How to Create a S’Mores Bar and Free Printable
I love the fun times summer brings - picnics, cookouts, fireworks, and S'Mores. S'mores are great any time, but nothing beats the dripping gooeyness of marshmallows and chocolate when you get out of the pool from a day of swimming in the sun. And with our country's...
What’s for Dinner this Week: Poppyseed Chicken Casserole
One of the secrets to hosting is having a rotation of entrees that you can make with your eyes closed. Why? Because it takes the pressure off your to-do list of what to prepare. My mother always coached me never to try a new recipe for the first time at one of my...
How to Plant a Cocktail Garden
Let me paint you a picture. It's a Saturday afternoon. Guests are arriving in an hour. Instead of rushing around a grocery store looking at sad, plastic-wrapped herb bunches, I'm barefoot in my garden, scissors in hand, snipping a sprig of mint here, a handful of...
Porch Swing Banana Pudding
Mr. Twist had a craving for banana pudding, and I remembered I had a great recipe. Years ago, my mother's best friend, Margaret, gifted me a tiny little spiral A Little Taste of Texas cookbook. It still has the label from Sample House on it. On the back it says......
The Best BBQ Baked Beans
I've been making these beans since Mr. Twist and I first married, and they're his favorite, especially when summer cookout season arrives. They pair perfectly with BBQ and hamburgers. The recipe originally came from Southern Living magazine, but I've added a few...
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

I was the youngest of four - being the baby is the BEST! So my parents always took me with them to dinner parties. Even at 5 years old I was a great at small talk.🤣
The hostess would let me make my own Shirley Temple, then set me up a TV tray in the den and I watched cartoons.
The Shirley Temple has always been my fave. But let`s bring her into modern times and make her a little dirty! This drink is perfect as in for a mocktail, but you can show your guests the darker side of Shirley! 🍒🍒
The Dirty Shirley Recipe
1.5 oz silver rum
1.0 oz Marascino Cherry Liquer
.5 oz fresh lime juice
1 tsp grenadine
Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake for 30 seconds (very important to shake for the full amount so it gets good and cold)
Strain over ice into a glass. Top with sparkling water and 🍒 cherries

Red, white and blue have also been special to me. When I was little, my mother painted the wooden floors in my bedroom a glossy navy blue and dressed my bed in an Americana quilt. She was the original Martha Stewart - very stylish and forward thinking.
This @harlemtoilegirl collection from Walmart tells a story, too. It`s Sheila`s tribute to the city where she grew up. Her designs blend historic references, local icons, and familiar cultural motifs through color and pattern. I love seeing Betsy Ross on the plate!
My adorable dress is from @elizabethwilsondesigns and I`ll send you the link - comment 👗 DRESS

My Ladies` Lounge is where I dream, read, listen to vinyl, create, and gather with girlfriends over bubbly cocktails. It`s also home to my cherished heirlooms, collected treasures, and my well-loved hosting closet.
The room is layered in colors that remind me of a vintage punch bowl—oranges, sunny yellows, and fresh lime greens. Every corner feels like a sweet nod to my childhood, wrapping me in memories of a home that was warm, welcoming, and wonderfully safe.
Thanks for stopping by 👋
