Recently, Ken went shopping at the #grocerystore where they had #bananas and #bananabread mix on sale. Having already done a video on banana bread, Ken decided to give the mix a try while also doing a #quickandeasy #nochurn #icecream. This is perfect for the #summertime or whenever you want a sweet treat. So, follow Ken as he makes his quick & easy no churn banana ice cream! Thank you for watching! Please remember to like, share, comment, and subscribe. It really helps the channel! KEN'S QUICK & EASY NO CHURN BANANA ICE CREAM 4 c. Frozen Over-Ripe Banana Pieces 14 oz. can Sweetened Condensed Milk 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract 1 pt. Heavy Whipping Cream In a large blender, puree all of the ingredients together. Place into a 2-gallon sized zip top bag or equally separate the ice cream out into smaller portioned zip top bags of your chosen size. Flatten out and place in a freezer. Every hour or so, knead the ice cream in the bag until will frozen and stiff. Serve as you would any other ice cream. (TIP: For a smoother version of this recipe, puree regular, unfrozen bananas and run them through a fine mesh sieve. Mix the sieved bananas, condensed milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Using an immersion blender, pour a pint of cold heavy whipping cream into a large bowl. Bring the cream to soft peaks. Add in the banana mixture and bring to stiff peaks. Portion out as before. Because the bananas are not frozen, your wait time will increase by an hour or more; but you will be greatly rewarded with a softer, more airy, velvety smooth ice cream.)

In a previous video, Ken went #fishing a new spot with his wife. During that #fishingtrip, his #minnkota #edge45 #trollingmotor went out on him. So, after ordering some parts from @Fish307 , Ken then got with his good buddy Ricky Wallace, from the @wallaceknifeworkshomestead channel (please check his channel out on YouTube), to make the necessary repairs. As with all of these #doityourself #repair and #fixit videos, neither Ken or Ricky are licensed and trained mechanics. This is not a #howto video but rather #howidoit video documenting what transpired. Ken fixed his Minn Kota Edge 45 trolling motor...and you can too! The processes used in this video should be good for most trolling motors. Thank you for watching! Please like, share, comment, and subscribe. It really helps the channel.

Ken and his wife just love to go #kayakfishing. Well...that's not true. Ken's wife likes to go #kayaking while Ken likes to go #fishing. Either way, both enjoy themselves. And, from time to time, people will want to go with them that have rarely, if ever, kayaked before. On this particular trip, they enlisted their #TikToker friend, Josh, to help out. Along the way, the guys went #creekfishing for #bream #largemouthbass and more while everyone else had a good time chatting, swimming, eating, etc. So, join Ken and come along for the ride on his mid-August Kayak Creek Fishing Adventure!

There is a social media craze on #tiktok and elsewhere involving turning #hotdogs into #burntends. Naturally, these are #mock burnt ends since no brisket is involved. Realizing most people either do not have access to burnt ends, and even more cannot afford them; Ken decided to revise this #trending #recipe to develop something new and to get a little extra #budgetfriendly #bbq into your diet. He calls these the "poor working man's burnt ends" and they are meant to be a better take on TikTok's hotdog burnt ends craze by using cocktail #sausage. Thank you for watching!

In the #summer we all like to #grill and #cookout. For Ken, anytime is a good time for #smoked meat. Recently, frozen #turkey went on #sale at the #grocerystore. Using his daddy's #smoker, he takes this #budgetfriendly bird and turns it into quality #barbeque. If you can put out of your mind that turkey is only good for #histhanksgiving, and see it as a quality protein that can be eaten at any time of the year, smoking turkey truly is a great way to same money without compromising on flavor or quality. If you smoke it with Chinese Tallow Tree (aka Popcorn Tree), it'll taste even better! So, give this summertime Southern smoked turkey roast a try. It's not just for Thanksgiving! #cooking #cookingvideo #smokedmeats #smokedturkey KEN'S GENERAL POULTRY BRINE: Water & Ice 2c. Salt 1/4 c. Sugar 4 Bay Leaves 1/8 c. Herbes de Provence 1/8 c. Dehydrated Minced Onions Boil 8 cups of water with all of the ingredients for 3 minutes. Turn off and let sit for 15-20 minutes to cool a bit. In a clean 5-gallon bucket (rated for food and which has a lid), pour in 1 1/2 gallons of water and ice (about 50/50 water to ice). Pour in the hot brine solution. Rinse out the pot with about 2 cups of ice cold water. Add in your bird. Cover with a food-safe weight an lid. Flip the bird over half-way. Always brine your birds somewhere between a minimum of 8 hours and no more than 24 hours. Usually, a soak of 1 hour for every pound of individual bird is sufficient. If doing multiple birds, figure the average weight per bird to calculate the soak time. KEN'S COMPOUND BUTTER FOR POULTRY: 2 Sticks Salted Butter, Room Temperature 1 tsp. Ranch Powder 1 tsp Cavender's Greek Seasoning 1 tsp. Granulated Garlic 1 tbsp. Onion Powder 1/4 tsp. Cayenne Powder Mix ingredients in a bowl, place onto parchment paper, roll up, tighten the ends like candy to form a log. Let sit in the refrigerator a minimum of 8 hours before slicing into coins to place between the skin of the bird and its flesh for smoking, grilling, baking, or other cooking application.

This video was a hard one to title. Were we going to call it something like "Fishing a New Spot" or were we going to call it "Snake Bit: The Sequel," so we decided both so you can see a more fuller picture of what goes on behind the scenes. Yes, there will be a catch and cook! When Ken planned this #fishingvideo, he had in mind going to a new #fishing spot and filming him attempting to catch #bass, #sunfish (#bluegill and #shellcracker mainly), maybe #crappie, #catfish, and more. Sadly, a hurricane and two weeks of non-stop #rain and #thunderstorm started a series of unfortunate events that still going on as we publish this video. Even the #catchandcook was impacted! We guarantee, this video will be very relatable to the average angler! Thank you for watching. Please like, share, comment, and subscribe. It really helps out the channel!

Sometimes, Ken likes to do videos on how to cook a dish. Other times, he does videos on how to do a certain technique. The latter is the case this time where he makes a #fried #sweetpotato #gnocchi and uses it to make do both a savory and a sweet #gnocchirecipe. However, as Ken states, the purpose is not to show how to make it but rather show you an idea on how to turn gnocchi on its ear using not only sweet potatoes but pumpkin, carrots, parsnips, and more rather than just potatoes.

In this video, Ken shows his unique take on the #Southern #classic of #biscuitsandgravy. Instead of #tomatogravy, Ken does a variant his mama taught him using cream of #mushroom #soup.

If you have ever been to a #NativeAmerican tribal event, you know just how good fire roasted sweet corn can be! In this video, Ken draws from his tribal heritage to make a version of #roasted #corn (se-lu) that the #homecook can easily make. In particular, he adapts the soaking liquid so that it doesn't use a traditional herb commonly used at #powwow and other #tribal events for #fire roasted #sweetcorn. In this video, Ken alludes to a blueberry, cream cheese, and pecan pie video he previously did. You can find that video here: https://youtu.be/m8OtOXhsHFE?si=aQm9z9xgFwhDje5s Thank you for watching! Please remember to like, share, comment, and subscribe. It all greatly helps the channel! KEN'S FIRE ROASTED SWEET CORN 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 gal. Water 12-18 ears Sweet Corn (in husks) 2 c. Sugar 1/8 c. Sea Salt 1 oz. Allspice, Ground 1/2 tsp. @McCormickVideos Peppercorn Medley Grinder 1/8 to 1/2 tsp. Cloves, Ground (to taste) 1 tbsp. Vanilla Extract 1 tbsp. Monosodium Glutamate (optional) Bring the water to a boil. Add in the sugar, salt, allspice, cloves, pepper, and optional MSG. Let boil about 3 minutes before turning off and adding the vanilla extract. Let the liquid cool. Trim the end of the corn ear at the stalk end so that there is an opening for the liquid to run up the stem and the cob without removing too many husks. (NOTE: In the video, Ken used a 2 gallon zip top bag and was forced to trim off more corn than he generally likes. He notes that you can place the corn in 5 gallon buckets. Alternatively, you can use vacuum sealed bags to speed up the process and create a storage container that fits your corn rather than trying to fit the corn into a storage container. The vacuum sealed bags are preferred.) Pour the liquid over the ears to where they are submerged in the liquid. (NOTE: If not using a vacuum sealed bag, or zip top bag, you may need to place a weight on the corn.) Let the corn sit in a cooler for a minimum of 8 hours with 48 hours being ideal. Remove the corn from the liquid and grill over low coals until the corn husks are a chocolate color. (NOTE: If you are afraid of the corn not being cooked through, you can forego the soaking process and just boil the corn in the liquid. This isn't preferred and the flavor will not be the same. Ken also suggests that this might be an ideal situation for a gas #grill. Ken hates a #gasgrill, but in this circumstance you would be able to control the heat more evenly. Moreover, you could place some wood shavings in a piece of aluminum foil to create the smoky flavor needed.) After the corn is cooked, shuck them by teasing the corn silks in half. Pull all the way down one side and then pull down the other side. Almost all of the silks are going to be gone with this process. Dip the corn cob in melted salted butter and use the stalk end and husks, wrapped with aluminum foil, as a handle to eat the corn.

In the #summer we all like to #grill and #cookout. For Ken, anytime is a good time for #smoked meat. Using his daddy's #smoker, he takes a common #chuckroast and treats it like a #brisket. As Ken states, this is not a replacement or substitute for brisket. Rather, Ken notes that the prices of chuck roast will soon begin to drop with the summer causing a glut in the marketplace. When the prices drop, Ken's method is an approachable way you can take any grill or smoker and cook multiple roasts to be frozen and enjoyed later. This is truly a #budgetfriendly #hack to same money without compromising on flavor or quality. So, give this summertime smoked chuck roast a try! #cooking #cookingvideo #smokedmeats TABLE OF CONTENTS Intro 00:00-01:01 Preparation of the Roast 01:02-07:06 Smoker Time 07:07-17:12 Oven Crutching & Resting 17:13-22:10 Grill Finishing 22:11-24:09 Resting & Carving 24-10-24:41 Outro 24:42-28:22

Roughly a year ago, Ken bought a 2018 RAM 1500 Laramie. As Ken put it, this is the nicest truck he has ever owned. Then, about a few months ago, Ken noticed some issues with the UConnect system. These intermittent issues would usually resolve themselves after an hour or so. Then, one day, the screen went totally dark. Ken found multiply "soft reset" and tricks to try to fix the issue. And, in this video, Ken will talk about these issues in greater detail. However, when nothing worked, Ken had no other choice but to take his truck to the local dealership. Here Sandy Sansing Dodge Jeep Chrysler Ram promised Ken they'd print him out the specific issues wrong with his vehicle. Spoiler alert...they didn't. And, well...you really need to watch the video to get the whole story. So, if you happen to be thinking about purchasing a #Jeep, #RAM, #Chrysler, or #Dodge #vehicle; or maybe you've recently purchased one; this is an important video to watch as Ken discusses the #UConnect display screen issues in his #truck and also the #deplorable #business practices in the Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Chrysler family and their UConnect system. Thank you for watching! Please remember to like, comment, share, and subscribe. All of this really helps out the channel. More specifically, we'd love to hear your comments.

Owning a #fishingboat is never a cheap endeavor. In this video, Ken makes some much needed #repairs to his #boattrailer. Obviously, as one issue crops up, another three will generally arise. For what was supposed to have been a quick and easy 30 minute repair turned out to be multiple day ordeal that ultimately took three months to sort of complete. After all, any boat owner will tell you that nothing is ever complete when it comes to boat or trailer repairs. Thank you for watching! Please remember to like, share, and subscribe.

Usually, Ken is more over-prepared than anything for a #fishingtrip. However, this video was more of a fun #experiment to see if you can use yellow onions to catch catfish. As a result of seeing this not as a true #fishing excursion, maybe Ken didn't put his full attention on making sure everything was ready to go out on the boat...as you will see. Nevertheless, this video is just as the title suggest. It is a fun experiment to see if you can use Spanish (yellow) #onions as #bait to catch #catfish. Naturally, this is not a scientific experiment. However, Ken does use frozen fish bait as a control to judge the performance of the onions. And, true to form, nothing ever goes as planned! Will the onions win out an be the best bait Ken's ever used for setting catfish #bushooks? Or, will this bait idea be a #dud? Watch to find out! As always, we thank you greatly for watching. Please like, share, comment, and subscribe. It really helps the channel. Especially, we'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions on how you like to fish for catfish or what works best for you. If we like the idea, Ken might even do a video giving it a try here in NW Florida where catfish are not that plentiful and hard to catch.

In this video, Ken and Ricky Wallace (from @wallaceknifeworkshomestead ) go on a fishing trip. Their plan is to go fishing down the river for #catfish using #bushhooks (what other places call #banklines). However, nothing ever goes as planned for the guys. During this fishing trip Ken caught one fish on two different rods, a #klingon catfish, and some #poachers! Most people would say the boys had a wild adventure. They just call it a Tuesday. Also on this trip, Ken hooked into a huge fish that broke his extremely heavy weight braided line. You can see the malfunction of his @CadenceFishing Ideal 4000 series reel. Ken has been wanting to do a #kayak #fishingtrip with Ricky for a while. However, Ricky hasn't necessarily been keen on the idea. So, the boys have struck a deal. If you'll give this video 10K likes, Ken will take Ricky out #kayakfishing. However, if Ricky also gets 10k likes on his video (https://youtu.be/n1PmXFEq3wU?si=NHGwH3ns5WyS0kNI), Ricky will go fishing willingly. Thank you for watching!

In this video, Ken takes his mama and niece fishing at his uncle's dock the first week of June 2024. The #fishingtrip appeared to be doomed from the start with a 60% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms all day that day. And, as you will see, they did get rained on. Ken tried his hand at throwing a #castnet the way the YouTube Channel "Ken Loveday" (@KenLoveday70) shows how to do on his channel. Admittedly, this was a short #fishing trip. Afterwards, Ken cleans the haul and makes two dishes from the #fish. One is a #grilled #catfish with #Alabama white #bbqsauce and #cowboy #caviar. The second, Ken went back to old #Florida culinary heritage by butterflying #mullet and smoking them with #waxmyrtle (aka #bayberry) wood to make a #smoked mullet #dip. If you watch @McGieHomesteadAdventures they did a smoked carp video, so Ken wanted to show them how Floridians do smoked mullet. We hope you enjoy this video.

Recently, Eric from the @2guysandacooler YouTube Channel issued a challenge to all sausage makers to create a “Who Dat” sausage recipe in honor of the #NewOrleans #Saints. This is all apart of their channel’s annual #celebratesausage series. While there isn’t necessarily a prize, and Ken really isn’t a fan of team sports, he thought it would be fun to enter the contest for no other reason than bragging rights. So, Ken set about the task of creating a recipe and testing it for what he considered a #WhoDat #sausage to taste like. Is it a contender? I guess you will have to watch Eric and the fine people at 2 Guys and a Cooler to find out! As with any recipe creation and testing, nothing goes as planned. For this recipe, Ken had planned to do the recipe using 30 lbs. of meat. However, with the cost of living driving up food prices, he had to pare down the recipe to do only 5 lbs. The recipe below is for 30 lbs. Please note that Ken uses metric in the recipe. While he is an American, and hates to use metric, it is common practice for sausage makers. Moreover, it is a requirement of the contest to use metric. Thank you for watching! Please comment down below your thoughts.

(48 g) Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) 1 ¼”-1 ½” (32-38 mm) Hog Casings, Cleaned and Soaking in 5% Baking Soda Water Solution In a blender or food processor, puree the onion, bell pepper, and celery with the granulated garlic and toasted sesame seed oil. In a large saucier, bring the mixture to a boil and keep at a high heat boil for five minutes or until the mixture (herewith referred to as “Trinity”) has lost a third of its weight when cooled. Place the Trinity in a large bowl and mix in the toasted flour, whiskey, bitters, absinthe, wine, Vitamin C, worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, liquid crab boil, MSG, sage, herbs de Provence, peppercorn medley, pepper flakes, mustard seeds, bay leaf powder, brown sugar, and salt. Grind the meat on the second to largest round die you have for your grinder (a coarse grind is preferred). Store bought ground meat will also work. At all times, make sure to keep the meat at about 33°F (1°C). Mix the ground meat together for about 1-3 minutes with the curing salt #1 before adding in the bowl with the Trinity and other ingredients. Mix for another 1-3 minutes to incorporate before adding in the milk powder. Never let your sausage get above 50°F (10°C) at any time while mixing. If the mixture seems to be getting too warm, place it in the freezer until it is around 33°F (1°C). When the sausage is thoroughly mixed and sticks to your hand, when held upside down, it is time to stuff the sausage into the casings. Fill the sausage stuffer and place casings on the stuffing horn (NOTE: 88 ft, or 2683 cm, of casings generally is sufficient to do 35 lbs, or 16 kg, of sausage). As you are stuffing, prick out any air holes in the sausage with a sausage pricker, corn on the cob holder, needle, or toothpick. Link the sausages at about 9 inches (23 cm) long each. Uncovered, and on a cooling rack over a sheet tray, place the links into a refrigerator and let set for 18-24 hours. Place the links into a cold smoker (pre-soaked Chinese Tallow Tree wood was used in this recipe but you can use pre-soaked Hickory, Apple, or Pecan wood). Cold smoke the sausages, making sure to wipe off any soot mid-way in the smoking process, until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Place the sausages in an ice water bath to quickly cool them down. With a clean cloth, wipe down the sausages of any soot or debris from the smoker. Preferred cooking of the sausage is on a grill. It is suggested to serve on a butter-toasted, artisanal po boy roll with yellow ball park mustard and a cooked Italian onion and 3-colored bell pepper blend. This sausage would be great for use with most blended game meats as an alternative base meat.

In a previous video, Ken mentioned his wife was out of town riding side by sides with her family. Around this time, his goddaughter and friend said they'd never been #kayaking and wanted to go. So, that's what Ken did! In this video, the trio goes out to #kayak at a local #marshland area and #bay. Along the way, Ken does a little #kayakfishing using the new @YUMBAITS #hellgrammite #softplastic #bait in Copper Creek color. Ken calls this bait, rigged in his special way, nothing short of #redfish candy! Expect a future #fishing #video where Ken shows how he rigs this #YUMBaits #fishinglure. For this trip, Ken was using his trusty @PelicanSportVideos #Catch Classic 100. Heaven was using a @Vibekayaks Yellowfin 100. Marissa was using the @seastreamkayaks769 Openwater 12' kayak.

Just a quick and fun #Shorts video I made while working on an upcoming #fishing video.

In a previous #kayakfishing video, Ken was talking about how his @PelicanSportVideos #Catch Classic 100 #fishing #kayak was giving him weathercocking issues. Weathercocking is when wind, water currents, and other elements causes a vessel not to run true. In that video, he talked about a trolling motor being a solution. After talking with his neighbor, he decided to go with a #DIY #skeg build instead. In part 1 of a multi-part series, Ken invoked his inner @zoffinger to make a DIY retractable skeg. In part 2 of this series, Ken continued his work. Now, in the conclusion to this series, Ken works on the promised #anchor #trolley system (much thanks to @wendellfishing for the anchor suggestion), he makes the final finishing touches, takes the kayak out on a #fishingtrip, and he does a final discussion where he compares his #pelicankayak with his wife's @Vibekayaks Yellowfin 100. During this process, he naturally has issues with his @GoPro and #Akaso #actioncamera overheating, causing the ultimate malfunction of multiple micro SD cards. Remember, this project took multiple weeks to complete. This was not a one or two day job. It is Ken's philosophy that a #doityourselfproject should only be done when it is either cheaper/better than products in the market OR when there isn't a similar product available in the marketplace. In this case, #rudder attachments are available for kayaks but not skegs. The finished product ended up costing Ken what a kayak rudder normally costs on Amazon and elsewhere. Thank you for watching!

In this video, Ken goes #fishing with his mom and niece. As Ken states in the video, his mother doesn't like being records. His niece, on the other hand, is a bit of a ham and loves the attention! She is rather #funny. This trio specifically is fishing for #mullet on this #fishingtrip while Ken also attempts to fish for #gar and #bluecrab. In the middle of everything, Ken's @GoPro overheats and destroys a $50 micro-SD card. Therefore, there will be a rant about #GoPro not fixing known issues. So, sit back and watch the antics ensue!

In this video, Ken does an honest #review of the new @drpepper #limitededition creamy #coconut #drpepper #softdrink. As long time viewers may know, Ken has an MBA degree. According to Ken, the #beverage space is extremely crowded and competitive. Drink makers have to pay, what Ken equates to an "extortion fee" just to get onto shelves. This is why many times "limited edition" or specialty lines do not get the attention they deserve, as Ken will explain this and more in the video. In American history, Dr Pepper really doesn't get the credit it deserves. It is, by all accounts, America's oldest #soda. No other beverage in this space can deny that. However, other than an odd #marketing slogan involving 10, 2, and 4; this beverage suffers many issues which Ken will discuss in the video. We all know that #cherry and #CocaCola are a winning combination. Could Dr Pepper and coconut be the next big thing? Could this be what Dr Pepper needs to break out of mediocrity and appeal to longtime haters of this #drink? Thank you for watching! Please remember to like, share, comment, and subscribe (it's FREE)! These things really help the channel. Comment where you buy this product and if you've tried it. As Ken stated, he's only heard of #WinnDixie and @Walmart carrying this beverage. We'd love to hear more!
