How we work
- We list our sources at the end of a post when we rely on outside information, such as USDA food-safety guidance or official nutrition data.
- Cooking temperatures follow USDA safe minimum internal temperatures.
- Nutrition numbers, when shown, are estimates. Check with your doctor or a dietitian for medical or dietary advice.
- When we update a recipe, we change the “updated” date and fix the post. We don’t re-date old posts to make them look new.
