My Turkish Delight

Sep 16, 2015 | Lovely Things

Mr. Bee and I had the chance of a lifetime to take a trip to Turkey this summer for my work. It was amazing — A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. While I really enjoyed the people, the scenery and the history of the country, the highlight of the trip was the food. We stayed in...

Cake Boss Mixes — Are they Buzzworthy?

Sep 14, 2015 | (Things that are Buzzworthy)

I love to bake so when I find a ready made cake mix I like to see if they can come close to homemade. When I was in Michael’s recently, I saw that the beloved Buddy from Cake Boss had a line of mixes and icing. I bought the yellow cake mix and the...

Pocket Full of Sunshine

Jul 10, 2015 | (Growing Faith)

These lovelies are growing in my flowerbeds. Profuse petals of sunshine. It’s all my Daddy’s doing. He loved sunflowers. Probably from his time of having a farm as a “hobby.” He’d plant seeds in the backyard and...

The Buzz on CanvasPop

Jun 3, 2015 | (Things that are Buzzworthy)

My friends at CanvasPop contacted me asking if I would be interested in receiving a canvas with their compliments. The timing was perfect because our family had just had photos taken in the Texas Bluebonnets back in April (before all the rain started). The...

My Orange Crush

May 29, 2015 | Lovely Things

This is my story about one of the greatest cats I’ve ever known — Hobbes. In his short time with me, he had become a good friend. He went to heaven today and I know made a lot of Saints smile when he swept past Jesus with his cool...

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 🥂
