Orange Slice Candy Cake
Over the holiday I tried a new recipe for cake using those sugared, orange slice candies that have been in stores for a hundred years (probably the same exact bags have been hanging there for hundred years on the display). I don’t know why, but I am...Banana Caramel Poke Cake
Church ladies know how to cook, especially when they are charged with the task of preparing for a “covered dish” luncheon. Our group of ladies made a dessert I saw on Pinterest — Banana Caramel Poke Cake. Basically, you take a boxed...
Kickin’ it Old School — Toll House Pie
Yesterday was the perfect day to bake. It was cloudy and rainy and I was hungry for pie. I am not a pie person. I am more into cake. When presented with a dessert buffet, pie is usually not my go-to dessert. That’s interesting because...Campfire Cookies
In a recent slew of Pinterest fails, I am happy that I have found a pin-worthy recipe to share. I am so glad this recipe for Campfire cookies didn’t blow. What intrigued me about this cookie recipe was the key ingredient — mini marshallow...
My Easter Miracle Banana Pudding
Holy cow. This recipe for banana pudding is the bomb. I’ve made it before, but it has been awhile. I had forgotten how good it is. Paula calls it “Not Yo’ Mama’s Banana Pudding.” I prefer Easter Miracle...
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 PORCH and vibes will be delivered! I`ve curated a mix of tunes I know you`ll love - part nostalgic from what I grew up listening to, and some new favorites.
There`s nothing better than a cold drink in your hand, a sunset view, and a melody that reminds you of a memory.
Comment TEA, and I`ll DM you the directions and adorable sun tea dispenser that includes the sign to hang on the jar!
In the south, we LOVE our tea, and I think tea steeped in the sun is the best way to brew it. I added fresh mint to the jar to infuse while it warmed in the sun.
The BIG question - Do you like your tea sweet or unsweetened? Tell me below👇
🌸Comment SIMMER for two recipes - one for spring and one for fall - that I`ll send to your DM.🌸
Simmer pots are a fun and easy way to freshen your home using citrus and herbs from your garden - like rosemary, thyme, mint, and lavender. Just add to water and keep it on a low simmer. I especially like to do this on the day I am planning a dinner with friends.
Important: Never ever leave your simmer pot unattended or leave the cooktop on when you leave the house. Always check your water level and add more as you need to. Keep out of reach from pets and children as the water is extremely hot
