Happy Friday everybody! As some of you already know, I am from the midwest where we pour our hearts and souls into our Fish Frys. I still enjoy fish every Friday, but fried fish isn’t the best thing for a growing girl. Trying to stick to healthier food habits, my buddy suggested this Creamy Pesto [...]
Folks, you are in for a very special treat today. You are witnessing a part of Foodie McBooty history — a huge milestone in the cooking life of Foodie McBooty: I just bought my first basil plant! Before this, I have never attempted growing an herb garden — in fear of my cat eating more [...]
Crocs — Those funny looking shoes that are popular amongst medical staff. Made from 100% organic, non-toxic materials, it is rumored that you can eat these shoes if you’re ever stranded in the woods.

If the food takes me down memory lane and back to my youth, I’m a fan. I am constantly updating this recipe. Every time I make this dish, it turns out a [...]
This is what happens when you forget about your mushrooms on the stove top! Woops!!
In Wisconsin we love, love, LOVE our Friday fish frys! It’s a Catholic tradition that has extended into Wisconsin culture. Ever since I moved I moved to Colorado, fish fry Fridays are much more difficult to come by. In the spirit of the Wisconsin fish fry I created this delicious layer of buttery, lemony, crusty [...]
I’m a burger ADDICT. Lately I have experimented with healthier burger options. I have this belief that with meats like turkey or buffalo, you sacrifice a lot of flavor in a burger patty. Lordy, lordy, he hath proven me wrong! I never thought I would see the day when I, Foodie McBooty, falls in love [...]
