Welcome to the Dish with Trish, you may have guessed, but just in case, Hi, I’m Trish! I created this page to share my love of delicious food and my personal experiences bite for bite, sip for sip revealing hidden gems and my favorite local hot spots! I have made it a goal to expand my chomping grounds and sprinkle in a little travel experience, health, wellness beauty & fashion tips too. Thank you for joining me! A little bit more about me….
• I am 47 years young, and I call Port Orange, Florida home. I am the mom of 2 grown, beautiful kids, Kate(recently engaged) who is 28, and Tommy who is 26.
• I work Full Time as a Payroll Manager with Heartland Payment Systems, and LOVE WHAT I DO!
• I have a wonderful foodie boyfriend Raj who shares my love for good food and music, we are truly living our best lives together.
• I am the creator of a local foodie facebook group called, Foodie Reviews of Daytona, Port Orange, Ormond, Ponce Inlet, NSB, and DeLand. I created this group a little over 2 years ago during the pandemic, to provide support to our local restaurant industry and to bring our community together. About a year ago, I took over another facebook restaurant review group, New Smyrna Beach Restaurant Reviews, and I am the creator of 2 newer facebook groups, Good Grub Nation and Beyond the Dish with Trish.
• I was voted class clown in highschool and not sure much has changed.
• I would consider myself an extrovert and introvert
• My love language is food, a language we all speak fluently.
• I get overly excited about a fantastic cheese pull, I am obsessed with noodles and appreciate a great craft cocktail. I have become a bit of a cocktail snob thanks to being exposed to some of the very best mixologists. When all else fails, a nice red blend will do.
• My favorite cuisines are Thai, Italian, and Indian. My favorite cheat meals are wings, a napkin required smashburger, and a delicious extra cheese pie! And ohhhhh how I love ice cream!
• I love to travel and I am so excited to be in a stage of life where I can travel more with my Rajie and family. I look forward to exploring new places around and outside of the country and incorporating our love of food in our adventures! • Travel bucket list for 2023 New Orleans, Miami, Greece or Italy!!
• I have always loved playing in makeup since I was in middle school. My mom was a professional makeup artist growing up and I just loved anything and everything cosmetic related. I attended cosmetology my Jr and Sr year in highschool, met some of the bestest friends, but decided cosmetology was not for me, I felt like I was too much of a perfectionist to do it full time. Makeup has always kept my interest and I spend the little downtime I do have watching beauty influencers on insta or fb, until I fall asleep then wake up from a little phone smack to the face!
• Since I am not getting any younger, I have taken a newer interest into health and wellness, a more holistic approach and learning more about meditation. What a challenge meditation has been, but I am slowly making improvements.
• Last but not least, I love fashion, apparel, and jewelry… I am all about the accessories baby! Especially turquoise and statement pieces. Thanks for tagging along on my foodie and travel adventures, I believe food is 1 of the few things left that brings us all together. I am glad your love for food and adventure has brought you here to connect with me, Cheers and Mangia!
