General Food Safety:

The reader assumes full responsibility for using their best judgment when cooking with raw ingredients such as beef, poultry, or eggs, and seeking information from an official food safety authority if they are unsure. The reader must also take care to not physically injure themselves by coming into contact with hot surfaces, sharp blades, and other kitchen hazards. It is the responsibility of the reader to review all listed ingredients in a recipe before cooking to ensure that none of the ingredients may cause a potential adverse reaction to anyone eating the food based on recipes featured on the Website.

About Nutritional Information:

  • Nutrition information is calculated using various nutrition calculating sites, the Fitday app or from packaging and other sources. While this information can be helpful in estimating the nutritional information of a recipe, it is by no means accurate or official, and is not evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
  • As these figures are only estimates, the reader should be advised that nutritional content may vary due to several factors such as how much of an ingredient is used vs. how much will actually be eaten, brand differences, and more.
  • To ensure the most accurate nutritional information, the reader should make calculations based on the ingredients actually used, using their own preferred method, or consulting with a licensed nutritional expert.
  • The Carbs in Swerve are not included because Erythritol is purported to have no impact on blood sugar and is considered a 0 (zero) on the glycemic scale.
  • This is true of  many other zero calorie sweeteners as well.
  • However, various sweeteners may affect individuals differently.  Use them at your own risk.
  • You are encouraged to do your own research.
