Try it Tuesday: Crispy Garlic Butter Smashed Sweet Potatoes
This is a keeper recipe I just discovered from Cafe Delites for crispy garlic butter smashed sweet potatoes. There’s a little more effort into these than just baking sweet potatoes, but trust me they are so worth it! As Mr. Bee and I were eating them with our...
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.

Ever dreamed of spending an entire month wandering through blueberry fields, savoring buttery lobster rolls, and chasing lighthouse sunsets along the coast?
I’m packing my “Maine Girl” bag and heading to my favorite place for The Merry Month of Maine! I managed an inn here for two magical seasons, and this year I’m going back just for fun — and I want you to come along.
From picnics by the sea to small-town strolls and everything in between, I`ll share every charming moment. And guess what? If you comment MAINE, I’ll mail you a postcard straight from Vacationland! 💙✨
So, who’s ready to breathe in the salty air, taste the wild blueberries, and live the slow, sweet Maine life with me? Let’s make August unforgettable together.

Ready to turn your guest room into a five-star retreat? ✨
From spa-fresh towels to a sweet bedside bouquet, it’s the little touches that make your guests feel cherished (and maybe never want to leave 😉). Think chargers for the forgetful, lavender for the dreamers, snacks for the midnight munchers, and a framed WiFi password for instant connection.
Hospitality isn’t about perfection — it’s about thoughtfulness. A cozy welcome, a stocked snack tray, and a sense that you truly see your guests.
Save this checklist for your next house guest, and let me know: Which detail do you think makes the biggest impact? 💌
🍑🍑 Comment PEACH, and I`ll send you the recipe for Spicy Peach Margaritas.
These are so good and take advantage of summer`s delicious seasonal peaches. The secret is the @tajinusa chile-lime seasoning on the rim.
We paired these with habanero mango smoked pork tenderloin, Cathy`s orange rice a la @cathywmcintosh, and grilled pineapple. The perfect summer supper!
I don`t think I will ever drink margaritas any other way!🍑🍑🍑🍑
Oh, and my vintage anchor necklace is from @ladybugvintage.
