I have no junk food at home right now and after watching this, I got up and made an apple crumble. Sometimes you just need the right motivation and this guy has the type of energy you don't see everyday.
frankie loud: god why hes got so much energy he must be using crack frankie less loud: whats wrong with you frankie why arent you yelling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My little sister and I watched this video, and immediately made the brownies and ice cream from scratch! It tasted amazing, and we had so much fun, baking together.
im a freshman in college living off campus in an apartment & your videos have helped me tremendously to cook food that makes me feel at home and satisfied..on a budget! thanks so much frankie!
I love Frankie yelling or not yelling, as long as he's informing. He's my favorite because he doesn't just say "copy what I do. Don't learn anything, don't be creative" he teaches little tips and tricks that no one else really gives you. Like the science behind it. Love it! Write a book frankie!
I absolutely love your sense of humor! I can't eat starches of any kind (except potatoes) so I can't enjoy most of what you make but it doesn't matter. You are too much fun to watch!
Can you put gourmet(non-microwaved) popcorn in a future episode? Instead of paying $8 or more at the theater, you can do it for a couple cents at home. I do it at home, and I would love it if more people learned about it.
Also, homemade microwave version using a paper bag. For those who hate having to do popcorn on the stovetop AND for college students so they don't think they need a separate appliance to avoid normal microwave popcorn.
My go to sweet on a budget is cookies made with one egg one cup of peanut butter and one cup of sugar. That’s it! cook them in the oven for 8 min and there simple and cheep!
I have been mesmerized by about 18 Struggle Meals in a row from Twitter somehow.. I am inspired and hungry now. Frankie Celenza is a great entertainer and motivator. I am going to cook the Arepas and Polenta first. Maybe even for New Years. Hmm, I think I will try making the Gnocci also. Thanks
Always a joy to see you enjoy sharing your struggle meals. I made a tuna casserole a few weeks ago. I tweaked my recipe and it was delicious. I'm not a fan of tuna, but this one hit the spot. Blessings!🙂
Genius! How about you wipe with your hand and save 2 pennies? Better yet, do it in the neighbour's garden. Saves you the flushing and 10c on the water bill
Awesome as always! Ice cream dance is classic Frankie :) focus on couple of the close up face shots seemed a bit off, but that's probably the vibrating sugar daddy effect
It's funny that you mention adding salt to sweet desserts. As a young kid first learning to bake, my mom taught me to always add salt. It wasn't until I was older that I learned not everybody knew that. Salt really does help to round out and balance the flavors of a sweet dessert.
Butter is essentially shelf stable as well. It keeps on the counter for at least a week..it just needs to be protected from air dust etc by a lidded butter dish Tupperware etc.
OMG my husband made this today for my birthday while we are in self quarantine. So good! Would love to make it again for my son's bday in 2 days. If we don't have butter can we use oil? We have vegetable, avocado and coconut oil. Any suggestions on which oil and quality to substitute the butter with? With appreciation!
I have leftover almond flour, and other kinds of "healthy" flours from cookie and bread making. I wonder if I could substitute almond flour for the citrus bars crust?
My faverite budget dessert is something my nanny used to make. She called it milk jelly and it's jelly cubes melted with just enough water and then topped up with a can of evaporated milk. Set it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. So rich, sweet and creamy. One 2 ingredients and so simple
@@zoziebee7471 wow thanks 😀 I think this is a poor man's vision of the original dish as the ingredients can be picked up for just over £1 and it serves 3-4. Canned evaporated milk and cubes of fruit jelly are very accessible in the UK so that's where my nan came into contact with it and i highly recommend it and think it's better then a normal jelly as it's so creamy
Those look amazing as always! I have made ice cream in a bag before! I made it with a group of 3-4 years and they thought I was awesome!! Atta Girl! Folks it really does work!!
Frozen berries are cheaper than fresh in the US? :0 for me fresh is cheaper. I usually buy a lot of fresh berries and freeze them to make fruit juices and desserts.
It really depends on the fruit where I come from. For example mango and co are way cheaper frozen, but local stuff like apples and peaches are much cheaper to buy fresh. So looking for local fresh fruits is probably always cheaper?
I absolutely love that you use things poor people actually have, so many times people try to make budget foods with expensive stuff!! Also, my kids LOVE you!
If you buy a lot of almonds, or any nuts for that matter, you need to plan things to use them for because they do go rancid not too long after you open the package. I keep nuts in the fridge, but even those will go bad. I haven't tried vacuum sealing them and keeping them in the fridge, yet, but will try that next. You might want to keep nuts in jars, not in original packaging. Also, citrus is not inexpensive in Connecticut, especially in fall and winter. Even lemons can get pricey.
Would love to have you shop for a week then plan everything for all the meal that week. So the struggle meals are more believable when we know how it cost for 1 week
1.these look DELICIOUS!!!! I AM DEFINITELY making these for my family this coming month when I go shopping again. 2. OMFG I DIDNT KNOW U COULD MAKE ICECREAM IN A ZIPLOCK BAG!!!😍😍😍💜😍💜💜💜💜 SOOOO cool!! 3. This vid make me laugh a LOT,as well as taught me a LOT of new tricks! Thank you SO SO MUCH!

I have no junk food at home right now and after watching this, I got up and made an apple crumble. Sometimes you just need the right motivation and this guy has the type of energy you don't see everyday.
This guy is so goofy it's actually quite endearing and cute.
Amber Marie I agree. It's one of the reasons I continued to watch his struggle stuff.
Plus it's SUPER informative,and fun.💜
I agree! The beautifully organized packet drawer about killed me tho.
I THINK IS ADORABLE INNOCENT, IS A KID ❤️
Ikr? I think I have a crush on him
You mean he is endearing and cute
frankie loud: god why hes got so much energy he must be using crack
frankie less loud: whats wrong with you frankie why arent you yelling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T KNOW MAYBE THE COFFEE WAS LESS CAFFEINATED
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't like most UA-camrs...
He got kidnapped and replaced by a clone
@@exoandeggs6886 lol
Somebody commented in a different video that he looked slightly sedated and I laughed so hard and now I think about that when I try one of his recipes
Please return to the old intro. I need to hear Frankie in literal pain over how much money I could be saving by heisting packets from restaurants.
hahahaha
Aaaand I'm dead.
LOL
“Beautiful on the inside and out, just like you and me”
Me: (Tears up) nice...
i felt that XD
My little sister and I watched this video, and immediately made the brownies and ice cream from scratch! It tasted amazing, and we had so much fun, baking together.
His intro got so much calmer. 😂
I dislike it
I don't know whether to like OR dislike it. I think I'm neutral.lol
Mostly just confused at the sudden change.🤣
im a freshman in college living off campus in an apartment & your videos have helped me tremendously to cook food that makes me feel at home and satisfied..on a budget! thanks so much frankie!
Why isn't he yelling at me in a frustrated voice about how life can be a struggle? Why is he so calm? I am uncomfortable
YOU WANT ME TO YELL??!! I'LL YELL!!
@@FrankieCooks YES, THANK YOU! THAT'S BETTER!
I love Frankie yelling or not yelling, as long as he's informing. He's my favorite because he doesn't just say "copy what I do. Don't learn anything, don't be creative" he teaches little tips and tricks that no one else really gives you. Like the science behind it. Love it! Write a book frankie!
The shaking the bags bit killed me. Oh lord. 😂😂
He's literally the cutest!! 😍
Frankie swearing always catches me off guard. But also...hott??
I LOVE these struggle videos! Thank you for making them!
Why is this not forever trending everywhere?! I love this guy 🥰
I love this guy‘s energy
Frankie did you just take that cast iron out of the oven with your bare hands
I said the same thing
It's either he's not actually got the oven on and it's pre made, or he has hands made by Tefal, one or the other.
He's not human
Of course he isn't human...look how much he knows about SAVING!!!🤣🤣🤣
YES, I was waiting for an episode like this! The broke sweet tooth that I am, loves this!
I absolutely love your sense of humor! I can't eat starches of any kind (except potatoes) so I can't enjoy most of what you make but it doesn't matter. You are too much fun to watch!
I love this ❤️ I’m in college so struggle meals is definitely a go to instead of the cafe on campus. Thank you tastemade 👏🏾
planning on doing that crumble with frozen peaches tonight. looks so good!
Can you put gourmet(non-microwaved) popcorn in a future episode? Instead of paying $8 or more at the theater, you can do it for a couple cents at home. I do it at home, and I would love it if more people learned about it.

BROWN SHUGGGAAA! Haha! I was hoping I would get to hear that in this episode! Nice "Struggle ice cream machine"!
Rice pudding is my favorite budget dessert! :)
Sarah Wagner how the world do you make rice pudding?
My go to sweet on a budget is cookies made with one egg one cup of peanut butter and one cup of sugar. That’s it! cook them in the oven for 8 min and there simple and cheep!

The three sweets I make the most! Glad to have another perspective of making them! Love them all.
You are hilarious. Thanks for making it fun to cook! 😁
I love this. Even if you dont have a food budget he shows you how to cook easy meals fast. I love it.
Chef Frankie, you're a real hoot! Your recipes are fantastic, and I love how you improvise. Thanx!
"Struggle stand mixer"...lol
Love all the sound effects
Frankie’s worse than a kid on a sugar rush but so hilarious!😂❤️ the recipes!
I ate all of your brownie n ice cream ingredients separately. Save myself 12c on the power bill
Genius! How about you wipe with your hand and save 2 pennies?
Better yet, do it in the neighbour's garden. Saves you the flushing and 10c on the water bill

Loveeee all the videos but this one was especially funny and useful 🤣 ❤
I really enjoy these videos. I’ve never tried to make anything, but Frankie is fun to watch 🙇🏻♀️
Ice cream making - I'm dying over here! He's bouncing off the walls because I think he ate the entire citrus bar platter.
I wish I had 15% of your energy
Best Struggle Meals Episode *EVER!!*
He's adorable! Love him!
OMG the sugar has him AMPED UP!!!😂😂😂
I have never watched such a fun cooking show!!!

I just made the crumble with a mix of frozen berries. It was quick and easy to prepare, and its was soo delicious. Loved it :D

It's called Blancmange!! I've never tried it but was obsessed with the word when I was younger

Ooh I'll try it then! I usually make jelly with fizzy pop as it sparkles on your tongue a bit!
When he was shaking on the counter. 😂
Love the way you put words in such fancy way
I love this show!
This was a great episode!! I love struggle meals!!! Realistically though, that icecream looked like waaaaay to much work for my lazy butt 😂
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!
With the price of eggs now, it's probably more than $2 for those citrus bars. Half a dozen eggs costs about $2.50 here in the US.
Butter, too. More like $6/pound these days in Massachusetts, US. But making our own is still more affordable than eating out.
My favorite struggle meals episode!
Those look amazing as always! I have made ice cream in a bag before! I made it with a group of 3-4 years and they thought I was awesome!! Atta Girl! Folks it really does work!!
Frozen berries are cheaper than fresh in the US? :0 for me fresh is cheaper. I usually buy a lot of fresh berries and freeze them to make fruit juices and desserts.
Fresh berries are expensive here in Malaysia :( Frozen is the cheapest option
Here fresh is cheaper in summer and frozen is cheaper in winter
I buy in season only. The frozen RARELY go on sale. If they do I buy it otherwise I am like you buy fresh and freeze.
It really depends on the fruit where I come from. For example mango and co are way cheaper frozen, but local stuff like apples and peaches are much cheaper to buy fresh. So looking for local fresh fruits is probably always cheaper?
The citrus bars are a good idea because I never have lemons but I sometimes have oranges and grapefruits.
Lol, you are fun to watch.
Great recipes!
This is by far my favorite one of these so far😂😂
People in the comments, stop being haters about his intro😂😂😭he’s great, don’t ever change✌🏽
I absolutely love that you use things poor people actually have, so many times people try to make budget foods with expensive stuff!! Also, my kids LOVE you!
He really is the cutest thing on the planet. Well, besides that peanut butter brownie/ice cream combo. Oh, how I wish I had that right now! Yum!!
Frankie is a nugget of love 😍😂
finally you fixed the intro voice over!! ❤️❤️❤️
If you buy a lot of almonds, or any nuts for that matter, you need to plan things to use them for because they do go rancid not too long after you open the package.

You might want to keep nuts in jars, not in original packaging. Also, citrus is not inexpensive in Connecticut, especially in fall and winter. Even lemons can get pricey.
He cracks me up.
Would love to have you shop for a week then plan everything for all the meal that week.
So the struggle meals are more believable when we know how it cost for 1 week
God Bless you man, keep em coming!
Frankie: it’s made by Mother Nature, so you know that it’s good.
Me: is quarantined
the chaotic energy radiating from this video...
How much of each ingredient do we use, and what's the temp on the oven we use, and for how long?
That ice cream trick is epic
Genuinely so happy you re recorded the intro
me too
Yummy Yum Yum! Thanx, Chef Frankie!
Hand gestures for life!
"You've got that stuff in your pantry."
Dude, I don't even have a pantry. Or a stove.
Serious questions: why no par-baking of the crust for the citrus squares?
I know using a peeler to zest is his 'thing' but the $ store has a zester/grater that really works and it a lot faster and easier.
Frankie : kitchen?
kichen : yes frankie?
Frankie : may i make cheap dishes?
kitchen : yes! you may.
Frankie : joke! I'm making desserts
Frankie : diabetes time!
I can't have gluten , can you do a few recipes for that ? Cause all gluten free stuff is expensive!
1.these look DELICIOUS!!!! I AM DEFINITELY making these for my family this coming month when I go shopping again.
