You are confusing two things being Off the Grid and Living simple.
The recipes are all because of living simple.
1. There are no chilis so you can not make Chilies meat or veg, You can get spicy mushrooms and make something similar.
2. In all these cases you lack either Eggs, Flour or Sugar I recommend that you hover over the recipe to see a list of required ingredients.
3. If you only have one of an ingredient you can only make one serving.
4. See 2.
No power of the grid comes from not having a stove or fridge that is marked as working of the grid.
I hope this clears it up for you. Perhaps you should choose only one of these challenges at a time until you have learned more about them.
I was not "confusing" the two. My sims are using both Off the Grid and Simply Living Lot challenges. Not one or the other. I understand the requirements of both but the fact remains that there are recipes that if I have all the ingredients for I should be able to cook them off the grid and I cannot. I am very familiar with both challenges requirements as I have used Off the grid as a lot trait many times before. As for the servings you are mistaken. I have plenty of ingredients and yet for the some of the recipes I can do I still am only given a single serving cooking option. I hope this clears things up for you on my position. And there are chilis btw. Those are recipes in the sims.
