    I am 70 years old and considered to be something of grouch. Although I have dozens of food related videos among my You Tube play lists I have never written a fan letter in my life. I have been binge watching this series for three days. I find Frankie to be wildly entertaining, creative, most importantly, educational. I mean, sheet pan rice? I have been telling all my friends about this sie. I hope you stick around. You are one of a kind!

    I adore this series, and I am an experienced cook. I wish Frankie would come out with a Struggle Meals book. I’d purchase it for every newbie home chef I know. He’d be raking in the dough.

    These recipes are insanely creative and healthy. I'm kind of in shock here, because I've been cooking for decades and you're opening my brain to so many new ideas. (Although I will argue that you count on your viewers having a pretty well stocked pantry/spice cabinet. Also, the condiment stealing, LOL. My late mother approves.)

    We made the swoodles and meatballs this last week and it was pretty good! The almond butter did seem a little bitter but created a nice consistency. To break up the bitter I added some Worcester sauce and it was perfect! The sweet potato noodles were pretty hard to make so I would recommend using a spiralizer if you have one.

    I tried this and my meatballs fell apart (because my skills are non existent). I saved a few meatballs and made ground turkey with the ones that fell apart. In the end, I liked the swoodles with the ground turkey. Every bite had a lil bit of meat. My plans with the left over ground meat is to put some on a baked sweet potato to create a loaded one. Thanks Frankie for all you do and please keep the videos coming.

I like chili with cheese I like my homemade copycat Heinz baked beans Angie's and I'm talkin vegan cheese. I have Burgers I can use for the sweet potato sliders. I have plenty of ersatz meets at my disposal. :-) I would also add some butter to that sauce for the zoodles.
