By Kelsey Smith (https://bykelseysmith.com/) is a personal blog written and edited by me, Kelsey Smith. The content shared here, including recipes, cooking tips, and related information, is provided for informational purposes only. While I aim to offer accurate and helpful content, I make no representations or warranties of any kind about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of the information shared.
By using this site, you understand and agree that any reliance on the information found here is at your own risk.

Monetization
This website is monetized through affiliate links, sponsored content, and advertising.
Affiliate Links
This site includes affiliate links (such as links via the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program), which means I earn a commission when you purchase through those links, at no extra cost to you. These commissions help support the work I do here, but they never influence my content, opinions, or recommendations.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, I may collaborate with brands or feature sponsored content. Sponsored posts will always be clearly disclosed, and all opinions shared will be my own. I only promote products or services that I genuinely use and believe in.
Advertising
I work with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on By Kelsey Smith. To learn how your data is used, visit my Privacy Policy.
Recipe Testing and Safety
I thoroughly test all recipes before publication to ensure they are accurate, reliable, and easy to follow. However, individual results may vary depending on factors such as ingredient brands, equipment, and personal cooking experience. Always exercise caution when preparing meals to prevent injury, particularly when using sharp tools or hot surfaces. If children are cooking, they should consult an adult and be supervised for safety. Additionally, please be mindful of ingredient substitutions and potential allergens, especially if you or someone you’re cooking for has dietary restrictions or sensitivities.
From time to time, By Kelsey Smith may reference or recommend third-party products or kitchen equipment. Please carefully read all manuals and safety instructions before use, as I am not responsible for any injuries or issues that may occur while using these products or tools.
Nutritional Information
Any nutritional information provided is an estimate and should be used for informational purposes only. The accuracy of this information cannot be guaranteed, and readers should calculate their own nutritional values based on the actual ingredients used. I am not a nutritionist or nutrition expert, so I rely on nutrition estimates through the Spoonacular API.
Recipe Ratings and Reviews
I will ensure that recipe ratings and reviews reflect the feedback received from legitimate commenters about their real experiences. I will never prevent or discourage people from submitting negative reviews. All ratings require a written review and are moderated within a week of receipt to verify that reviews are genuine and not fake, deceptive, or otherwise manipulated.
I will never edit reviews to alter the message. I treat positive and negative reviews equally. Reviews that are suspicious or phony will not be published. Comments will be removed if they contain spam, self-promotion, inappropriate content, personally identifiable information, hate speech, or off-topic content. Additionally, if it is evident a reviewer made a critical error when following a recipe that affected their review, a rating may be reset if it misrepresents the finished product.
