About Me

Hi there! Welcome to Call Me PMc.com. Thanks for stopping by! I’m Paula or PMc as friends call me. (See how I got that nickname here.) I love to cook, bake, entertain, run, and garden. I won the Mississippi Magazine 2011 Recipe Contest and everybody started asking me for recipes. I started this blog to share my recipes with friends.

I primarily post recipes that are easy to prepare while retaining amazing flavor! I have recipes with just 3 ingredients, recipes that take under 30 minutes to prepare, hearty recipes, and I even have suggestions for leftovers or what I call Encore meals! You’ll definitely want to sign up for my email so you don’t miss a single recipe!

I’m a Southern gal and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I live in Tupelo, MS, population of 35,000. Tupelo is most famous for being the birthplace of Elvis Presley. That fact still brings thousands of tourists to Tupelo annually. I have always been obsessed with cookbooks and recipes. I’ve collected recipes since I was a teenager. I read cookbooks like most people read novels. My first experience cooking was baking at age eight. My mother allowed me to try anything I wanted in the kitchen as long as I cleaned up after myself. She’s an Angel! It wasn’t until my college years that I began cooking savory foods. I had still rather cook desserts. I had rather eat desserts, actually!

Here are some random facts about me:

Summer

I was extremely shy growing up.
I hate fingernail polish.
I like bananas. I hate bananas cooked in anything.
I like to cook. I love to bake. I hate cleaning up afterward.
I love to run. I. Love. To. Run!
I am very impatient.
I love exclamation points!!!!
I’m sarcastic.
I did not want a dog. I fought my husband and kids to not get a dog. It worked for 10 years. Now, we have a dog. She’s the sweetest dog ever! I don’t know why we didn’t get a dog before now…..
I enjoy watching SEC football.
I love Greek yogurt. I also love rice cakes.
I hate carpool.
Stopping to take pictures while I’m cooking is the hardest thing to get used to doing. Ryder asked me right after I started the blog, “Mommie, why are you taking pictures of food?”
I have a B.S. in Education and never taught school. Before I retired (as Wesley likes to say) I was in banking.
I only forgot to pick my kids up three times from swim!

I’d love to hear from you on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

My food philosophy

I believe in everything in moderation. On callmepmc.com, you’ll find rich, decadent desserts, but you’ll also find healthier and lighter foods. That’s how I eat and live. I’m sure not going to pass up dessert, but I balance that with a tasty salad and an extra run.

I love cooking classic recipes that bring back memories. I also enjoy updating classics in new and unique ways.
