About Me
My name is Barbara Holmes. I work as a full-time mother while running a food blog and traveling on the side.
I began writing about meals years ago, focusing on easy recipes that fit into daily life. Over time, I’ve shared tips from my kitchen and trips, aiming to help others find quick ways to cook at home.
I keep the blog simple. Each recipe comes from my own table—no fancy equipment, no long lists. I test everything twice: once when the kids are awake, once after they sleep. What works stays.
I write for parents who cook after work. The steps are short. The ingredients sit in most pantries. A dish takes thirty minutes or less from start to plate.
Travel shapes the flavors. A night market in Bangkok taught me to balance chili and lime in ten seconds. A street cart in Lisbon showed how one ripe tomato can carry a whole meal. I bring those lessons home and scale them down for a family of four.
My Journey
Started Evening Bite Bliss from my kitchen counter at 10 p.m., kids asleep, laptop open. First post: a one-pan chicken the toddler ate without complaint. Readers wrote back the next day. Kept going.
2018
Quit my desk job. Booked a one-way ticket to Thailand with a two-year-old and a backpack. Spent six months eating at night markets, copying flavors into a notebook. Came home with twenty new weeknight dinners.
2016
Began testing recipes in a rented apartment with one good knife. Posted the first photo on a free blog. A week later, a stranger made my garlic shrimp and sent a picture. That was the start.
Last but not least…
Evening Bite Bliss is now my daily note to parents who want dinner ready before the sun sets. No long stories, no extra steps—just food that works. Stick around; the next recipe is already on the stove.
