About Pam Wattenbarger

I’m a small-town Georgia blogger who lives between Chattanooga and Atlanta.  Our family- that’s me, my husband, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, and son, have a small farm filled with rescued animals. Our menagerie has expanded to include a small flock of sheep, a donkey, and four (gasp!) very spoiled cats. 

As a huge travel buff, I’m ready to travel almost anywhere, anytime. I’ve dragged my kids to tons of educational sites while on vacation, many of which they actually enjoyed. Cooking and baking are my hobbies. Easy homestyle recipes and comfort foods made with common ingredients and sometimes with packaged mixes? Yes, please.

I’m constantly attempting to develop new recipes and adapt old ones so my celiac daughter can enjoy them too.  We’ve had lots of success, but quite a few flops!  Even though I love to cook, I’m thrilled when someone else cooks or offers to take me out to dinner.

About Brittany Wattenbarger

I’m Brittany, a twenty-something living near Chattanooga, TN, with my husband, daughter, and our menagerie of pets. Currently, we have three dogs, five cats, three guinea pigs, and three chickens! 

Despite living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Celiac Disease, and Myasthenia Gravis, I love to travel. I’m always up for a good road trip, and my favorite part of travel is getting to try local (gluten-free) dishes that I’ve never had before.

  You can find me working as the IT specialist in our local health food store, taking classes toward a degree in computer science, or exploring Tik-Tok.

What You’ll Find at Simply Southern Mom:

Recipes

We believe in unapologetically easy cooking.  We want everyone -including novice cooks- to be able to recreate our recipes.  If you like Southern,  Homestyle, or comfort food, we share step by step recipes with a twist. Most have gluten-free or allergy-friendly adaptations.  Sure, we love fancy food with uncommon ingredients, but we realize not everyone has all day to spend in the kitchen.

Travel

If you like to travel, we’ve got you covered. We’re huge travel buffs and have been known to be packed and ready for a trip in less than 20 minutes. We explore family-friendly destinations and share tips about multi-generational travel.  We’re always ready for girlfriend getaways and romantic weekends too.

Lifestyle

If you have kids, we share lifestyle tips on parenting, toys, and things our children enjoy. We also feature the occasional craft, gardening tips as Pam is working on her Master Gardener’s certification, and products we love.
