Mrs. Twist’s Guide to Thanksgiving: Make Pies Your Centerpiece!

Nov 7, 2024 | Holidays

Newsy Tuesday: These three ladies are making my Thanksgiving

Nov 6, 2018 | Holidays

I’m planning my Thanksgiving menu and since I am working more hours this year, I know that I won’t have as much time to cook.  So big news — I’ve hired out my sides and pies!  This is big because not only do I love to cook, but I love my...

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 BROWNIE, and I`ll send you the recipe. My sister taught me this trick of adding a Hershey`s Symphony milk chocolate bar for a surprise, decadent gooey layer. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you`ve got the perfect dessert. So easy!

Make these for your mom, and you`ll move right to the top as the favorite.😊

28 years flew by! The best years of my life have been married to my forever. Marriage is not easy sometimes, but when you`re married to the right person for you, it isn`t hard (trust me, I had hard the first time).

We had an afternoon teaparty themed outdoor wedding at the Fort Worth Botanical Garden. When we booked it, the wedding coordinator said, "You know that`s Mayfest weekend. It will rain." I replied, "Not on my wedding day." It was sunny and 75 degrees!

Parenting, caregiving, retirement - through every chapter we`ve been by each other`s side. I`m so lucky. And very thankful to my sister, who set us up on a blind date!

Lemon Bar Recipe 🍋🍋🍋 comment LEMON, and I`ll send you the recipe!

This is one of my go-to treats for wedding and baby showers, and really, anytime I want a tart and sweet bite of lemon curd. And they are so pretty on a cake plate.

This is my sister`s recipe, and I`ve been baking them since I was about ten years old. I`ve never tried any other recipe because hers are perfect!

Do you love lemon bars like I do?
