CHEERS!

 i love the potential to change the yield. the problem i had with the ingredient thingamabob was that there weren't enought little box guys for all of my ingredients, how did you fix that and get them all in there???

Oh the joy of my soul, it is uncaged.

submit

when I was testing it, I found that hitting submit, and possibly preview would bring up a second batch of boxes..

kind of a pain for large recipes, but the yield calculator makes it worth it.. its such a cool feature..

updated

I inputed the ingredients into the calculator part of it.. that way when someone changes the yield, it will update how much of each ingredient is needed (WICKED COOL!).   It will only display so many boxes, until you hit submit or preview, then more will display.
