FAQS

I do my best to answer emails or respond to questions in the comment boxes, but just in case I missed something, here are the most frequently asked questions for your reference:

How can I get a hold of you?
Shoot me an email at lmadesimple@gmail.com or message me on Facebook.

Can I get your recipes via email?
Yes. If you can't always visit Life Made Simple for new recipes and posts, you can subscribe to my feed via email. That way when I do post new content it will come straight to your inbox. Subscribing is quick, easy and free, just enter your email into the box on the right hand side of your screen and click submit!

Can I pin your posts on Pinterest?
Of course! I love when readers share my content! And while you're at it, you can follow me on Pinterest too!

Can I use one of your photos/recipes on my blog?
Yes, as long as you re-write the recipe in your own words or link back to my site for the recipe. I spend a lot of time working to create, photograph and post these recipes and would ask that you would please credit me for that work! I'm always flattered to see someone share one of my recipes on their blog!

Where do you get your inspiration from?

A lot of my inspiration comes from the internet, books and magazines. But a lot of it is inspired by day-to-day life... whatever I have on hand or whatever I'm currently craving :)

What is your favorite recipe?
Good question. Probably my Oreo Cheesecake Topped Brownies or Vanilla Funfetti Cupcakes!

Do you eat everything you make?
Yes! My husband and I always try everything you see here on Life Made Simple. I wouldn't share a recipe with you that I didn't think was delicious or that didn't turn out perfectly. That said, we do give lots of goodies away to friends and family... sharing is caring, right?!

I made your recipe and it didn’t turn out. What went wrong?!
I try to make sure that all of the recipes I post here on my blog are ones that are foolproof, ones that you can depend on. I make sure to write out clear instructions and give an tips or notes that I found aided the success of the recipe. Please read the post, recipe ingredients and directions before you make a recipe, and for good measure, do it again! Also make sure to have all of your ingredients prepped and ready, this will help a lot! As far as recipe completely flopping goes, there are a multitude of factors that could have caused issues. Altitude, baking time, substituting ingredients, improper mixing of ingredients, ingredients not at room temperature etc. Please leave a comment or email me and tell me what went wrong- I need to know! Hopefully we can troubleshoot and make sure that the recipe does indeed work! 

Do you know the nutritional stats on your recipes?
Nope, sorry. I don't really ever intend on listing them either- it's a lot of extra time and work! But please feel free to use an online calculator to see for yourself!

What kind of cameras do you use?
I use a Canon EOS Rebel T2i with a 50mm 1.4 lens. I use Photoshop CS5 to edit my photos.

What do you and your husband do?
He's in law school and I'm a stay-at-home-mom/blogger.
