Free 28-Day Gratitude Journal

Happy November 1st!  We are entering my favorite time of the year when the focus is on food, family, and merry-making. I love to journal, especially around Thanksgiving. However, I realize not everyone has the time or energy to dive into an in-depth journaling...

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.

🌲SAVE for later - Rosemary Gin Fizz! 🌲

You will love this cocktail. 👉 Be sure to look at my previous reel on how to make Rosemary Simple Syrup. It's the co-star in this cocktail.

Makes one cocktail:
1/4 cup gin
1 TBL fresh lemon juice
1 TBL rosemary simple syrup
2 TBL POM Pomegranate Juice
Topo Chico (I prefer the one with lime)

Pour ice in a cocktail shaker. Add all the above except Topo Chico. 

Shake for a few seconds. Strain over a cocktail glass filled half-way with ice.

Pour a little Topo Chico on the top then sip and enjoy. You can add a garnish of rosemary and cranberries for a festive touch.

Be sure to check out Catherine White Art
and her beautiful set of reusable Christmas cups.

🌲Rosemary Simple Syrup🌲. Such a simple way to add another level to your cocktails. You can keep a jar of the syrup in your refrigerator for several weeks. 

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 sprig of rosemary

Mix sugar and water and stir on stove until sugar dissolves and mixture is heated not boiling. Add a sprig of rosemary, take off heat, cover with lid and allow syrup to cool completely. Then pour into a jar or bottle. 

And you must have a set of gorgeous Christmas cups from @catherinewhite.art. A set of six makes a perfect hostess gift.

I'll share my favorite cocktail tomorrow using this syrup. Cheers!

When you're out shopping for your Christmas tree or poinsettias ask if you can have a few pine sprigs for your decor. I created this centerpiece for less than $5 with a few oranges, a bag of clementines and a few faux green apples. It's edible, colorful and inviting. Have fun creating!

It's dip season! Save the trouble of defrosting frozen spinach and squeezing out the water. Just use fresh spinach. 

A 10-oz box of frozen spinach is equivalent to 1 1/2 cups of spinach after draining which is roughly what you get from a 10-oz package of fresh spinach! 

SAVE for later.

Each dish I prepare for others is more than just a meal; it's a heartfelt gift, a tangible representation of love and appreciation.

It fills my heart with joy that our togetherness in the kitchen, emphasizes how the act of cooking collectively strengthens bonds and fosters a sense of community.

Holidays like Thanksgiving also bring me closer to my mother who exemplified gracious living.

👉 Pro tip - for wooden stems always split the stem at the base so the leaves can take in water. Happy Thanksgiving week!

2 beaten eggs

Combine all of the ingredients and pour into a buttered 9×13 dish.

Top with the following mixture:

A must is @thedirdiebirdie in The Domain Austin. We had so much fun sipping bubbly while we played indoor golf then enjoyed a delicious lunch in their restaurant. What a fun holiday party idea! They also have a great happy hour with drink discounts.

Amazon wedding outfit! Most everything I wore came from Amazon making it super affordable! 

I wanted a 70s vibe and this $40 faux wrap chiffon dress fit the bill. I loved carrying my mother's vintage gold bag. Comment WEDDING and I'll send you the shopping link!

Words sting and can't be taken back. This week choose kindness and compassion for others. Most importantly try not to listen to the voices that say you don't matter. Because you do matter. You are loved. What people think about you is none of your business.❤

Pinch me! I'm still thinking about my dinner with Wendy @chairwhimsy. Greeted with margaritas at the door (my favorite hostess tip) then a tour of her nothing but magical Victorian home I loved how she made her guests (most of us strangers) feel welcomed! Isn't that the true meaning of hospitality?

Enchiladas al fresco under the stars with the backdrop of @austinsharpist
playing Adele, my bestie @juberh and I chatted with fan girls who think Wendy is as cool as we do.

We finished the night with pralines and shortbread cookies and left with swag bags designed by her daughter (see my stories).

Be sure to give @chairwhimsy a follow because she has something pretty special coming up. Oh, and I got to touch the Taylor Swift Lover chair!
