA recipes yet. When we do, each number will come from USDA FoodData Central using the recipe’s own amounts and yield, with every ingredient’s USDA record listed. Until then we show no numbers rather than guesses.

ℹ️ Independent resource

Kitchen Monk™ and Flourishing Nursing™ are independent: not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the National Health Association (NHA) or the chefs named here, and we earn nothing from these links. Each recipe belongs to its creator and the NHA; we link to the original instead of copying it. List checked against NHA’s public pages on October 16, 2026. Corrections: rfjeep@gmail.com.

🩺 General education, not medical advice. Ask your clinician before big diet changes, especially if you take medicines or have kidney disease (some recipes use salt substitutes, which often contain potassium).
