Hi Mike! I've been watching since you and Josh did the college lunch series in the NYC apartment. I'm a huge fan of the 15 minute meals! As a bit of very VERY humble feedback (you've worked your a** off for a very long time to manage a very successful channel and I'm nothing but a South American home cook), I feel the quick-cuts and tiktok vibe in the video makes it a lot harder to follow (both while cooking and when just trying to get the idea behind the recipe by watching the video) I think the level of detail you gave in your sandwich series or even the college meals series was a lot more inspiring to home cooks and people that never touched a saucepan. Anyways, love your content! Thanks for sharing this with all of us
I like your take on Mexican food, keeping the base ingredients and giving them a little twist with what you have available. ¡Gracias por darle reconocimiento a la cocina mexicana!
Loved all the recipes!! Just an editing note, I'm personally not a fan of the hyper edited video style, I think it's a little cheesy and distracting but of course that's just me. I love your authentic, homecooked style of cooking and I don't really think you need all the editing to display that.
I absolutely love your videos. Just adding my 2cents. I know this 15mins series is all about fast and simple and the editing style is probably trying to reflect that, but.... I'm watching these as a hyper stressed mommy, trying to drag myself out of bad cooking habits, and a slower editing style helps my brain take in more information. Images that move too fast makes me want to click off. But still love the channel!!!!!
Hey. I am a big fan of your channel! I have tried several recipes and I am always pleased. I have to say, I found the editing a little distracting today. You don't need any gimmicks, your content is already great!
Hey man I just wanted to thank you for the vids and keeping up with these recipes with your busy home life. Starting a family is hard and the fact you're putting forth this effort to make the channel stronger and stronger is a testament to your hard work! Keep it up. Wish you and your family the best!
My absolute favorite thing about your videos is how you impart good, concise information without the unnecessary "Tiktok BANG POW" overlays. We are here for you, your food, and your down-to-earth style. It is the reason I like you over people like Joshua Weissman. You focus on the food and the techniques. Not the bullshit.
Yep, 90% of the time I prefer to read my information since I can get what I need without a bunch of extra annoying stuff. TikTok has made the trend of blah engagement bait worse, maybe attention spans are even shorter than 5 years ago? Anyway- there are a handful of youtube channels that actually give concise information with minimal distractions, occasional humor, and reliable relatability.
I love watching Jim on Sip and Feast. He's laid back with n over the top antics. He's a great teacher, explaining everything he does. If you haven't, check him out. You won't be disappointed. Mike has a colab here with him.
Love your content man, you taught me and impreoved my cooking skills a lot. And I understand that making a video that will appease the YT algorithm is tough, and you want high production in your videos, but as some other people pointed out - there begins to be too much cuts and animations. Cooking content works better with a bit of a calmer atmosphere
Mexican food is among the most varied cuisines in the world, even for mexicans, there will be always some dishes that they have not eaten before. Also we have to consider that this guy is adapting his cooking to the ingridients that he has on his garden.
@@sebastianaristegui1397 The soup is Texmex. I know were the first tortilla soup was served and it was in Texas. The tostada is from Baja. The egg dish I will try but I would not call it Huevos Ranchero. What makes it Huevos Ranchero is the Ranchero sauce. Salsa doesn't make it Huevos Rancheros. Caesar Salad is technically Mexican. The hard shell taco is American. Burritos are texmex. Make everything a taco.
Mike, been a fan for a while. Really enjoy the focus and simple quick tips to make my game in the kitchen a step better with each video. I also enjoy watching the videos as my daughter (17) will sit with me and we watch you together. (you will understand what this means to have a 17-year-old sit with you on the couch, later in life) Buddy, you got almost 4 million subscribers because of your clear no-nonsense style and likeable personality. Your practicality and to the point style won me over. Please drop the animations and go careful with the advertising of the store. Once in a while, okay, but this has been coming for many videos now and this one here was rather extreme. Please reconnect with the original Mike we know and 3.59million of us want to continue seeing. Looking forward to the next one. Please keep up the great work you are doing! (really like the garden as well)
Agreed! Was excited to watch with my kiddos but it's too triggering (so much going on with all the animations). I do enjoy all the previous videos that don't have all the animations-- just a few
Agreed. Too many silly cartoon animations is taking away from the core coming content. Just be you and stay close to your roots that brought you this much success. I'm really enjoying your content; inspires me to be creative in the kitchen.
Honestly, I just discovered your channel and I am IN LOVE. I love cooking but I consider myself an amateur. Your videos help me progress and add dimension to what I cook. I agree with others though, I prefer your simple videos without all the editing. Thank you for your work!!
So much inspiration here as always. I think I need to lean harder into getting creative with whatever is in my fridge/pantry/garden. There are certain ingredients that I'm very comfortable being flexible with, and others that I really only use for one or two things, then end up throwing a bunch away. It's time o push the improvisation to the next level!
Hey Mike, I love your channel! Ever since I was 16 I used to watch you and Josh whip up the most insane late night combos, to now where I'm 24, and I miss Josh ngl, but I still love the vibe in your videos, the food and how you present everything. You have helped me become a great cook for my sake, my family's and my gf's. Thank you so much for being here and I hope you keep on making these videos! I wish you all the best!
I found your channel several years ago when looking for food on a budget. I know the history- and I just want to say Thank you for continuing your passion and sharing it with us viewers.
Not eating shrimp right now so tried making these tacos with wild salmon pieces instead, it totally worked! Really enjoyed the simple slaw and using the avocado mash really elevates this quick meal. Thank you!
Excellent video on quick meals with a Mexican flare . I will be trying them all for sure . Love the garden and so nice to go out and pick fresh . I also add dome carrot tops to my salsa and use them for aromatics in soups , stews and wherever I need some flavor
When you see the cooking being done by a pasty white guy or or lady... You usually cannot expect authentic Mexican food / recipes/cooking 😅 even if their headline banner says authentic Mexican... 😉
I dont think Josh ever claimed these were authentic Mexican dishes. However, they are probably a lot closer to what a Mexican mother might pluck out of the garden and cook up using whatever fresh local ingredients she had vs the crappy taco bell style midwestern or "Tex Mex" interpretation that gets passed off as "Mexican" so often.
These all look delicious, thank you for sharing! I also have to just give you a huge thank you for all the "food fouls" I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to know that even a professional home cook like yourself drops, and spills things so much!! Thank you for keeping it real.
My girlfriend taught me egg-in-a-hole, about 20 years ago, but using bread...I transferred the technique to corn and flour tortillas. Glad to see the combo in your video with beautiful textures and colors to go with it.
Hey bro! I've been a huge fan for a while man! I love your videos! I just wanted to make a suggestion, the quick editing in the video really took away your amazing video expirance of exploration. It was so fast and stressful. As a viewer I loooooove your old editing way more! You rock dude!
Lol your videos are slowly getting more edited and wacky, but still you produce quality content. So I thank you! Also the whole "cutting board salsa" idea I think is genius lol
that one in particular made no sense to me. What's the advantage over simply tossing everything into a bowl and not getting a headache over potential juice spills?
Thank you for these healthful recipes! I have at least 5 of your posts (and Mike's!) in my weekly rotation. I've been cooking for years, and still, you enlighten me at least once a month. Thanks again and cheers!
i love your little garden and how you use the vegetables and fruits you've made in your dishes- though im not really a huge enthusiast of nature, and i couldn't see myself going all out like that, i do admire it a lot. i think its really cool :]
I'm an east coaster as well and I love my potted Meyer lemon 🍋....for anyone who wants to grow Meyers (and I think this applies to most citrus) get a grafted tree from a nursery. It will produce fruit within a year or two whereas growing from seed requires 7+ years (give or take)
I love your website and I love the 15 minute meals! I got a big laugh today it’s To know I’m not the only one who throws food across the room or can’t find the right bowl or dumps The air fryer pan into the bowl!😂. I went to your website to try to find what mortar and pedestal you used? I didn’t see it on your shopping webpage. Keep up the great work! Loved the photos of you and your family!
@@LifebyMikeG Hi,before giving my opinion I have to say "I love your recipes even these" because they are very tasty but this is not mexican food I say it because I am from Mexico and I have tried food from all the regions of my country
Did you know you can eat carrot greens? I made some pesto this summer with a combo of carrot greens basil and spinach. It was yummy 😋 That soup looks delicious and is getting my creative juices flowing! 😊 I love your videos! Your on my fav list! For me it’s not about following exactly what you do, but being inspired by you to make my own creations. Keep doing what your doing, your awesome! 🎉
I would say this is approximately 80% accurate Mexican dishes. It turned out better than I expected hahaha I mean, I would have never thought of combining zucchini with eggs, but maybe try it sometime myself. And those shrimp tostadas actually look tasty. Nice job man!
Just when I think your channel has peaked on 15 minute meals, 🤯, you surprise me again! Super excited to try these! Also, love the new store - just ordered me a Cosori air fryer! 🎉
I love that you used fennel in the soup, I'm 100% trying that recipe. I grew fennel but didn't know what to do with it. My chickens wouldn't eat it 😂 I ended up pulling it all out and getting rid of it. I noticed that if I cut it off at the base, it grew back nicely. Maybe I'll try growing it again 🤔
What I love about your channel is that you are authentic. I know you probably put a lot of planning into what you are going to cook but it always seems spontaneous! Would you do a little more with gluten free breads?
Hey. Those meals looked delicious. I'm trying to imagine the flavors. I'm going to store here shortly and now thinking I want to try the soup & shrimp tostadas. I need to use my tomatoes before the frost arrives. So how long you had your lemon tree growing before it started making lemons ? I have two lemon trees going for the first time so I'm excited to one year perhaps taste my own fruit, hah haa. You got me hungry. Thanks 👍
I’ve learned so much from your cooking skills. Really like your format and overlays, you do you! Your sponsors are awesome with realistic price points. Well done!
@@DarcyMidland not necessarily, especially since he doesn't seem to be counting "preptime" or pre-work. You can fry chicken pieces in 15 minutes easily if they're soaked and ready. Same thing with slices of country ham, or bacon, or green tomatos. Alas anything like biscuits, cornbread, grits or polenta will take too long simply due to the laws of physics.
exactly 😅 amazing food with a Mexican flare, but not Mexican food per se.... for example, a tostada is built upon a crunchy tortilla, not a soft one. that's a taco recipe ....
Wow! Like mexican at first I was a lot curious about the ingredient selection you made, but I'm not gonna lie I've got to taste it in this way. And you amaze me with some different preparation technics, really need to be use. Thanks for bring your magical touch to our delicious food 😉
I bought a dough scraper a few months ago. Is super helpful when cooking, i use it to get the cut stuff of my cutting board. ~€15 are totaly worth it. 5:26 I got rid of all coated pans and only cook in metal pans. they are quite cheap and after buring them in they are so nice to use
Omg 😂😂😂. You were extra funny today! And extra extra clumsy LOL. I love your videos so much. I have been watching them since your brother was making how to live on five cents a week. Those were so epic. You should do some up to date poverty videos for the coming of age poor peeps. Peace and love, my friend.
This was such a great video. Big fan of the edits, the pop-ups and distractions every so often - very entertaining! I also love how you're just being yourself and having fun with it. Gorgeously organized kitchen, beautiful garden!
Kinda "Camarones al mojo de ajo", but I liked this quick tostada meal! Tortilla soup, adding just some chipotle and cubes of fetta or panela cheese... yummy! Those crack eggs... interesting! I will try them!
Hi Mike, I had a dish idea: I made a Veggie-ovenpan with red onions, peas, carrots, corn, cherry tomatos and potatos. First I fried the onions in garlic butter until translucent. Tossed in the potatos until slighty crispy in coconut oil and thyme ( deglassed the cast iron with the oil, before tatts). Then liqudised the tomatos. Mixed in a bit of cream cheese ( Frischkäse). Finished with peas, carrrots and corn. Topped off with a layer of cheese on residual heat. Try it out, if yu like. Can't give you an estimated time, because I was cooking by eyeball. First chopped onions, whilst they where cooking, I managed the Tatters. Continued with the tomatos. And then looked for what could fit in the fridge and pantry, while they were steaming. Wish your fam a wonderful weekend.
"..roasted tomatoes with, oh, you son of a..." Sounds like me in the kitchen all the time! In all seriousness, when I get in a hurry, I fling avocadoes, try to pick up hot pans, etc. At some point, you decide, "Ok, I'll take 16 minutes to make this instead of 15." I love that you grow and produce some of your own veggies and eggs (and maybe chicken). I do the same, minus the chickens, as we're not allowed to have them in my neighborhood.
I remember watching you and Josh many years ago. Your videos was so wholesome back then. Especially one clip with Josh smoking a chillum and playing Mario cart while you guys ate was so great. I still enjoy and learn a lot (maybe even more than before) from your videos, but man back then it really hit with a different, chill and wholesome vibe. I guess we all grow up tho, and I hope Josh did too and that he is well :)
The new format is a little disorienting but it reminds me how much you need to bring your brother in for a guest spot. Your bro and you have a synergy that is next level.
Definitely not traditional Mexican but something I have learned over the years is food can be fun to try new ingredients in old recipes. With that being said there are staples to ethnic foods. Good job on creating Mexican style dishes I'll have to try the soup and the tortilla with the hole in it. I would suggest using the hole to scrape up the yolk when it drips.
4:00 not really Mexican food, as long as you call it Mexican-inspired I'm good :) like your recipes. I do love how you create your own tortillas for the tostadas and don't gross on store-bought
Oh nooo! LOL I love your videos, and I very rarely have anything bad to say. And this is just more of a "pick" than anything, promise. But 2 garlic cloves for garlic shrimp? 😲I would use at least 6! Even though this is Mexican food, I can hear Uncle Roger's voice in my head saying, "Use the right amount, not the white amount." 🤣 I'm just teasing though. I love you! Use whatever amount tastes good to you (and that goes for anyone else reading this). Continue...
BTW this is the perfect video for me right now because we just bought some ingredients with Mexican food in mind yesterday. (Avocados, cilantro, red onions, shrimp, tomatoes...)
Sorry Josh…but in the late 60s/early 70s, we had a Betty Crocker cookbook for kids which had “campfire eggs” that we loved to make. Hole in buttered bread, and crack the egg into the center as the bread toasts, then flip. We’d use the cut and grilled circles to dip into the runny eggs. Yummmmmm
whoever is doing the editing needs to cool off the Adderal, so much shit going on it actually takes quite a lot away from the video tbh Mike. Just some honest feedback because your videos are sincerely some of the best cooking ones out there
Love the video, I am salivating just watching you cook. I love the chickens, and all the fresh veggies just outside your door. I grew a few eggplants that I just picked, will try air frying some coin size slices.
"Hey Mike, how many animated elements do you want popping out in this video?"
[Mike] YES!
yes, great recipes, but the animation was super distracting I prefer the ASMR vibe. Only managed half the video before I felt sensory overload here.
@@jenniferhatherill2366 agreed. Way too much. The quality of the footage should be enough to carry the video.
Same here :/
Agreed. The little animated interstitials were kind of cute, and even the jokey words popping up (emulsion blender, FAIL, etc), but all of the little emoji-style stuff was just way too much and distracting. Hope they tone it down for future releases.
Thank you! I got dizzy and quit watching.
Hi Mike! I've been watching since you and Josh did the college lunch series in the NYC apartment. I'm a huge fan of the 15 minute meals! As a bit of very VERY humble feedback (you've worked your a** off for a very long time to manage a very successful channel and I'm nothing but a South American home cook), I feel the quick-cuts and tiktok vibe in the video makes it a lot harder to follow (both while cooking and when just trying to get the idea behind the recipe by watching the video) I think the level of detail you gave in your sandwich series or even the college meals series was a lot more inspiring to home cooks and people that never touched a saucepan. Anyways, love your content! Thanks for sharing this with all of us
"15 Minute Mexican." That's what my wife calls me.
She is being kind and does not want to hurt your feelings.
Omg 🤣 😭
Damn 15 min
Self Burn, nice
The unbelievable 15 minute mexican
0:50 - Shrimp Tostada
6:50 - Tortilla Soup
13:55 - Huevos Rancheros
Thank you for this! I hate it when videos like this don't include this info in the description.

Hey. Those meals looked delicious. I'm trying to imagine the flavors. I'm going to store here shortly and now thinking I want to try the soup & shrimp tostadas. I need to use my tomatoes before the frost arrives. So how long you had your lemon tree growing before it started making lemons ? I have two lemon trees going for the first time so I'm excited to one year perhaps taste my own fruit, hah haa. You got me hungry. Thanks 👍
I just bought it last year!
@@LifebyMikeG Cool. Perhaps next summer I get something :)) Thanks and I got the stuff for the soup...well not everything but I will substitute :))
Hello my lovely friend
I’ve learned so much from your cooking skills. Really like your format and overlays, you do you! Your sponsors are awesome with realistic price points. Well done!
Thank you! Love your vids, been watching for years! These recipes definitely feel doable and I'm especially inspired by the garden, way to go Mike!
Thanks for another entertaining and straightforward take on easy dishes - you're the man!
Can we get a 15 minute Southern cuisine episode?
Southern cuisine takes way longer than 15 minutes, more like 15 hours.
@@DarcyMidland not necessarily, especially since he doesn't seem to be counting "preptime" or pre-work. You can fry chicken pieces in 15 minutes easily if they're soaked and ready. Same thing with slices of country ham, or bacon, or green tomatos. Alas anything like biscuits, cornbread, grits or polenta will take too long simply due to the laws of physics.
I would like to see this. Something with grits, biscuits, gravy, fried salmon cakes, corn bread. He could do it!
Impossible. lol
Delicious! Love your stuff...always. And really love the humor and realistic touch of being a home cook. Thank you!
Damn dude i remember when this channel was you guys acting toasty making faux Taco Bell and now we here. So cool
😂
LOL I simply love your taste reactions! So authentic YUMMMM....mmmm.....ooooh so good! It's a joy!
Hello my lovely friend
Cabbage core is also worth utilizing - cut it thinly and use in salad/place on a sandwitch
While I can't approve those dishes as "mexican food", they look amazing!!!!
exactly 😅 amazing food with a Mexican flare, but not Mexican food per se.... for example, a tostada is built upon a crunchy tortilla, not a soft one. that's a taco recipe ....
I think the cuts are fine, it makes the videos fun to watch with chuckles to be had!
Ok, there are a little too much animations in this video. They kind of broke your great cinematographie.
Yeah it's pretty over the top.
Wow! Like mexican at first I was a lot curious about the ingredient selection you made, but I'm not gonna lie I've got to taste it in this way. And you amaze me with some different preparation technics, really need to be use. Thanks for bring your magical touch to our delicious food 😉
These look great! Quick question, in the 1st recipe did you flip the tortilla after that side crisps up?
yeah, flip em! it's in the video if u wanna fact check me :D
I bought a dough scraper a few months ago. Is super helpful when cooking, i use it to get the cut stuff of my cutting board. ~€15 are totaly worth it.
5:26 I got rid of all coated pans and only cook in metal pans. they are quite cheap and after buring them in they are so nice to use
Omg 😂😂😂. You were extra funny today! And extra extra clumsy LOL. I love your videos so much. I have been watching them since your brother was making how to live on five cents a week. Those were so epic. You should do some up to date poverty videos for the coming of age poor peeps. Peace and love, my friend.
❤
@@YOUENJOYLIFE omg…lol! Hi dear! It’s good to see you are still among the living! Be happy and prosper ❤❤😊
Hello Mary
This was such a great video. Big fan of the edits, the pop-ups and distractions every so often - very entertaining! I also love how you're just being yourself and having fun with it.
Gorgeously organized kitchen, beautiful garden!
I like the chaotic energy in this one 😄
Just watched this again. Super impressed with your garden space.
Kinda "Camarones al mojo de ajo", but I liked this quick tostada meal!
Tortilla soup, adding just some chipotle and cubes of fetta or panela cheese... yummy!
Those crack eggs... interesting! I will try them!
Hi Mike, I had a dish idea:
I made a Veggie-ovenpan with red onions, peas, carrots, corn, cherry tomatos and potatos.
First I fried the onions in garlic butter until translucent.
Tossed in the potatos until slighty crispy in coconut oil and thyme ( deglassed the cast iron with the oil, before tatts).
Then liqudised the tomatos.
Mixed in a bit of cream cheese ( Frischkäse).
Finished with peas, carrrots and corn.
Topped off with a layer of cheese on residual heat.
Try it out, if yu like. Can't give you an estimated time, because I was cooking by eyeball. First chopped onions, whilst they where cooking, I managed the Tatters. Continued with the tomatos. And then looked for what could fit in the fridge and pantry, while they were steaming.
Wish your fam a wonderful weekend.
"..roasted tomatoes with, oh, you son of a..." Sounds like me in the kitchen all the time! In all seriousness, when I get in a hurry, I fling avocadoes, try to pick up hot pans, etc. At some point, you decide, "Ok, I'll take 16 minutes to make this instead of 15." I love that you grow and produce some of your own veggies and eggs (and maybe chicken). I do the same, minus the chickens, as we're not allowed to have them in my neighborhood.
Just only discovered your channel, great videos 👍🏻 like the easy and home approach. And the video editing with humor is really great to watch
Cool editing Mike!! Love the recipes.
Hello Clara
I remember watching you and Josh many years ago. Your videos was so wholesome back then. Especially one clip with Josh smoking a chillum and playing Mario cart while you guys ate was so great. I still enjoy and learn a lot (maybe even more than before) from your videos, but man back then it really hit with a different, chill and wholesome vibe. I guess we all grow up tho, and I hope Josh did too and that he is well :)
Yes it would be fun to have Josh as a collab in a video!!!
Love the idea of ingredients making love in the pan lol. Your love of food definitely shines in this video.
I would love some more 15 min pasta dishes
I love what you've done to the garden!
Keep up the great work!
The new format is a little disorienting but it reminds me how much you need to bring your brother in for a guest spot. Your bro and you have a synergy that is next level.
What new format?
I have seen this technique on your channel before. It was videos like those tbag got me interested in cooking all those years ago!
You made me laugh out loud at least three times with this video. Can't wait to try roasting tomatoes in the air fryer!
Definitely not traditional Mexican but something I have learned over the years is food can be fun to try new ingredients in old recipes. With that being said there are staples to ethnic foods. Good job on creating Mexican style dishes I'll have to try the soup and the tortilla with the hole in it. I would suggest using the hole to scrape up the yolk when it drips.
As a Mexican I have to say that is not a tostada, you need deep fried to make a tortilla to a tostadq
Hello Jean
I have never enjoyed watching someone cook as much, ever! It was funny, entertaining, educational, looked amazing and he’s kinda cute, ha
Weirdest tortilla soup recipe that I’ve ever seen… but willing to try it. Although I think it definitely won’t beat the original recipe 🤤
The soup was delicious, whole family enjoyed it. Thank you :)
Your recipes look delicious!
Hello Glenda
Been watching for years and you still make my life better
You should do a video cooking Arabic food !!!!🔥
Your videos are so fun and fast with USABLE advice! It's like being in love! Haha.
Amazing video! Mexican approved!
Been waiting for the next video but I knew it would be worth the wait.
Dude, the new kitchen looks awesome.
4:00 not really Mexican food, as long as you call it Mexican-inspired I'm good :) like your recipes. I do love how you create your own tortillas for the tostadas and don't gross on store-bought
Oh nooo! LOL I love your videos, and I very rarely have anything bad to say. And this is just more of a "pick" than anything, promise. But 2 garlic cloves for garlic shrimp? 😲I would use at least 6! Even though this is Mexican food, I can hear Uncle Roger's voice in my head saying, "Use the right amount, not the white amount." 🤣 I'm just teasing though. I love you! Use whatever amount tastes good to you (and that goes for anyone else reading this). Continue...
Bowl #1, too small. Bowl #2, too big. "You know what? I'll just make this slaw on a plate. That's just DUMB." LOL That's a ME moment. 😂
BTW this is the perfect video for me right now because we just bought some ingredients with Mexican food in mind yesterday. (Avocados, cilantro, red onions, shrimp, tomatoes...)
Big fan, tried the first recipe in this video tonight and it was SO delicous!
🎊 mate I have a (Mystery Box) package for you, Text the above username for acknowledgment,:.
Maybe I'm the only one, but I do not like the new animations lol. But still great video, great inspiration. 👍
Sorry Josh…but in the late 60s/early 70s, we had a Betty Crocker cookbook for kids which had “campfire eggs” that we loved to make. Hole in buttered bread, and crack the egg into the center as the bread toasts, then flip. We’d use the cut and grilled circles to dip into the runny eggs. Yummmmmm
Hello Mimi
whoever is doing the editing needs to cool off the Adderal, so much shit going on it actually takes quite a lot away from the video tbh Mike. Just some honest feedback because your videos are sincerely some of the best cooking ones out there
Love the video, I am salivating just watching you cook. I love the chickens, and all the fresh veggies just outside your door. I grew a few eggplants that I just picked, will try air frying some coin size slices.
I want Asian 15 min meals
Josh is a legend. The first vid i seen from this channel was you and him doing easy college meals
I like that you try out different things, and while I love the 15 Minute video series, I dont enjoy the overditing of this video
