Hi! I’m Paula. I’m a wife and mom to six children that I homeschool. My passion is my family. The titles “Wife” and “Mom” are by far my proudest accomplishments. But I’m also a blogger, podcaster, and entreprenuer. I love that too! A natural teacher at heart, I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned with others.
Along with raising six amazing kiddos, I also raise a dozen chickens, and a small vegetable garden in my small urban home. I grew up in Texas with a family full of great cooks. Even the men in my family cook. My grandfather grew herbs and vegetables growing up, instilling in me a holistic appreciation for food. In my younger years, my grandmother raised chickens and dairy cows. It was like another world in the center of an urban neighborhood. My grandmother was the person who influenced me to “COOK”. She showed me that cooking was much more than following a recipe. She showed me that you can literally make something out of nothing (or very little). That coupled with feeding a family of eight, three meals a day, has taught me a lot along the way and I’m sharing our favorites right here!

On this site, I’ll share ideas on how to pair up your favorite side dishes with entrees. Sometimes after cooking for a while, we find ourselves in a food rut. Making the same dishes over and over again. Or even for those of us who are new to cooking and are searching for some ideas on what to pair. Either way, I’ve got you covered!
