Pucker Up for the Best Lemon Bars
My co-worker “Hey, Donna” has a fab lemon tree and she is nice enough to share her bountiful crop of lemons with us. She even makes lemon marmalade — I know — and she gave me a jar! I can’t wait to slather it on a toasted English...
Soft Ginger Cookies
Several years ago when Miss Bee and my Goddaughter were finishing their 6th grade confirmation class at church, they were asked to come up with a mission project that would serve the community. They both love to bake and thought they could combine their interest...
Blast from the Past — Sock it to me Cake
I was lunching with my sister-in-law recently trying to think of a dessert to take to a party. Something different, yet familiar. I am not sure how we got on the subject of a Sock it To Me cake, but she thought that would be fun and something I could blog...
Yummy Pumpkin Scones
Every once in a while I come across a great recipe on Pinterest. This recipe for Pumpkin Scones is a copycat from the Starbucks version. The original recipe is from Cooking Classy. I’ve got tons of great recipes pinned for Breads and Muffins. These scones...
Pucker Up for Limoncello Cupcakes
Thanks to A Night Owl Blog for posting the most delicious Limoncello Cupcake recipe. My friend (and trusted CPA) Mrs. Schumacher brought me back the cutest bottle of Limoncello from Italy. I think she wanted to help me redeem my efforts when I made...
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.
