Terms of Service

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here to explore easy recipes and hopefully find some new favorites for your family table.

To make sure everyone has a positive and safe experience using TastyEasyMeals.com (which we’ll call the “Site”), we have some basic ground rules and terms. Think of this page as the friendly manual for how things work around here. It’s a bit more formal than my usual chats, but it’s important stuff to keep everything running smoothly for our community.

By accessing or using TastyEasyMeals.com, you agree to follow and be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). Please take a few minutes to read them over. If you don’t agree with these terms, unfortunately, you shouldn’t use the Site.

1. Using Our Website (The Fun Part!)

TastyEasyMeals.com provides recipes, cooking tips, photos, and other content related to food and home cooking (the “Content”).

  • Personal Use: We grant you a limited, non-exclusive license to access and use the Site and its Content for your personal, non-commercial enjoyment. This means feel free to browse, read recipes, print them for your own kitchen use, and try them out!
  • Accuracy: I pour my heart into developing and testing recipes, but cooking can vary based on ingredients, equipment, and even altitude! While I strive for accuracy, I can’t guarantee every recipe will turn out perfectly every time in every kitchen. Use your best judgment, and feel free to ask questions in the comments!
  • Not Professional Advice: The Content on this site, including any nutritional information (if provided), is for informational purposes only. It’s based on my own experiences and calculations. It is not intended as medical, nutritional, or professional dietary advice. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian for advice tailored to your specific health needs or dietary restrictions.

  • Use any automated means (like scrapers, bots, or spiders) to access or collect data from the Site.
  • Interfere with the proper working of the Site, overload our servers, or attempt to gain unauthorized access.
  • Post comments that are unlawful, harmful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, hateful, or otherwise objectionable (let’s keep it kind!).
