Hello, and welcome to Recipe Recommendations!

My name Catherine Lily—although everyone calls me Cat—and I created this website. I live with my family in Panama City, Florida, although I am originally from Orlando. Living in Florida, I can say that I have actually had the pleasure of trying alligator, and I can say that it isn’t as scary as it sounds—when it’s cooked, of course! While I am a hair stylist during the day, I’ve always loved experiencing new foods, as well as sharing recipes I’ve already come to love with others.

From the time that I was a little girl, I was always in the kitchen. When I was young, that started with me tasting my grandmother’s perfected recipes, and sampling food directly from my mother’s skillets. They quickly got me involved in the actual cooking as I got older, and even my older brother can whip up a thing or two.. Food brought my family and I together on a nightly basis. When my brother and I were teens, my family’s busy schedules still didn’t stop us from all sitting down together for a meal at the end of the day. Those are memories that I still treasure today, and we make more every year.

I love food. It’s that simple. The right foods can bring people together for the most memorable of experiences. Just look at Thanksgiving and Christmas, two holidays that bring American families together year after year. But the holidays don’t have to be the only time for sharing recipes. The women in your family may not be willing to share their recipes (and if they are, lucky you!), but you can always try something new together. However, many people who are looking to do exactly that, whether with a friend, loved one, or on their own, find themselves walking into bad experiences when they pick up a recipe of questionable quality.

I made this site for exactly that reason. Here at Recipe Recommendations, you’ll be exposed to quality recipes that have been tried, tasted, and loved by other cooks. Whether you’re a professional or just an enthusiast, Recipe Recommendations could be just what you need. Here you will find delicious recipes, many of which have been created with efficiency in mind to help boost your busy week. It can be difficult to find the time, or even the energy to put together quality meals during the week. But you can’t just eat fast food all week long. That’s where Recipe Recommendations comes in. Within this site you’ll find healthy options that are also low on preparation and cooking times, leaving you with the opportunity to take care of your responsibilities and still whip up a delicious meal you won’t find yourself regretting later.

If you’re looking for a trusted source to get new recipes from, you’ve come to the right place. Recipe Recommendations will be your guide when it comes to exploring new healthy, efficient, or even cultural options. You have my word that there will be no surprises—this website was created with you in mind. If you have any questions, comments, or even requests, feel free to get in touch with me via the contact box.

Bon Appétit!
