Ed
Keenan - Author
Emphasizing the life and lore of the southwest
cowboy some fifty years ago, Ed Keenan captures the colorful details of
this unique desert cowhand and rancher, in historical vignettes, recipes
and poetry. He has,
obviously, been over the trail of which he writes. His poems are laced
with real cowboy humor, but filled with reality and drama of the extremes
that only the desert can provide.
Ed is the author of the
Sold Out book, Cow Chip Poetry--Lies, Lingo an' Lore,
an unusually entertaining collection of thirty-two
original poems that read more like a historical
adventure of gringo cowboys, ranchers and rural folks.
He is currently working on
another book. In the meantime, please enjoy his poems,
stories and recipes below.

Chuckwagon Recipes and Dutch Oven Cookin'
by Ed Keenan
Regarding Origin of Recipes:
Many of the recipes I have
compiled are from the Keenan Klan or were given to me or collected over
the years. Since recipes get collected and passed around over a lifetime,
it may be that I could end up posting somebody’s family original and not
know it. Anytime I knowingly share
someone’s truly original recipe, I am more than
happy to give credit to its creator.
