Meet Bri
Welcome to Bites with Bri! I’m Bri, the creative mind behind the recipes, words, and photos you’ll find here.
My favorite part of this journey? Definitely savoring each delicious bite. I’m thrilled to have you join me and confident you’ll fall in love with my recipes at first bite.
Bites with Bri began in July 2020 as an Instagram account where I shared my daily kitchen creations. Newly married, I was excited to cook for my special someone. Cooking has always been my love language. Fresh out of college with a Computer Science degree, I found myself job hunting in the midst of a pandemic. Instead, I dedicated my time to Bites with Bri, launching the blog a few months later.
My first blog post debuted on October 6, 2020, but my passion for cooking started much earlier. I’ve been cooking since I could barely reach the counter and glued to Food Network since I figured out the TV guide. I remember the thrill of boiling water for Ramen noodles before afternoon kindergarten, already too sophisticated for the microwave.
My love for cooking and hosting is deeply rooted in my family. Both of my parents are passionate cooks, and most nights after a long day at work, my mom still prepared a homemade dinner for my brother and I. Boxed mixes and frozen foods were foreign to me, fostering my appreciation for fresh, home-cooked meals from an early age.
My palate has only become more refined since those early days. Some might call me a food snob; I consider it a compliment. I believe food should be flavorful and eating should be an experience. Underseasoned, bland food is my pet peeve, and there are too many lackluster recipes out there. That’s why I started Bites with Bri.
About Bites with Bri
Here, you’ll discover an array of unique and boldly flavored savory recipes, with an occasional sweet treat. From effortless 30-minute weeknight meals to homemade bread, there’s something for everyone. My culinary style revolves around elevated comfort food, and salt is my secret weapon. Rest assured, under-seasoned dishes are a no-go here.
I love to elevate classic dishes by incorporating a variety of spices and fresh aromatics. While my ingredient lists may be longer than you’re used to, each spice plays a crucial role in enhancing the flavor. Trust me, these additions make all the difference, and soon you’ll have a well-stocked spice arsenal in your pantry.
BWB isn’t tied to any specific diet because I don’t adhere to one myself. Some days I eat vegan, other days low carb, and sometimes I indulge. My main focus is always on taste. You’ll find everything from keto-friendly recipes to homemade garlic rolls from scratch. Balance is key, my friends.
Whether you’re a novice cook or a seasoned chef, my recipes cater to all skill levels. They are easy to follow, with plenty of step-by-step photos, and the flavors rival those of top-tier restaurant dishes.
Beyond delicious recipes, BWB offers a wealth of cooking and blogging resources. I believe in getting back to basics, so you might find detailed posts on specific ingredients, cooking techniques, or handy kitchen tips and tricks.
Q & A with Bri
I was born and raised in Texas and currently reside in a small town outside of Fort Worth with my husband and two dogs.
I identify strongly as an Enneagram type 1. Perfectionism is one of my greatest strengths and weaknesses.
For me, this question is like choosing a favorite child—impossible! If pressed, I would probably have to say sushi, particularly the tuna nigiri from a restaurant in Dallas called Uchi.
I love listening to podcasts like Girls Gotta Eat, What We Said, Delusional Diaries, and Gals on the while I cook, clean, edit, and shoot.
While I once dreamed of owning a restaurant, I’ve come to appreciate the flexibility of remote work. Now, I aspire to write my own cookbook or develop a new product.
I’m passionate about intuitive eating. Discovering the book “Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Anti-Diet Approach” transformed my life, liberating me from chronic dieting and allowing me to listen to my body.
I love exploring new places! Some of my favorite destinations include New York, Turks & Caicos, Maui, & Mexico, where I’ve enjoyed discovering new cuisines and cultures.
