Valentine’s Day — The Dish on Candy
Behind Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day is my second most favorite holiday. I love red, pink and white. I love valentine cards. The last tip I suggested was on how to make your lips pretty for kissing.

I had one of the most restful Christmas seasons I can recall in a long time. I cut way back on commitments and running around. I only spent $50 on new Christmas decor — a doormat and a cute Santa for the front porch table. I re...Need a dessert for a Christmas Party?
The Black Russian Bundt Cake recipe my neighbor shared with me is the bomb. Easy to make and especially pretty if you have a decorative bundt pan. Several years ago I purchased this Nordic Bundt pan shaped like Christmas trees: Be sure to grease and spray...
Dressing – not just for eating
Each year, at Thanksgiving, I plan two things: First, reading magazines and cookbooks for a new cornbread dressing to make, and the second, how to dress my table for the big day. In the south we don’t stuff our turkeys, so we call it dressing. ...
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.

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!
P.S. my adorable top is from @tuliptopco

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.
