The information on everypurposehome.com (the “Site”), home of The Sourdough Cookie Lady, is for general informational and entertainment purposes only. “I,” “me,” and “we” mean Every Purpose Home and Marlene, the person behind it. By using the Site, you agree to this Disclaimer, my Terms and Conditions, and my Privacy Policy.
Not Professional Advice
I’m a home baker and blogger, not a doctor, registered dietitian, nutritionist, chemist, or other licensed professional. Nothing on the Site is medical, nutritional, health, legal, or financial advice, and it shouldn’t replace advice from a qualified professional. Always talk to your doctor or another qualified professional before making changes to your diet, health, or wellness routine.
Recipes and Results
I test my recipes carefully in my own home kitchen, but I can’t guarantee your results. Ingredients, brands, measurements, equipment, oven temperatures, altitude, humidity, technique, and the activity of your sourdough starter or discard can all affect how a recipe turns out. Bake times and temperatures are guidelines, so watch your oven and use your best judgment.
Food Allergies and Dietary Needs
My recipes may contain or come into contact with common allergens, including wheat and gluten, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and others. Always read ingredient labels carefully and make sure every ingredient, including brand-name products, fits your allergies and dietary needs. Recipe descriptions such as “dye-free” or “refined sugar-free” reflect the ingredients I use and may not apply to every brand or substitution.
Nutrition Information
Any nutrition information on the Site is an approximate estimate provided for convenience only. It will vary with the brands, amounts, substitutions, and serving sizes you use. If accurate nutrition information matters for your health, please calculate it yourself with the exact ingredients you use or consult a registered dietitian.
Food Safety
Please follow safe food-handling practices. Don’t eat raw cookie dough or batter: raw eggs and raw, untreated flour can carry harmful bacteria. Bake foods to safe temperatures, cool and store them properly, and keep your sourdough starter clean and healthy. Discard any starter or food that shows signs of mold or spoilage. Use caution in the kitchen with hot ovens, sharp tools, and appliances, and supervise children at all times.
Homemade Natural Living, Home, and Self-Care Products
Some posts share recipes and tips for homemade cleaning products, natural beauty and self-care products, and uses for essential oils, beeswax, tallow, and other ingredients. These are based on my own experience and are shared for informational purposes only.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products and suggestions are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always do a patch test before using a homemade product on your skin, research every ingredient, and check with your doctor before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or are using these around children or pets. Some ingredients, including essential oils and cleaning ingredients, can be harmful if misused, ingested, or combined; never mix cleaning products unless a recipe specifically says it’s safe, label your homemade products clearly, and store them out of reach of children and pets. You use homemade products at your own risk.
Product Recommendations, Affiliate Links, and Ads
I only recommend products I use and love or believe would genuinely help you, but your experience may differ. The Site contains affiliate links and displays ads. See my Affiliate Disclosure for details. I’m not responsible for products, services, or information provided by third-party companies or websites, including any that are linked from the Site.
Accuracy and Errors
I do my best to keep the information on the Site accurate and up to date, but mistakes happen. I make no guarantees about the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of any content, and I may update or remove content at any time without notice. If you spot an error, I’d love to know!
Views and Comments
Comments on the Site reflect the opinions of the people who wrote them, not mine. I’m not responsible for comments, and I may remove any comment at my discretion.
Use at Your Own Risk
Your use of the Site and any information, recipe, or product found on it is solely at your own risk.
