Here’s Kenny’s story

At a young age, Kenny developed a passion for food, learning from his mom and finding joy in cooking for his sister. Food, to Kenny, embodies life, love, and health. However, at the age of 25, kidney failure changed everything, landing him in dialysis.

“This experience sparked my journey into understanding the importance of healthy eating habits and the benefits of a whole food-based diet,” he writes on his website. “These experiences laid the foundation for Kenny’s Meals.”

What started as preparing meals for himself evolved into a business driven by a mission to provide healthy, affordable, and delicious meals imbued with love, respect, and passion.

In 2021, a remarkable turn of events occurred when his cousin, Doris Fernandez, generously donated her kidney to Kenny.

“Her selflessness not only saved my life but reinforced the significance of familial bonds and the power of nourishment,” he said.

“Kenny’s Meals isn't just about food; it's about nurturing both body and soul. We believe in the adage, ‘You are what you eat," emphasizing the importance of nourishing oneself with the best foods available.

An experienced chef, Kenny consistently found himself meal prepping for his workout buddies. “My friends needed meals, and I knew how to make them,” Kenny said. Out of his home kitchen, he eventually prepared meals for them, leading him to do so for 20 people in a matter of weeks.
