Book Cover & Preview Text
Each person has unique abilities, talents, weaknesses, strengths, faults and frailties. This truth became clear to me then when I was given the privilege of becoming a parent. , I truly believe that being a parent helps us to gain a more accurate understanding of how our Father in heaven feels about us; loving without conditions, through good and bad decisions. I believe parents should be able to support their children through it all, using even the bad situations as a teaching experience; just as Christ does with us.

About the Book
Leaving a legacy was something discussed in our last Bible study that really spoke to my heart. I don’t think legacy necessarily has to be an extravagant monetary inheritance. For me, I wanted to leave my daughter something from my heart that I am hopeful she will carry in her heart forever.
This book is about my beginnings… as a Christian, a wife, mother, step-mother, and aspiring Chef. We’re all given gifts to use purposefully in this life and I’ve chosen to use mine to show love, build bonds and cultivate relationships. I am currently enrolled in the culinary program at Fairmont State University with the hopes of completing my education to become a Chef. These recipes are successful experiments, each with a memory attached.
This is the legacy I’m choosing to leave to my daughter. I’ve used opportunities in the kitchen as a classroom of sorts to teach, guide and create memories to cherish. We all love food and God has blessed me with the ability to prepare it well and love doing it. About seven years ago, a seed was planted in my heart to pursue my dream and I began praying about it. I believe my answer was given to me two years ago when my desire to publish this book formed.
About the Author
Theresa A. Hill is a lifelong resident West Virginia. She grew up in the small town of Clarksurg where she was raised by a single mother after her older brother and two sisters were grown. Theresa's father was killed in an automobile accident when she was only three years old, so she grew up missing an important element in her life. As a result, she has faced and overcome many challenging circumstances in her life.
Through the process she has gained wisdom and an appreciation for life, love, and family. Although some of her circumstances could have become an excuse for failure, she chose a different path. She prayerfully seeks God's leading in her life, and this book was written out of her obedience to His answers to those prayers.
Theresa is most happy in the kitchen using her unique talents to create innovative culinary works of art. She pours her heart into the passion God has given her, and she humbly seeks to give Him all the praise and glory.
