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.

The first guest who walks through the front door gets put in charge of the bar.
When someone arrives early to a party, standing around in the kitchen can feel awkward. Instead of me playing bartender all night, I hand the recipe and teach them how to make the welcome cocktail.
It breaks the ice immediately, gives them a purpose, and frees me up to greet everyone else.
Midnight Margarita recipe:
Rim a glass with a lime, then dip the rim into black sugar (I found it at @totalwine).
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add
2 oz tequila
1 oz Cointreau
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz agave syrup
1/2 oz blackberry liquer
Shake for one minute, strain over fresh ice. Garnish with a lime slice. Cheers!

I stood in a resale shop staring at this tray. I couldn`t put it down. But it was tarnished. I thought when would I use it and it`s so ugly.

It’s hosting season and let’s start with a little bowl that does ALOT.
I’ve always loved a tidbit bowl because it’s one of those small things that makes everyday life—and entertaining—a little easier.
Pretty, practical and endlessly useful.
That’s the art of the tidbit bowl.
