New Orleans Fresh

New Orleans Fresh My name is Katie Dougherty (DOH-er-tee), 23, and I live in the Greater New Orleans Area. I’m a mental health advocate and political activist.

If there's anything I've learned in the last few years, it's that real life is f@ #%ing difficult, and I still live at home with my parents! Things I tend to do - eat a plethora of carbs and spend too much time/money at my local Target. Don't worry, the soccer moms judge, too! I'm a professional procrastinator with a hint of stubbornness. My favorite pastime is sleep, and I wish I had more time to

do it. I do classify myself as a “foodie” and I’m not ashamed to admit it. The best puppy in the world is Sadie, my Australian Cattle Dog. In this little corner of the inter-web, I'll share a few tips, talk about schooling, and recommend some food here-and-there. If you're super lucky, I may incorporate some of my photography skills I used to throw around like candy. The time has come for me to finally delve into the New Orleans food scene - my original purpose for this blog. I’m beyond ecstatic for this new quest!


​Grab some wine, snuggle up in your favorite jim-jams, and let's get to know each other through the deliciousness and uniqueness that is the New Orleans Greater Area.

Did she actually create a new blog post? I think she did!

Today, girlies, it's all about "Northshore Girls That Walk." Well, mostly. It's how I was able to manifest my dreams into a reality. Sarcasm maybe included??

An introduction to Northshore Girls That Walk.

What’s in my cooler backpack for Mardi Gras?? Let’s take a deep dive!

• hard seltzer - does it keep you hydrated while having fun???
• sparkling water - well for actual hydration needs
• zero sugar - for a little caffeine pick me up
• with vodka - what is a parade without Bloody Marys?? Also since when does Zing Zang sell their mix with vodka already?? Ingenious!
• shakes - it’s important to have some sustenance in your stomach for all the fun you’re going to have!

This backpack is a lifesaver! No need to lug a cooler around. It holds a pretty substantial amount of drinks or food, comes with ice packs and a bottle opener, and has side pockets for your umbrella.

Feel like this would also be a lifesaver for you too?? No sweat! I’ve got it linked in my bio!

What are you keeping in your cooler? Let me know in the comments!

‘Twas the night before tHERSday, and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even… who am I kidding? I’m not sleepin’ tonight! I’m too damn excited!

MY deep Gras starts tomorrow and let’s just say I can’t wait! Outfits and accessories are set out. The infamous Mardi Gras purple wig has been brushed and dry shampoo’d. Glitter is ready to go (or hot to go!). I’m prepared to sing ‘Pink Pony Club’ a million times at the top of my lungs.

(Y’all don’t judge my handwritten sign, okay? It’s my first year making signs!)

Double tap if you can’t wait either! Where will you be on the Avenue tomorrow night??

As we enter Deep Gras, remember: it’s a marathon, not a sprint. If you’re able to find a bathroom, the line is probably long. Eat a lil something before ya head out. And most importantly, have fun!

RIP to so much in this photo 😭 my blonde hair, this cami from , my Superstars, and my sunnies (they’re in the arms of the angels) 🪽

Stay safe out there y’all!
