I do not claim to be a professional chef, dietitian, or nutritionists. Recipes are meant to be taken as a guideline only. Use your best judgment to ensure food is safely prepared and a fit for your diet/situation. Please consult a medical professional if you need any guidance.

Calorie and nutritional information is provided for some of the recipes on its-the-simple-things.com.

Also this information may vary due to product types or brands purchased. Topping choices and amount individuals add can also vary will change the nutritional value. Other factors may change the nutritional information such as when the salt amount is listed as “to taste,” this is not calculated into the recipe as the amount will vary. Also, different online calculators can provide different results. I do not make any representations as to the accuracy or reliability of this information.

Under no circumstances will its-the-simple-things.com or its owners be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your reliance on nutritional information given by this site. By using its-the-simple-things.com and its content, you agree to these terms.
