Fine print and Privacy Policies
Pinterest, Food Photography, Posts and Recipes:
Pinterest is fabulous and I love being able to share new recipes in this way, but do not steal my work. Please do not copy and paste my recipes and claim them as your own, whether this be through Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other social media site. Also do not take my photography. My photography is my own work and it is copyrighted. You are welcome to link directly to a post or share a post, or recipe, but give credit where credit is due.
Comment Policy:
Please be kind. I reserve the right to remove any comment for any reason. Mean, vulgar and inappropriate comments will be removed. I understand not everyone will like my recipes, and I am totally fine with people commenting as such, but if your comment is vulgar or downright nasty, then it will be removed. If a particular person continues to make vulgar and nasty comments, then they will no longer have the ability to comment.
I will also remove comments if the sole reason for commenting is to get people to come to your site. If you want me to check out your site and read what you have written, please email me at lisa@fourmorebites.com.
Food Safety:
Please be smart about cooking your food. It is important to cook food to certain temperatures so you don’t get sick. Every oven is different and may not heat up to the exact temperature that my oven does, therefore your oven could take more or less time to cook food to the correct internal temperature. Any time there is a recipe on this blog that involves cooking meat or fish, I will always include the safe minimum internal temperature. It is up to you to follow those instructions, and if you don’t have a meat thermometer, you need to get one. Here is a good resource for safe minimum internal temperatures:
