Hey, Y’all!

Welcome to The Paper Plate Gourmet!

I’m Andrea Lynn, a VERY proud Mamma of 3 amazing adult kiddos and the lucky wife of a very talented chef. My love for food runs deep, and has been the heart 7& soul of my family’s life for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s trying out new recipes, exploring different cuisines, or diving into learning new techniques in the kitchen, I’ve always found so much joy in navigating the vast world of the food we all love.

Creativity in the kitchen is my playground—cooking & baking are my passion & my therapy. I’m self-taught (except for a few tips & tricks I’ve learned from my husband and from FAR too many hours watching Food Network) and always eager to teach & inspire others.

Through my Instagram page and this website, I share not just recipes, but the stories & memories that make each dish so special. My goal is to inspire you to create & enjoy new things that bring warmth & happiness into your kitchen…your home…just like they do in mine.

Join me on this simply delicious journey & let’s discover the joy of new things. Together we can make life yummy…one paper plate at a time!
