Introduction
After Grandma Jones (Vernon Beatrice Goss Jones) passed away in 2003, her children and many of the grandchildren got together to share recipes and memories of her life. They were gathered in a small cookbooklet, Grandma Jones’ Kitchen.
Keeping her memories alive, the family still shares stories about her and still make many of the dishes that they recall from the past. In the spirit of sharing her life, here is an updated version of the previous printed volume.
A new book is out, Fat and Sassy, telling stories of Bea’s life in a fictional tale. Included at the end, are the first two chapters to share the flavor of Fat and Sassy with you.
We hope you enjoy some of the recipes and tales told here.

One quart orange juice
Five bananas (blended)
One can pineapple juice
One quart lime soda or ginger ale
