RECIPE & NUTRITIONAL DISCLAIMER

The recipes and information on this blog are provided for general informational, educational, and/or entertainment purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we are not certified nutritionists, dietitians, or medical professionals.

Please Note:

• Nutritional information provided is an estimate based on available data and may vary based on ingredients, brands, and preparation methods
• Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making dietary changes, especially if you have food allergies, medical conditions, or specific nutritional needs
• We cannot guarantee that a recipe will work for your specific dietary restrictions
• Cross-contamination is possible when preparing recipes, particularly with common allergens
• Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on your equipment and elevation

Food Safety: Please follow proper food safety guidelines when preparing and storing food. When in doubt, throw it out.

Allergy Warning: Recipes may contain common allergens. It is your responsibility to check ingredients carefully if you have food allergies or sensitivities.

Also note:

• We cannot guarantee the outcome of any recipe on our site; we use best practices and due diligence in the course of creating, testing, writing, editing, processing, and/or publishing food-related content.
• We are not responsible for the nutrition, ingredients, instructions, or outcomes of recipes hosted on other sites, owned by other bloggers or recipe developers, that we share in our themed lists. Please contact the recipe owner for questions or concerns regarding their content.

AI TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT

Our Use of AI Technology

We believe in transparency with our readers. We occasionally use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help us create and enhance content on this blog.

How We Use AI:

• Recipe Development Support: AI may help us brainstorm recipe variations, suggest ingredient substitutions, or generate initial recipe ideas that we then test and refine in our own kitchen
• Writing Assistance: We may use AI to help draft, edit, or improve the clarity of our blog posts and recipe descriptions
• Photo Enhancement: AI tools may be used to edit or enhance food photography; occasionally we will conjure simple images of foods using the tested ingredients in our recipes, usually when we are eager to publish but our photography is not optimal
• Reader Experience: AI may help us organize content, improve site search, or personalize recipe recommendations

What We Don’t Do:

• We never publish AI-generated recipes without thoroughly testing them in our own kitchen
• All recipes are personally prepared, tasted, and verified by us before publication
• We maintain editorial oversight and fact-check all content, regardless of how it was created
• Personal stories, experiences, and opinions are authentically ours

Our Commitment: Every recipe you find here has been made by real hands in a real kitchen. AI is simply a tool that helps us work more efficiently—like a kitchen mixer instead of a whisk. The heart, soul, and accuracy of our content remain 100% human.

We’re committed to providing you with reliable, tested recipes and helpful cooking advice you can trust.

Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our privacy policy and agree to its terms.

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

• IP Address
• Operating System type
• Operating System version
• Device Type
• Language of the website
• Web browser type
• Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page.
