Coffee With A Little Spice Of Life
Devotional Recipe Book
By: Patricia Aman

This Devotional Recipe book is just about life. In this book, you will hopefully remember sitting at your grandmother’s, momma’s, or families table eating some old fashion recipes, and it will hopefully bring back a time when life was not so hurried. A time when you played in the yard. Chased lightening bugs and put them in an old mason jar with holes in the lid. Maybe even sit on the front porch as the sun went down in the sky, and you watched the beautiful stars of heaven shine.

About the Author

Thanks and dedication

I want to thank God for allowing me to honor him first and foremost. Each time he allows me to pick up my pen to share His word with others, is a true blessing.

I cannot tell my husband and daughters how much I love them for all they do to support me.

They tell me often, that they are proud of me for using the talents, God has given to me.

I dedicate this book to the loving memory of my Mother, Fannie Mae Wade Hunter.

Thank you for sharing Jesus with me, not only in word, but in action.

Because you knew Jesus as your personal Savior and Friend, I know I now have Him in my life for my children to see.

I also dedicate this book in Honor to my sister, Ruby Marie Hunter Ratcliff.

Your love, support and strength have been a blessing. You have and continue to be an inspiration for each individual you touch.

(Nehemiah 8:10)

The Joy Of The Lord, Is Your Strength.

(Proverbs 17:22)

A Merry Heart Does Good, Like Medicine, But A Broken Spirit Dries The Bones.

Sharing God’s Word, And A Cup Of Coffee With A Friend…What A Way To Start Your Day… Quote: Pat Aman

I tell everyone I was born a Louisiana Cajun with a little spice.

Raised as a Georgia Peach so I would be a little sweet and nice.

But I married a North Carolina Tarheel who made my life just right.

So, I guess you can say, She is a little bit of everything.

I pray that each of you enjoy and keep this daily word and recipe book near your heart and kitchen. There will be scriptures, a few quotes and thoughts that have helped me in my life, spicy recipes, and as stated above, a little bit of everything.

In this book, you will hopefully remember sitting at your grandmother’s, momma’s, or families table eating some old fashion recipes, and it will hopefully bring back a time when life was not so hurried. A time when you played in the yard. Chased lightening bugs and put them in an old mason jar with holes in the lid. Maybe even sit on the front porch as the sun went down in the sky, and you watched the beautiful stars of heaven shine.

If by chance, this book reaches deep down inside of you, and brings a smile to your face, and maybe a tear of happiness, then I know that God has been glorified by allowing me to share with you.

I will try to make the recipes easier for you by giving you the correct measurements. But, I learned them by watching and listening. You added a pinch of this and a handful of that, and a little extra by using your imagination.

Que le bon Dieu vous benit

May the good Lord bless you

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
