She is probably the only chef I see who never wastes a single item! I'm impressed!! Have a lot to learn from her :)

This woman is the definition of "there's food at home".

This is the “ June needs a raise” petition. Delish, if we get June 2,000 signatures aka likes, will you give her a raise? UPDATE: we are now at 3k signatures. Delish, we know you’ve seen this comment. What’s it going to take to give our girl a raise?

Aaron getting her an ice cream sandwich in the middle of dinner to help with her spicy mouth was really cute.

June I have been dealing with eating disorder for over a decade but watching your video is helping me to define what food should be and I'm beginning to appreciate food in its entirety again. You are the only one KZfaqr I can watch the entire hour long video joyfully the whole time. Thank you for your endearing videos, pockets of vulnerability and just your awesome self! ❤️

Back solely for June content. I hope y'all gave her a raise. I don't sit around watching anyone else for an hour and a half in the middle of the day.

I want to see a whole series where June goes to *someone else’s* pantry and finds what they have to make an impromptu dinner.

Your grocery haul diagrams make my little organized heart so happy.

The amount of respect this woman has garnered is incredible. She just powers through her meals, I'm humbled and will be returning to learn more! And khichdi she pronounces it right aaron!! I must say you are lucky to have a thrifty wife. Love from India.❤️

Your honesty about your depression was a gift to us all, as i think so many of us are going through similar things. Thanks for staying so real

Can Netflix give June her own show stat?

I kinda just want to give Aaron a meal that consists of just a giant spicy pepper

Seeing June reuse washed food containers and jars for storing things and seasoning/spices is wonderful.

June's depression meals: salmon tacos with homemade jicama slaw My depression meal: a sleeve of saltines while watching June cook.

You know how you re-watch episodes of your favorite show as a background comfort? I do this with Budget Eats. I adore you, June. You are endlessly creative, entertaining, and comforting.

the butternut squash rice pudding is very in the spirit of Turkish Noah's Ark Pudding (the recipe in the back of the shelled wheat packet). It's a pudding made during certain religious celebrations in Turkey. My mum and grandma make it with whatever fruits and grains that are available to them, so it's different each year (and every family has their own recipe). This pudding is then given to neighbours and relatives in little bowls and it helps bring people together. The reason it's called Noah's Ark Pudding is because it is believed that "when Noah's Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat, Noah's family celebrated with a special dish. Since their supplies were nearly exhausted, what was left (primarily grains, dried fruits and the like) was cooked together to form a pudding".

June’s budget eat series is truly the best thing the internet has to offer

Aaron was probably that kid running around in winter with just a t shirt on while it’s literally freezing saying “it’s not even cold”

I know frugality is important to all of us and June especially, but she deserves a raise! June deserves to be a millionaire.

"June lied to me. I almost died" "That was kind of my plan." 😂😂😂

June's hair gets increasingly rockstar as quarantine goes on. I'm here for it.

The fact that June acknowledges her depression being a little worse on Tuesday and gives us all a little self care reminder 😭 straight up brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

Not that I'm some kind of PROFESSIONAL PERSON, but I normally avoid commenting on vids because if I comment, I'm almost compelled to read the comments. That's always a mistake. However, I'm breaking my own rule to tell you this: You are absolutely delightful! I'm so deeply impressed with your skill, your attitude, your level of compassion and and obvious empathy for others, and your use of food as an opportunity to show your love. Thank you, so much, for sharing your life and abilities with all of us. This has been an especially difficult year (duh), but you, and others like you, have been lights in the dark and I know I'm not the only one who appreciates your efforts. Also, capsaicin raises serotonin and oxytocin levels, which assist in creating feelings of happiness and strengthening bonds with those we love. Your unfettered attempts to seek joy in the midst of a mental health slump are beautiful and inspirational. The fact that you chose to share your struggle is simply, and without hyperbole, heroic. 💜

I love watching these. So calming. I'm going though a rough patch with my depression right now and legit burst out crying when she gave the "it's ok to not feel ok " right now. I'm watching as I make some enchiladas suizas. Because cooking brings me joy

This might get buried and this is never the focus of June's videos, but I always wanted to say this... Thanks for being a positive and relatable person in these videos to showcase a fairly typical Asian-American style of cooking and methodology in the kitchen. Especially with all the anti-Asian vitriol going on more than ever. Lots of media both fiction and "reality television" like depict how Asians eat and cook as challenge foods or somehow demean it as ghoulish and disgusting. It's showcasing "the exotic" to ridicule and for people to gawk at and scorn. My parents are Filipino and my dad had a strong ethnically Chinese background and did not grow up in a really developed area. So much of style of cooking and flavors are simple with Chinese roots and focus on not wasting and making either simple or cheap ingredients delicious-- and they were. I hate the relationship many Americans have with Asian food, either seeing it as unclean and disgusting, cheap and inauthentic, or needing to be "polished" and elevated to something unrecognizable to be palatable. Along with June's innovation, respect for other cultures by having dishes inspired by them, and June's ability to maturely discuss topics like depression and racist-based, outdated ideas about MSG, seeing her stuff is always so validating. Thank you, June.

Aaron feeding June ice cream was the most intimate PDA I’ve seen yet

I've watched every budget eats like 2-5 times each, and every time I still love them and take away more ideas. These are comfort videos!

I would love to see a “splurge” June meal. Where the budget is as big as she’d like.

Can we give June like $200 for the week? So she can splurge and buy allllllll the best products and not be limited by her budget? I would LOVE to see that

I’m literally only subbed to this channel for June’s content

As someone who lives near her. I need to know where she gets the dollar stock bones from.... it’s killing me

Sometimes I find myself wondering what June does in between meals...and then I realize: dishes. June does dishes in between meals.

An hour and a half of June?? Delish, you're so good to us.

June: *critiquing salmon salad in lots of detail* Aaron in the background: *DUMPING SPICES ON SALAD*

Sometimes I wonder if Aaron's taste buds work without the aid of chili pepper

The real feelings and the wisdom from 11:58-12:22 has really gotten me through the past few days... thank you for being so wonderful, June.

June : double peel your butternut squash because it has a second layer of skin that’s tough and terrible to eat Also June : I’m going to eat fish bones

Yo... Delish should update june's blender game. Considering the fact that she is using her appliances for her job, her job should hook up her kitchen

How this woman is able to power through is awe inspiring. I cant even get up to throw something in the microwave when im having a low day. You’re such a trooper June 💕

I love that u knew what to do with the jicama. U prepared it almost exactly how my Mexican cook friend made it, like a slaw salad with carrots. He even used pepper flakes and citrus too.

You know, Aaron is growing on me, especially this episode where he seems to genuinely be trying to take care of June during a bad week. I like to imagine he suggested sweet dinner because he knew June would want sweet on a bad day. I actually love their dynamic these days. Plus June is a total rockstar and carries this channel.

My search history be like: What is jicama Can you eat fish bones Where can you buy wheat berries

June honestly makes me feel more comfortable in everything I do in the kitchen and in life because she just shows what it’s like to be a human to make mistakes to learn from them and show her mental state it’s strangely comforting

I am in love with June!!! I've been watching several of her videos (love how long they are) and omg what a find. She's an absolute gift! I'm so happy to see there is SO much more content to explore and be inspired by. Creativity, personality, humor, knowledge, heart.....love, love,love!

Being Alaskan native we have to find our own food because it's so expensive to shop here. With salmon we brine them shortly then smoke it and dry til ready to eat, all the oils make it soft but yet chewy. Because our foods are primarily from the land and that's mainly where we get our nutrients and vitamins from is fish oil, halibut oil, seal oil. It might sound crazy but we can't really grow veggies or much fruit naturally unless it's from tundra. Crazy right? 😁 love your budget eats!!! You're the best!!

Who could possible give June a thumbs down? Offended.

I think June should try a "mediterranean" diet budget eats! I love these so much

Didn’t regret watching this video the whole way through. Omg In love with how she’s so creative with her ingredients. Her personality makes it 100x better too I just can’t stop watching

Aaron feeding June the Ice Cream sandwich, telling her she needed it was so sweet. I also second his suggestion of an ice cream sandwich series.

This woman is carrying this channel. She don't need a raise she need to go out on her own and make $$$$coins

June's laid back attitude about food is just so enjoyable to watch I just love watching her cook.

June really deserves a raise, a full set of grade a kitchen appliances and a bigger apartment! So many people are watching for this content only

I just felt the love in their relationship when he broke out the ice cream sandwich.

I'm a simple person. I see June, I click. LOVE THIS SERIES!

The wheat berries are called Bugday in Turkish and you did them justice with rose water and cinnamon without even knowing they are commonly used in Turkish desserts together 😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

June: *entire paragraphs of her observations on salmon oil* Aaron: *dousing his meal with gochugaru in the background*

June saying “but that’s okay because that just means we’re gonna take our time” was honestly something I needed. Love the honesty and love the advice, hope your feeling a little better now

This is exactly what I need: A video of Budget Eats where Aaron is the one cooking all week. June will be the one doing the ranking and judging on the food and yes! Aaron has to accommodate to June's preferences and not so spicy taste. Thank you and... end of transmission.

is it me, or should she give herself 10/10 in every meal? I eat jicama often, and she used it in so many ways- totally inspired me. I would love to see more fruit incorporated into savory dishes

I think Aaron is very sweet and loving. You guys are adorable. When you were having a sadder-day (as I call them), he was very supportive of your dish..(Not saying he wouldn't of been) because he knows how happy you get when he is happy; Especially when he enjoys your cooking. I hope your days stay bright June, you make many of us happy and entertained!

As a wheat farmer myself, I have to say that cooking wheat grains like that is an art - congrats on the execution!

I appreciate that you mention a small snip-it of mental health. Lots of people don’t know, including me - sometimes, it’s ok to not be ok. Lots of hugs to you! 🤗

I would love to see one of June's shopping trips. Where does she get such great deals and how does she pick everything?

I love how real and fresh this channel is. Perfectly imperfect and absolutely charming. Definitely subscribing.

June is the best please more June always. but also let her rest too. So June at a regular cadence that lets her take time off. Juuuuune. Aww the depression remarks. We love you, thank you for taking care of yourself

What ive loved learning from June is how she’ll find an ingredient she’s never cooked with before and decided that she’s buying it and going to feature it in the week’s meals. Ps. I bought MSG and it’s borderline life changing

This guy tastebuds are already dead by the spicy foods, thats my theory 💀✌

I cannot believe how creative June is! I’ve never watched a more creative chef, in a realistic kitchen (which is a huge plus for me!) and with such a sweet and charming personality! I will watch anything you make June! 👏🏻🥰

June has been showing up in my youtube recommendations for months, but I never clicked til tonight. WOW. It is such a joy to find someone who is both frugal, frank, creative, and open about her mental health. And she is hilarious and I am going to cook more with fish this month. June, I am an official, Instant fan!

In Mexico we eat jicama with a little bit of lime, Tajín, Chamoy and other spicy spices/sauces like that. It may seem weird but it’s the best thing ever. You need to try jicama like that June!!

She has such a talent for stretching food! I want to hear her tips for stretching a dollar in NYC! I can never find grocery store deals like she can!

As someone with depression, I really empathised with June’s comments at 12:00.. nicely put June- it IS ok to. It be ok!- take care of yourselves everybody!🥰

Delish get June and Aaron outta that small studio apartment. Y’all really doing her dirty by letting her carry the entire team, yet not providing her the means to live in a better place.

The fact that she is so open with her bad days and with her depression makes me like her even more. Love you June, you just inspired me to keep on going on a dark day, too!

Watching Budget Eats is always so relaxing. Almost a form of meditation. Thank you, June!

I’ve tried to channel June and used the juice from canned mandarin oranges as the simple syrup in a lemon drop cocktail for a party. It was such a hit.

I think this is, by far, my favourite series. This series feels like a mixture of food adventures, cooking shows, with a dash of light hearted comedy. I have massive respect for June's attitude for food, whereby she utilizes every last bit of the item - which isn't something you see on a lot of these cooking shows by these "top chefs". The amount of food bits they throw away is wasteful.

Please don’t overwork June. We love her, don’t want to lose her.

I put on June’s videos as reruns almost everyday while working for the soothing, asmr, cooking voice content. The best home cook 💕

June has such a massive knowledge about food and cooking. I love it.

I have never seen Aaron wiggle. You know that pudding was great.

The openness about her emotional state and the garlic meditation....I love her so much I can't handle it sometimes

The way I’ve watched each budget eats video over 4 times in one go; this series is amazing! Love and respect June💜

She needs her own show. She's amazing 👏

I find it mind-blowing how she comes up with so many meal ideas 🤯

i swear she could probably make milk out of tomatoes or somethin

June! Where have you been my entire life!? Your videos popped up on my feed and I have been staying up all week to binge on your videos! I wish I found you sooner. 💛 Your joy and your creativity for what you are creating....the way you pour so much care into each plate of flavor brings so much joy to be able to watch you work. Thank your sharing your passion for flavors with us in these budget videos! May success continue to bloom 100 fold continuously into 2022 and beyond! You are magical June!!!

Just wanted to say really appreciate your honesty with depression as I’m going through that too and just starting to explore meds again. Always love your videos and your quirky banter and wittiness! Keep it up chica! You’re awesome and are a treasure wherever you contribute!

Does anyone else love how clean June's kitchen is? All. The. Time.

Aaron feeding June the ice cream sandwich (while requesting "ice cream sammy week) was the cutest part of the video.

khichdi is literally the best dish ever, (I'm from india) and my fav khichdi combo is basically a simply salted yellow dal khichdi with a simple lemony salad (you can also just skip the lemon if you want) with some dahi (yogurt) AND sone beautifully delish aachar (pickle) ((the pickle we have in india is v different from the standard american pickle but ig you can find some reallllyyyyy good spicy sour indian pickles in your asian/indian grocery stores) p.s. I think y'all should try some indian chilly pickles (mirchi ka aachar) since arron likes spicy food SO DAMN MUCH EDIT- omg I forgot but please PLEASE don't forget to add some (a lot) of ghee on top of your khichdi bowl bec ghee just alleviates the whole dish!!?

I really appreciate how authentic you are and I look forward to the taste test with Aaron. Mostly I appreciate how you find options for your budget and meal. Somethings I might not think to eat but would totally want to try. This is a great series and I truly appreciate all your passion and love that you try... I haven't seen you balk at any challenge. Amazing. Love love love

June is the cutest person in the planet literally protect her above everything

Commenting for the algorithym and to tell Delish that June is a treasure and basically the only delish chef I watch. You better be taking care of her!! 😍

these are probably in my top 3 favourite video series ever. so calming and I love learning about how to use up everything you're cooking with. also June is just delightful!

Man, first time watching and I couldn’t stop. I will definitely be back for June!

Aaron standing behind June, shaking endless amounts of chili powder into his food, is such a mood

DID AARON SINGE HIS TASTEBUDS AS A CHILD?! How is nothing ever spicy enough?!

I must say after watching several videos in a row... you have inspired me to jump off the take out route and find my confidence in cooking at home again. Talk about a long AF rut. Love how brave you are with your ingredients/recipes. Keep it coming, June. Love Aaron's brutal honesty, too. Everyone needs a good critic in the kitchen. You're awesome, June.

June is the best! Even when she says she’s depressed, she still makes me smile.
