From Granny's Kitchen

Everyone who met Granny was captivated by her

kindness and love. She showcased her love for others

by spending countless hours in her kitchen. Over the

years, her recipes became the fabric of her family. This

compilation of recipes (hers and passed down from her

family) is an homage to the legacy she left in every life

she touched.



Wanda Violet Adkins Wooten Dean was born December

28, 1927, in Wayne County, West Virginia. She was

the daughter of Verlin and Rita Adkins and had three

sisters and one brother. She loved her four children, two

husbands, 10 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren

more than anything in this world. When she wasn't

working or spending time with her family, she enjoyed

cooking, traveling, and watching television (most notably,

Food Network and court-case shows).



She is our eternal Guardian Angel.
