Fresh from the Garden Cucumber Dill Dip
Summer brings a bounty of colorful, scent-filled delight from our garden. I am so grateful for all the rain we had in the months of May and June because it has yielded a gorgeous landscape. I will share my bumper crop Zinnia garden soon, but today we are talking dill!...

Shirley Temple Cake
Looking through Pinterest recently, I found a recipe from Tastes of Lizzy T for a Shirley Temple Cake! I loved this iconic drink when I was little. Mother and Daddy would order me this mocktail to enjoy as they visited with their friends over dinner. I always felt...

Now that we can start safely hosting small groups of friends, I love to find different recipes that delight the senses — bright colors in the fruit and vegetables, and the scent of lavender, citrus, mint, and rosemary, and the taste buds, too. Lavender is...
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.
Mrs. Twist Takes on Instagram
Gorgeous day spent putting my hands in dirt, removing the old and planting the new. Hearing the birds sing and knowing they are doing the same to prepare nests for their tiny eggs. I can`t wait to see what blooms!
I`ve got several YouTube videos on how to use galvanized tubs for plants and vegetables if you`re interested in learning. Comment GARDEN, and I`ll send you the link to my channel.
Our favorite spring activity in Fort Worth is the annual Butterflies in the Garden exhibit in the Rainforest Conservatory at the Fort Worth Botanical Garden.
The seasonal event features a diverse collection of exotic butterflies from around the world. It truly is magical to walk among these beautiful creatures and be up so close to see their coloring!
Visit the @fortworthbotanicgarden to learn more and purchase your tickets - which includes access to the grounds - before the exhibit ends April 14.
My sweet Mr. Twist. Here`s how we met...
My sister and her friend set us up on a blind date. He left a few messages saying he`d like to meet, and I ignored them because I was seeing someone else. But my sister said I was being rude and needed to call him back.
Reluctantly, I did call him, and I told him that I wasn`t interested, but I`d be his friend and help him make a love connection with someone else, like a networking opportunity.
Since it wasn`t technically a "date," he showed up dressed like a lumber jack. He wasn`t too thrilled about my three cats looking him over. After dinner, when he dropped me off, he almost ran over me with his car. He (much later) told me he thought I was high maintenance, and I thought he was a seriel killer because his car was way too clean.
Needless to say, about a month later, I changed my mind, dumped the guy I was seeing, and fell in love with Mr. Twist. After my very sad and lonely first marriage, Mr. Twist was the gift my heart and soul needed.
We`ll celebrate 28 years of marriage in May, and it`s been the best years of my life.
