Yes cooking a red onion for a long time will take the color from the red onion. But I personally saw a white onion, in the soup stock. Looked like a Vadalia onion or Spanish onion.
A note on the chicken soup: cook the pasta separate so that the noodles don't absorb too much broth. This way, you can freeze the soup for a sick or rainy day and still have al dente noodles in your delicious, home cooked soup.
That's because coffee doesn't actually give you energy, it just stops you from being tired. Speaking as someone who's worked at coffee shops for years and regularly has 4-shot drinks.
That energy alone bring you back from the dead XD I often forget that I could make veggie stock with old carrots and celery, maybe I can freeze the stock into an icecube tray to use as a base for sauces too ?
Mélissandre L. Yes!!! Definitely a great idea! I like to chop and freeze fresh garlic that's about to get too soft and jusy pop one clove into whatever you're cooking. Freezers are so underutilized. Lol
Some times I just make a lot and when I strain all the solids I let the liquid cook down to about a third to fourth the amount and you get a concentrated amount and put it in your fridge in a jar for a couple months.
I seriously love you guys. So many things in this video I was about to throw out, I was just wondering what to eat tonight and was about to go to the store anyway so I was able to pick up the few things I was missing. Saved me money.
I'm surprised to find, that nobody else has come up with it in the comments: Stale bread can be turned into a delicious snack - croutons in under 10 minutes : 1. slice bread into cubes 2. rub bread cubes with oil 3. add spices 4. bake in oven until golden brown 5. enjoy
Hey Frankie, how much patreon money do I have to donate to get Frankie's world back? I it's not that I don't like my basic math lesson with my cooking show; But I loved my interesting history lesson with my cooking show.
I love struggle meals, I star watching it on facebook sunday morning but now (besides I watched) I’m watching it again because is just fantastic!!!! I can’t believe that it almost doesn’t have as much views as it deserveeeee! Frankie is a miracle and is danm awesome! Lo e tastemade and I should been here long time ago but now i’m here. Love for all of you guys that can make this posibleee
We have it, and we call it bread pudding here :o. I don't know what the video's on about, no one has ever heard of a bread casserole around here. Everyone's heard of bread pudding
I love how everyone in this comment thread was like .... maybe it’s an American thing??? And then us Americans were like ???? No we don’t know either. 😂
Can also make french toast in the microwave with the stale bread if there isn't a lot of it. Similar to the casserole but then put the bowl one to two minutes in the microwave instead.
Thank you for the vid, Frankie! We're currently buying our first home and I'm holding these recipes dear to me with the expectations of upcoming food and money struggles, lol!
I so agree. I would have gasped that that half a chicken would have been thrown away! I mean you could make chicken salad or soup or add in a wrap then use the bones for soup. We are far removed from our grandparents that survived the great depression!
When meat is a little dry adding water will make it moist. Or, topping it with Gravy, Applesauce or Cranberry Sauce gives it new life. A mushy Banana or other fruit can be microwaved into a fruit spread to top Oatmeal, Peanut Butter Toast, Bagel, Ice Cream or Yogurt yum
Can we have a video on how to keep a cast iron skillet as mirror black the one(s) seen hear? I think I have seen about everything including eggs (egg mixture) cook in on on this show... But no amount of effort can get my cast iron that seasoned.
I have no problems eating the heels of the bread loaf. I put one in my brown sugar. Also....stuffing came to mind from the bread, celery, onions...even the carrot. I would make stuffing, put in baking dish, top w pork chops or chicken. Bake and voila.
As someone from a third world country our difference seems very apparent now. We do this on the daily. I feel like if I move there I could live off people's trash, and have better meals than what I have now. LUXURY.
i tried making the banana bread recipe because i didn’t have enough bananas to make a whole loaf and I followed it exactly as instructed and it turned out awful, it could be my fault but the lack of flour in the recipe does somewhat give me reason to believe that this recipe just isn’t all there. Has anyone else tried this recipe and if so what were your results?
“You need a big standing mixer for banana bread” Nope, I don’t think that’s true, because I’ve made a number of banana breads and I don’t even know what that is.
You need a stand mixer if you're making a lot at once, but a single loaf is very doable by hand or with a hand mixer. Remember, Frankie comes from a restaurant background where they're often making large volumes of food.
I have been struggling meals for 5 years now, and I'm not that desperate yet. I even went three days without eating this week, and I still won't eat rotting food.
i will add to the chorus of people saying banana bread isn't hard, and you don't need a stand mixer. however, you do need three overripe bananas, so this is a great thing to do when you only have one, or you're just cooking for yourself, or you don't want to share. :D and if anyone's looking for that mug, it's the "banana pirate" mug on redbubble.com. :D
We bring groceries to my nephew's family (his mom and four kids total). My mom has watched their mom root through the groceries and throw out stuff from our pantry right in front of my mom, on account of "it's out of date" or "I don't know when this was packaged." Could've wrung her neck. If you're not gonna use it, at least give it back to US! (And we'll buy you new cans of whichever bits from the food bank that you would otherwise throw out -- just trade 'em over!)
I hope this series never goes away
Agreed

many people forget to include the introduction in the timestamps, so thank you. I don't want to miss a thing!
this guy is so entertaining and his tips are so useful. he needs his own tv show asap
the onion was red. and then turned into white whole and live. what a magic.
Michael Jackson made this years before the onion.
Cause it was on heat for 1 and a half hours.
Yes cooking a red onion for a long time will take the color from the red onion. But I personally saw a white onion, in the soup stock. Looked like a Vadalia onion or Spanish onion.
@@MzClementine Yes I saw it too
The red onion was just an example man
A note on the chicken soup: cook the pasta separate so that the noodles don't absorb too much broth. This way, you can freeze the soup for a sick or rainy day and still have al dente noodles in your delicious, home cooked soup.
separately not separate
I don't think that's sugar in the packet drawer
lol
Columbia’s marching sugar
I drink Death Wish high caffeine coffee regularly and I still don’t even come close to having this much energy.
Cynthia T isn’t too much caffeine dangerous?
Just try coke.
"nuts. thats what i am."
@@haleyapplegate4039 like the drink or the drug?
That's because coffee doesn't actually give you energy, it just stops you from being tired. Speaking as someone who's worked at coffee shops for years and regularly has 4-shot drinks.
You do not need a stand mixer for banana bread. You need a spoon and mixing bowl.
I was thinking the same thing, I don't have a stand mixer but i still make a banana bread that all my people love.
You don't need a microwave either. A bowl and a whisk and you're good to go.
@@deadphysh8966 could you give me the recipe?
You beat me to it. Stop that.
This dude must be great with small kids, the energy level seems like a match made in heaven!
That energy alone bring you back from the dead XD I often forget that I could make veggie stock with old carrots and celery, maybe I can freeze the stock into an icecube tray to use as a base for sauces too ?

COol!
Your energy is contagious Frankie!
Banana bread is super easy to make but I think there mug makes it approachable. I need more "use old ingredients" videos like this! Make more please!!
"Nuts!"
*That's what I have*
Just in case we were confused 🤣
Love the bread idea. I also save bananas on the verge of death by freezing them for smoothies or banana “ice cream” later!
Banana bread is one of the first things I learned how to cook. It’s INSANELY fast an easy.
I'm surprised to find, that nobody else has come up with it in the comments:
Stale bread can be turned into a delicious snack - croutons in under 10 minutes :
1. slice bread into cubes
2. rub bread cubes with oil
3. add spices
4. bake in oven until golden brown
5. enjoy
4:28 Tastemade, stop it, please. Frankie doesn't belong in that garbage can. Look at how sad he is. Just stop.
Farah Sofiah awww... somebody threw away a perfectly good food show host?!?
I just love the way he treats Food😍
You can tell he enjoys what he does. I really respect that
;)
I love your show!
Life can be a struggle, but a good meal does not have to be. We can make creative, nutritious, and inventive dishes for under $2 a plate.
Aidan Yelsma Have you seen the brothers green eats channel? They make a lot of videos with that idea
They're not and will not ever be as entertaining as Frankie, I could watch Frankie while eating some popcorn.
Why are you repeating the intro? Its very odd
Great video, I'd like a part two.
Hey Frankie, how much patreon money do I have to donate to get Frankie's world back? I it's not that I don't like my basic math lesson with my cooking show; But I loved my interesting history lesson with my cooking show.

Love for all of you guys that can make this posibleee
Help us spread the word, then we'll get the views !
I love this guy! Thanks for the recipes and of course the enthusiasm!
My most favorite RUclips cooking show! God bless you frankie!
Frankie is like Alton Brown and Dave Ramsey rolled up into one
Great episode! More episodes like this please! :)
I look forward to this every week
The rubber banned typed out just made me laugh. Thank you whoever edited this😂
Love this! I'm going to try the banana mug bread. Yum!
Most useful struggle meals episode yet! I am almost constantly throwing out produce that didnt stay crisp as long as i hoped.
Brilliant! Yummy recipes.
You can also freeze bones and make stock whenever you have enough. I generally wait until I fill up a gallon bag.
I super love this guy.
You're awesomeness!! My grandma taught me that & now I'm teaching my kids.. 😊
Love This series
Im glad im not the only one who feels strongly about the whole hotdog & hotdog bun situation
I love this man :D thank you for making my life better !
This guy is so amazing, I love him.
That soup reminds me of the filipino Sopas
And really, Frankie's energy and comedy brings ME back to life.
"Jesus is the bread"
-lady from that one vine
im a little sad the carrots weren't peeled before going in the chicken noodle soup
Casey Li The skin has a higher concentration of all the nutrients in the carrot. Potatoes are the same way, you should always try to keep the skin.
@@Brynwyn123 yeah, I don't get why people hate the skin so much. The texture's not even that bad, and I have texture aversions most people don't have.
Did you forget flour in the banana mug bread?
This guy is cool AF in my book
loving these editing choices
Wasnt that bread pudding? Never heard of bread casserole? Maybe it's because I'm English
pretty sure its bread pudding
Must definitely be a regional thing. I'm Canadian and I've never heard of bread casserole before either.
Pretty sure Americans don't have bread pudding, so he gave it another name
We have it, and we call it bread pudding here :o. I don't know what the video's on about, no one has ever heard of a bread casserole around here. Everyone's heard of bread pudding
I love how everyone in this comment thread was like .... maybe it’s an American thing??? And then us Americans were like ???? No we don’t know either. 😂
Love this serie!
Love the idea of a casserole i can turn it savoury.
Are there any packets you wouldn't reccomend keeping in the drawer?
I would imagine it depends on your interests. You wouldn't keep something you like. Unless, ypu know someone who could use it.
Can also make french toast in the microwave with the stale bread if there isn't a lot of it. Similar to the casserole but then put the bowl one to two minutes in the microwave instead.
Thank you for the vid, Frankie! We're currently buying our first home and I'm holding these recipes dear to me with the expectations of upcoming food and money struggles, lol!
I always take home the veggie tray no one touches at parties for the celery and carrots. FREE ;)
I know right. There's also broccoli, cauliflower, grape tom, and sometimes sugar snap peas or bell pepper slices.
Living for this!! 🤣 fun entertaining informative
I so agree. I would have gasped that that half a chicken would have been thrown away! I mean you could make chicken salad or soup or add in a wrap then use the bones for soup. We are far removed from our grandparents that survived the great depression!
This series really knows about that college struggle
When meat is a little dry adding water will make it moist. Or, topping it with Gravy, Applesauce or Cranberry Sauce gives it new life.
A mushy Banana or other fruit can be microwaved into a fruit spread to top Oatmeal, Peanut Butter Toast, Bagel, Ice Cream or Yogurt yum
Finally, a cooking video for me #barelyfunctioningadult
Who is this? Why am i suddenly in love?
Love these!
I HATE waste so I LOVE this episode! You need to do another Back From The Dead episode for Halloween for this year.
Can we have a video on how to keep a cast iron skillet as mirror black the one(s) seen hear?
I think I have seen about everything including eggs (egg mixture) cook in on on this show... But no amount of effort can get my cast iron that seasoned.
What if I don’t have a package drawer? I’m not American and I don’t get takeout...
Freyja Svansdóttir The good thing about condiments is that they last a really long time. Yes, you'll spend some money, but it's a good investment.
loving the video
I have no problems eating the heels of the bread loaf. I put one in my brown sugar. Also....stuffing came to mind from the bread, celery, onions...even the carrot. I would make stuffing, put in baking dish, top w pork chops or chicken. Bake and voila.
in the philippines, it's not a struggle meal. Our struggle meal is literally the packets on your drawer on top of our steaming rice.
throw your wilted veggies in cold water, it will make them crunchy again
Is there a place where I can get the the recipe? He never tells you the amount of the ingredients.
Regardless, LOVE THIS SERIES ♥️
Frankie puts all of his recipes on his Facebook site.
Always sounds so surprised once he finally eats the thing, almost like he wasn’t actually expecting it to work😂
He sounds like the whole cast of Always Sunny talking simultaneously
10/10
Now back to: "Its technically a meal"
Bro I have made the French toast casserole before and I really wanna make it again.
Cool video!
Love it!
where do I get that mug????
I made the banana bread in a mug and it was more of a pudding. I still ate it tho. It was good
Honestly, I buy the chicken with the idea that it is going to be stock eventually. I was never going to "throw it away."
You can make pesto from carrot greens. Cheaper to make and buy. My family puts it over pasta.
I still miss Frankie's world
Amazing 👌🏻
As someone from a third world country our difference seems very apparent now. We do this on the daily. I feel like if I move there I could live off people's trash, and have better meals than what I have now. LUXURY.
What should I do with my gross over salted over cooked steak??
I made the mug banana bread, and it came out as basically chocolate banana eggs.... how is there not flour in this recipe? Am I missing something?
This reminds me of a good eats knockoff that is broke
another saving part is making fermented food^^ keep 2-4 weeks, fridge, or saving in pots.
What happened to the gas bill?
My banana mug cake didnt work... I think it needs flour
i tried making the banana bread recipe because i didn’t have enough bananas to make a whole loaf and I followed it exactly as instructed and it turned out awful, it could be my fault but the lack of flour in the recipe does somewhat give me reason to believe that this recipe just isn’t all there. Has anyone else tried this recipe and if so what were your results?
Friend, it was like the veggie zombie Apocalypse!! Dinner is so good!!
How much flour?
Good job chef!
Can I have the recipe for mayonnaise you made in struggle meals please ???♥️♥️♥️♥️
I needed this
“You need a big standing mixer for banana bread”
Nope, I don’t think that’s true, because I’ve made a number of banana breads and I don’t even know what that is.

I messed up somewhere really bad 😂 I did the banana mug muffin, and Lord, it looks like mud pie. Ahhhhh!!!!!
Great vidoe, nice ideas keep it but
