Kennon's Recipes
Welcome to my Recipe Page!
You welcome here. I like quick and easy recipes mostly but occasionally
will try one more complicated.
I enjoy recipes that you can throw together quickly and easily.
I like to improvise and use things that I might have on hand. Sometimes
you can come up with some surprisingly good recipes that way and then
again %$#!!!. Might taste like you know what. But in any case, "Nothing
ventured nothing gained."
When my mother, Ethel passed away a couple of years ago she left me her
favorite recipes. I will try to put a few of them on this site and from
time to time some of the more interesting ones that I might run across.
