About Trisha Haas | Professional Food Blogger
Hi, y’all; I am Trisha Haas, the food blogger behind Salty Side Dish and Viral Recipes (now recipes are all easily accessible here!). I am a Florida native, and we thrive on the best Southern cuisine and incredible side dishes. I’ve been married for 22 years and have two amazing kids who, despite their mother being an awesome cook, still prefer chicken nuggets and french fries.
I LOVE cooking, from testing viral recipes (and all the changes to make those trendy recipes better) to sharing the best appetizers, salads, and side dish recipes that make the winters that much cozier and summer gatherings all the more special. Connect with me on Pinterest and TikTok.
How Salty Side Dish Began
Food was always the center of my childhood, and I can remember a family Thanksgiving with more than 80 guests! I have been trained to make easy-to-follow desserts and dinners in Rome, as well as the old-fashioned school of Grandma’s home cooking.
For the past 14 years, I have been a professional blogger, creating, developing, and sharing step-by-step content to help over a million readers a month feel confident in their kitchens. While my bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida was in criminology, my experience with cooking set me up for a lifetime of great food development.
Side Dish Recipes on Salty Side Dish have proudly been featured on Buzzfeed, Country Living, Food Gawker, Parade magazine, Seventeen, New York Times, Yahoo!, and many more amazing places. As a featured speaker and often-referenced recipe website, you can trust that my goal is to have you make the perfect recipe every time. Budget-Friendly, Kid Approved, Step-by-Step photos, and simple ingredients that readers love.
