I hope Tastemade pays Frankie to do this show forever

[@ingridmatthews6627]

My partner's co workers are always envious of the scent coming from reheating the home hot lunches I pack for her. And we save major $$$. 😉😉♥️ (PS I miss longer Struggle Meals. They seem so rushed now.)

[@Janine.Najarian]

The whole episodes are on tastemade

[@zemyna6895]

Why isn’t this going viral? This is the best cooking show I’ve ever seen. It’s fun, entertaining, and the guy is such a hottie 😝

[@auditi14]

Okay... seriously..why don't they ever link the 'previous' episode when it's a topic covered across 2-3vids?

[@chilibonze]

im so frustrated with the way they dont link the previous episodes. the titles of the videos dont even reference each other. UGGGG. Unhappy customer here.

[@chedisLoL]

@@chilibonze Just watch all of the videos that Frankie does... like I do. There no point in having them link it if you see them all

[@TheDeathmail]

@@chedisLoL That doesn't work for everyone; plus, it's still not a solution for the problem.. it's a work around..

[@chedisLoL]

@@TheDeathmail Why tf you replying to 1 year old comments bruh? And also work arounds = solutions.

[@ItsLemontree]

@@chedisLoL cause why not :)

[@jutde]

3:10 Ah, cilantro, my old arch nemesis. Makes every dish taste like soap. Kudos to those of you that don't have that gene mutation.

[@citogal]

This is part II, wish there was a link to part III.

[@VadascovinichRagen]

Practical, non pretentious cooking for those with a budget. Love you and your content my dude, you make thousands of lives yummier (and healthier!) :D

[@izzatihassan1475]

i dont always watch Struggle Meals...unless it's the middle of the month and my bank account is $13.85. P.S. that avocado tip can be used on gingers as well. drown them so they last longer.

[@adamcarson6294]

I don't know, all the gingers I've tried to drown have struggled profusely until I let them back up...

[@MrAranton]

@@adamcarson6294 Which is why the series is called "struggle meals".

[@raivisz93]

instructions unclear. lost both my lunch and my keys

[@thefaceofinsecurity]

Can we get an herb garden tips and tricks video? I keep killing my poor herbs 😭😭😭

[@kathyerickson9402]

Oooh! Aren't you clever...leaving the keys on top of the lunch. Great tip!

[@Yesica1993]

This was worth it for the avocado tip alone! I love avocados, but can never figure out how to save them!

[@MajorAddiction]

Imagine you forget your keys are in the fridge Love the series man, great energy in the pacing and editing

Can you guys please do a book of everything Struggle Meal related??

[@mareamiller6957]

Here I am- tearing my house apart looking for keys.... in the fridge.....

[@j.a.sisson6466]

So smart to put your keys on top of lunch in the fridge! No forgetting!

[@JOSHOCEANS]

Broooski this series is amazing!!! I love every second of it

[@eeveerv92]

love this series! don't stop posting!

[@terribels]

To not waste the noodle broth mixture, just put half of your intended hot water in the jar, then put the broth mixture in the jar. Then put the rest of the hot water in the flavor jar to help "wash" the remaining broth. Then pour it in the jar with the rest. The flavor jar is "cleaner" because you didn't waste it.

[@emilybeane4480]

So many good tips here holy mole! I love the way you explained in such a simple way the key parts of making your own sauce. And the keys on top of your lunch tip is hilarious and genius. Personally I would never forget my delicious homemade lunches, but I have a coworker who I will definitely share that with. Keep being you, Frankie! And please keep making these videos!

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

I'd try and write a pun for this, but im too cheep!

[@daniellewolfe4291]

In case your wondering, he used baking rock salt, 1 to 4 tbsps for Instant ice cream.

[@joshaguirre5248]

Did the soup jar instead of miso I used the better than bouillon and it came out amazing

[@cassierennoldson3185]

Where’s the last video to this series? There’s still two more days to cover & no video in the play list?

[@ryncricket2001]

I love the noodle idea!

[@noritagimon7366]

Yeyy frankie, nail it!!!! Please do more, you are soo talented

[@Yesica1993]

If I ever find a FT job again, I am going to have to try the keys on the lunch thing! I can't tell you how many times I'd make a nice lunch for myself (not as nice as this) only to remember it... when I was on the train already.

[@hlegler]

New favorite cooking show. ❤️

[@jillygirl2024]

I love this video - I don't know how to make sauces and now I have a guide YEA

[@keelydyer7838]

Keys on top of the lunch box 😂🙏 such a good idea!

How do you keep avocados from oxiding in wrap?

[@cassierennoldson3185]

Put an acid on it, Lomé or lemon juice etc

[@Yumi-vp7ee]

love the videos as always. can the rice noodles really cook in just pouring hot water though?

[@fancypants3372]

Yep. Let them sit for a little while in the water, drain and then they're good to eat.

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Uh.. Google it?

[@alexandrarios9496]

[@BergenholtzChannel]

Love this video, but doesn't water have oxygen in it?

[@Yesica1993]

If I could afford salmon, I'd eat it every day in a row!

[@brendaroach7865]

Dollar tree sells 4oz.. salmon $1, frozen section

Why this talented young man is not married is crazy.

[@jb6712]

From the perspective of a woman who's endured two lousy marriages (neither husband was as ambitious as Frankie is, for starters), I think he's brilliant for not being married!

[@sbalchan]

I know Frankie didn't just put keys in the fridge 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂. I live in the Caribbean. My moms would have taken that outta the fridge and asked me if I gone crazy 😅😂💀.

[@irocket47i57]

Some of these foods is bought in bulks. Like lettuce is not .12

[@lorddiable]

hes countign 12c of lettuce used in that reciepe

[@jb6712]

"....foods ARE bought in bulk..." Not "is bought." Absolutely terrible grammar there.

[@peterguldagerdahl3471]

Okay, don't use hot tap water. Unless it comes out of the tap boiling. Really, really bad advice.

[@andlau88]

I'm not sure if hot sink water is drinkable...

[@keeghanburk7906]

Depends on where you live, and if it's public or well water. Could I drink my tap water? yes, it's just chok-full of iron and tastes kinda crummy.

[@americas_soldier1490]

Anti oxygen barrier...but theres oxygen in water

[@keeghanburk7906]

I think it has to do with unbound oxygen. You are correct that water has oxygen but it doesn't...function like oxygen. I mean, you can't live by breathing water, even though it has oxygen in it right? It's because it's a combination, and in a different form of matter. Regular oxygen in the air can cause oxidization because it is reacting to the avocado flesh. IDK, I'm not a rocket surgeon or a chemist. Just my thought.

[@Baobunions]

Water still has oxygen in it...

[@andlau88]

Exactly what I was thinking. He needs to use acid instead

[@jalisa6619]

I stoped whatching these after one time he said 1.35 when the chicken he used was threee dollars

[@randomlyboring8358]

Brain muscle??? 🥴

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

but water is made of H2O......O for oxygen....lol

[@jb6712]

It's not full-on, 100% pure oxygen, though, and obviously, living things drown in it because there is not enough oxygen to support lives other than what God designed to live in water. Hence, there's not sufficient oxygen to oxidize the avocado.

[@karentarin3235]

Great tip, but now I'm looking for my keys for half an hour before I remember they are in the fridge keeping my salad company
