I’m so thrilled that you stopped by!

Welcome to my little corner of the internet–the home of The Paper Plate Gourmet. Here you’ll find all of my Simply Delicious recipes, inspiration for your own kitchen adventures, and plenty of ways to connect with me beyond Instagram.

Looking for a quick & simple weeknight meal, a busy-morning breakfast idea, a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth, or a fun (and maybe even a little fancy) twist on the classics? You’ll find it here.

Everything I share is approachable, affordable, and of course, totally yummy!

Now, kick off your shoes, pull up a seat, grab a plate, make yourself at home and then go love every bite!

Everyone is welcome at my table & I just love that you’re here!

Selected Contestant

Filming Summer ’26 

I am beyond thrilled to share that I’ve been selected as a contestant on Recipe Philly, a first-of-its-kind restaurant, bar & show built by the people who live & eat here.

Through a citywide competition, home cooks from across the Philadelphia region submitted family recipes for a shot at a spot on the opening menu–and I’m honored to be one of the finalists chosen to compete.

Filming is underway now & the winning dishes are going straight onto the menu when Recipe Philly opens its doors at Broad & Arch this August.

More to come soon… stay tuned!

 

What they’re saying…

I began following The Paper Plate Gourmet to support my amazing cousin, Andrea, in her new adventure. I continue to follow because of the mouth watering recipes she makes that are doable. They don’t require fancy ingredients or equipment and so many are quick and easy! Love watching her chase her dreams!!! ❤️

Mama’s recipes are simply delicious! I love them because there are so many dishes that are easy to whip up—provided you have the ingredients on hand.
For me, the dishes are quite unique, yet they are all things that my family absolutely loves! I especially adore the salad dressings. 🥰

I frequently encourage all the ladies I know (who love to cook and bake!) to check out The Paper Plate Gourmet’s website created by Andrea Lynn. Not only are her recipes innovative and fun, she is a great resource and she and I have bounced ideas, helpful hints, and recipes back and forth a couple of times and that’s greatly appreciated! Talented, down-to-earth and so willing to help with your baking escapades… this is a website that is a keeper!

I have been following Andrea for a couple of years and she has become one of my favorite places for recipes that are simple, delicious, and actually doable in real life.

But beyond the food, she is genuinely one of the kindest and most authentic people you’ll find online.

Andrea brings a level of care and intentionality to her work that you can feel in every frame. She doesn’t just make food look good, she thinks about the story, the audience, and the brand she’s representing. Any brand lucky enough to collaborate with her is getting a true creative partner.

Love the recipes—easy and delicious and how you present. Love you always comment back to me ❤️

- Diane S.

The Paper Plate Gourmet shares recipes that are the perfect mix of easy and tasty, and that’s what first drew me in. What keeps me following is how encouraging and supportive Andrea is with everyone who shows up.
