Struggle Meals is the show that taught millions to cook for $2 a plate. Eventually it evolved into a half hour show with simple, but sophisticated dishes. As of March 2025, full episodes are being posted to YouTube, weekly. So catch up!

Struggle Meals. This was the big one for me. 100 half hour shows shot over 6 years. True integration with the crew, we all knew what to do without saying anything. A Daytime Emmy award win from 2 nominations, cementing the show as a true powerhouse. Struggle Meals was a day 1 Facebook watch show, and one of the first Snapchat channels (and had 2 million followers at its peak). As Tastemade morphed into a real television channel/network. We adjusted our production to make the show FIRST as a long form cooking show, but simultaneously did all that was needed for the social assets. Talk about having a lot to do! Set days were 11 hours almost always, and I learned that solo tv hosting is very much a marathon. I have only great memories.
