One valuable thing I have learned in this series is that cooking is not to follow rigid recipes but to improvise with what you got. I haven't done any Frankie's recipe yet (because I live in Asia, indigents vary) but the way of thinking has helped me finish several dishes I wouldn't image in the past, and of course under a 2 $ budget.XD

This series has changed my life! I'm eating better and cheaper. The only problem is that I have to control myself to not eat everything in the first 2 days 😅

Really loving what you do man. It's helped get me back into the kitchen and experimenting with all foods.

[JessicaMary]

Okay but nobody has ever had leftover garlic bread. 🤣

So many meal prep videos just repeat the same meal four days a week! Nice to have so many options, thanks Frankie

7:55 please do a video on how the packet draw came to be?

I've made stuffed peppers before. The trick I find is par cooking them in the oven brushed with a little oil and herbs then stuffing them and finishing cooking. Sometimes the filling can hinder the underside of the pepper from cooking properly.

I use mozzarella or feta something easily melted and a bit of cheddar, and pre fried mushrooms, tuna from a can and spring onions.

Does anyone else love Frankie as much as me?

I wanted to let you know that you taught me this 5 years ago and I’ve been following these principles, ever since. No meal fatigue, because the ingredients are combined differently each time. Meal prepping like this has become a way of life. Thank you, Frankie! 💖

I would love a shopping list with this

[athenamitchell]

This show is one of my favorite things to watch!!! Love what you do! No waste! Everyone needs to watch this!

[Melissandrel]

The person who posts online, shouldn't there be the link to the previous video in the description? :) also adding a number after the title would help following the narrative :)

[joshspeed]

This series is great. I would love to see a version inspired by international meals with more spicing.

[duncanearley]

How about a link to the first part in the description?

[ellatoler]

This made my day! I don't know who decided to finally put this video out for us, but I thank you. Some good ideas here.

[girffrommars]

How did you make spaghetti dinner and your "family of 4' only ate a quart of the loaf of garlic bread?

[NinaSchexnider]

You motivate me to cook. Plus you are adorable and seem like you really care about people.

I recently suffered a heart failure. After returning from the hospital, I was put on a low sodium diet. In measurement, that is no more than 2000 mg in 1 day. They I am throwing down the gauntlet and challenging you to figure out a week's worth of meals that would fit into a low sodium diet.

Love this! Thank you for doing the second part of the video! I have some really good ideas now.
