General Information
Easy Family Meal is a personal food blog run by Crystal Ivers, a registered dietitian, and is based on my own culinary experiences, ideas, and creations. All the content you see here, including recipes, nutrition tips, and meal ideas, is provided for informational purposes only. While I strive to offer accurate and helpful content, Easy Family Meal should not be viewed as a substitute for professional advice, including medical, nutritional, or dietary guidance specific to your individual needs.
This disclaimer sets out the limitations of my responsibility regarding the content, advertisements, affiliate links, and other aspects of this blog.
1. Recipe Content and Accuracy
The recipes shared on Easy Family Meal are based on my personal experiences in the kitchen, combined with my professional knowledge as a registered dietitian. I work hard to ensure that the recipes are clear, easy to follow, and designed to produce delicious results. However, the following points should be noted:
A. Originality of Recipes
All of the recipes featured on this blog are my own thoughts, ideas, and creations, unless otherwise stated. I do not use recipes from restaurants, nor do I claim to copy or reproduce exact dishes served by any specific dining establishments. The recipes are based on inspiration from my own culinary adventures, popular dishes, or family meals, and are adapted to fit the concept of easy, wholesome, and family-friendly cooking.
B. Copycat Recipes
From time to time, I may share “copycat” recipes inspired by well-known meals from popular restaurants or commercial products. However, please note that these are my personal adaptations and are not intended to be perfect replicas. I make no claims that these recipes will match the exact flavor, presentation, or nutritional content of the original.
C. Recipe Outcomes
Cooking is a creative process that can be affected by a variety of factors, including ingredient quality, kitchen equipment, and cooking techniques. As a result, I cannot guarantee that your outcomes will always match mine or that every recipe will be a perfect fit for everyone. I encourage you to adapt the recipes to suit your own tastes and preferences, and I welcome feedback on your experiences!
D. Ingredient Variations
Certain ingredients may not be available everywhere, and substitutions may be required based on availability or dietary restrictions. If you need help finding alternatives or adapting a recipe, feel free to reach out for advice, but please note that individual adaptations may result in different outcomes.
2. Nutritional Information
As a registered dietitian, I aim to offer balanced, healthy meals that are suitable for families, but the nutritional information provided on this blog is not guaranteed to be accurate. While I may provide estimates of calorie counts, macronutrient breakdowns, or other nutritional details for some recipes, these are based on general calculations and should be used for informational purposes only.
A. Limitations of Nutritional Calculations
Nutritional values can vary depending on the exact ingredients used, portion sizes, and specific cooking methods. I use tools like nutrition calculators to generate estimates, but these tools have limitations. Factors such as brand variations, freshness, and ingredient modifications can all affect the actual nutritional content of a recipe.
B. Not a Substitute for Professional Advice
If you have specific dietary needs or are following a medical nutrition plan, the nutritional information on this blog should not replace professional guidance from your healthcare provider or a licensed nutritionist. I encourage you to consult a qualified professional for personalized nutritional advice.
