Book excerpt: This cookbook is a compilation of recipes from my multi-ethnic makeup of African American, Native American, German, and French (Creole). Inside you will find old fashioned traditional recipes passed down through the generations from each culture, as I share with you my life as a young girl growing up in Texas. I also share a personal story of my childhood pet rabbit named Bon-Bon, and the things my parents and grandparents taught me about living off the land, to hunting, and the seasons of sowing and reaping. I hope you will enjoy this cookbook as much as I have enjoyed sharing it with you. Hillary Thompson is a mother, evangelist, entrepreneur, author (Wounding Words), inspirational speaker and teacher.
