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.

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 🥂
