In this episode of Never Too Much, we dive into the world of struggle meals — the go-to dishes you make when the budget is tight, the fridge is looking empty, or you’ve just had a long day and need something fast.

We break down our personal struggle meals growing up, what we still make today, and the creative ways people turn simple ingredients into something fire. From Mexican pantry staples to college-kitchen hacks to the broke-boy classics everybody knows, we keep it real and compare the meals that got us through some tough times.

The conversation gets funny, nostalgic, and a little wild as we talk about:

• Our personal struggle-meal origins
• The cheapest meals that actually slap
• Cultural struggle-meal differences
• The CU student go-to meals
• Listener submissions & insane combos
• Why these meals stick with us even when we’re not broke
• What we’d cook if we had only $10 today
• How food ties into childhood, hustle, and identity

If you’ve ever stretched a dollar, lived on campus, or been creative with what’s in the pantry… this one hits home.
