Sarah Maddox Watercolor Art

Jul 14, 2017 | Lovely Things

Comment FAMILY and I`ll send you the link to submit your recipe.

Some of the most treasured recipes aren`t found in cookbooks—they`re tucked inside handwritten recipe cards, passed from one generation to the next, and seasoned with stories.

Today, I`m inviting you to share one of yours.

I`m creating a new series where I`ll step into my kitchen and prepare family recipes submitted by this wonderful community. But I don`t just want the recipe...I want the story behind it.

✨ Who shared it with you? ✨ When do you make it? ✨ Why does it still have a place at your table?

I`ll choose recipes to recreate, share your family`s story, and give you full credit when I feature it on my Instagram and Home with a Twist.

If you have a recipe that`s become part of your family`s legacy, I`d be honored to help preserve it.

I can`t wait to read your stories and bring them to life—one treasured recipe at a time.

Hi, I`m Melissa 👋

I`ve spent 40+ years gathering people around tables, and somewhere along the way I learned the secret: it was never about the china pattern or the perfect recipe. It was about making someone feel like they belonged at your table.

I mix Dollar Tree finds with my grandmother`s dishes. I use grocery store flowers and light a candle and call it done. I created a whole room in my house just for puzzles and cocktails and long phone calls with girlfriends.

If you`re the person who WANTS to host but keeps waiting until everything is perfect… pull up a chair. That`s exactly why I`m here.

I`m here to help you host with ease and confidence. Follow along for heirloom recipes, real hosting tips, and the occasional cocktail before dinner because… why not?

Comment HOST and I`ll send you my free Dinner Party Planner to get you started 🥂
