Hi, I’m Lisa Catherine!
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a cookbook author, professional recipe developer, and food photographer. I’m a mom of two ( Noah and Ella ), a food lover, a self-proclaimed cookie enthusiast, and the founder and creator of Quick Family Recipe. I’ve been creating and posting my favorite tried and true recipes online for over one year!
Since then, Quick Family Recipe has grown into a trusted resource, with recipes featured on Better Homes and Garden, Martha Stewart, BuzzFeed, Taste of Home, and MSN. I have been on a few podcasts including Eat, Blog Talk and Simple Pin Media.
Over the years, our community has grown into a trusted resource for families looking for simple, reliable recipes that actually work.

My Background
I’ve spent the past years testing (and retesting!) thousands of recipes to make sure they’re not only delicious, but also simple enough for busy home cooks. As a professional recipe developer and tester, I’m all about removing the guesswork from cooking and baking.
I’ve taken numerous cooking classes over the years and love staying current with new techniques and trends. As a professional food photographer with a background in digital media, I love to make food look pretty and share my photos and videos across social media.
5 Random Things About Me
I’ve lived in sunny Arizona for most of my life. We moved around for 10 years (to finish my husband’s medical training) and also lived in Ohio, Oregon, and California.
I enjoy traveling to new places and trying new foods. It inspires a lot of my recipes.
I love to bake cookies, breads and share them with friends (in real life and online)!
I’m passionate about bringing families together around the dinner table and creating 30-minute meals and easy dinners!
The most important thing to me is family and cooking.
