Mediterranean Fish Bake
I am trying to incorporate more fish in our evening suppers, so when I came across this recipe from An Oregon Cottage via Pinterest I thought it would be really yummy. And, I was right. It brought me back to my trip-of-a-lifetime to Turkey last summer (which I...My Favorite Meatloaf
I was on Pinterest the other night and pinned a meatloaf recipe from Campbells Soup — Onion-Crusted Meatloaf with Roasted Potatoes. I made it last night for dinner. OMG. Best meatloaf I have ever made or eaten. Period. Ingredients: 1 1/2...Homemade Vegetable Soup
Rain and cooler weather blew in yesterday making it the perfect night for a big pot of soup. Here’s the recipe. We made Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits to go with it. 2 1/2 TBL olive oil 1 1/2 cups of chopped yellow onion 2 cups peeled and chopped...Mr. Bee’s Awesome Sauce
You know how you purge your cookbooks every once in a while? Well, I think in one of our three moves in our 17 year marriage I donated one of Mr. Bee’s cookbooks. It was one of those cookbooks that looks like it was typed on a typewriter. It...
You will eat three bowls of this soup!
I have been really lucky with Pinterest recipes lately. Mr. Bee had a cold and I thought a good chicken soup would make him feel better. It wasn’t the cool 60s weather I would prefer, but at least it was cloudy which gave the illusion it was...
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 LINKS, and I`ll send you the shopping sources for my nautical themed tablescape. While a few things are new to me, most are vintage or from my party pantry.
Setting the table is one of my favorite things to do. But, I do try to make it "simply elegant" and do as much as I can the day before, so setting my table can be my single focus.
The shell topiaries are from Mr. Twist`s 60th birthday a few years ago. They`re Styrofoam balls with a variety of shells hot glued all over set on top of wicker planters. Then I scattered a few sizes of starfish on the table, with bowls of salt water taffy to nibble on after dinner.
The wicker pitcher is a Walmart find. I placed a mason jar filled with hydrangeas down inside it. And added a few pieces of blue saliva from my garden.
Let me know what your favorite thing is about the table. 👇👇

Setting the table - part one. I chose a nautical theme for my al fresco poolside party. Seashells, seagrass placemats, bamboo flatware, red, blue, and white. A lovely tablescape is a gift for my guests. Something to catch their eye and make them feel welcomed.
Nothing has to match. It doesn`t need to be new. My table is a small token of appreciation that my guests chose ME to spend the evening with.
Host with intention, not perfection.

😎😎 I`m in my June era! I`ll be honest - the summer is not my favorite season. Here in Texas, it gets super hot. The mosquitoes are big enough to carry you off. But - there are some fun things to make up for it!!
Like picking 🌻sunflowers, making yummy BLTs with garden 🍅 tomatoes, displaying your shell 🐚 collection, and hosting a nautical outdoor dinner party. 🦞
