Hi! My name is Heather Johnson and I’m the hussy behind Food Hussy! I’ve recently been crowned the QUEEN of Copycat Recipes with over 6 million page views in 2024! I’m a food & travel blogger and have been blogging since 2008. I’m also the WINNER of Guy’s Grocery Games!!! (Aug 2022) Author of “I Love My Air Fryer: Cooking for One“ Born in Iowa, Living in Cincinnati, OH What’s a Food Hussy? Besides the obvious answer of – ME! I think of a “hussy” as a good thing – I call all my friends that. It’s someone who is honest and open and tells it like it is. If that’s you – then you just might be a hussy too! But…there’s only ONE Food Hussy! My favorite recipes to make are Restaurant Copycat Recipes. I’ve also grown quite a following with the Traeger (Electric Smoker), Blackstone Griddle and the Air Fryer! How did I get so good at Copycat recipes? I started The Food Hussy as a restaurant review blog – so I’ve learned to identify foods and pick out specific ingredients. This helps me recreate your restaurant favorite meals! I’d love to get to know you and/or work with you!
