Aside from June's genius and resourcefulness with budget and recipe creation, it is SO REFRESHING to see food being cooked in a REAL kitchen, not one that has been glammed up for the cameras or stocked with inaccessible and pretentious gadgets. I'm so inspired seeing someone make do with what is on hand all the time, and presenting it with an honest and endearing personality (not the overly saccharine fakeness one sees on many cooking shows). June you're my hero!

People who complained about her not using meat have never struggled. If you only have $25 you stretch that, It's between buying a pound of ground beef, or some rice and beans and veggies, you go for the option with more food everytime.

Really tho. My family once went almost a year w/o meat despite it having been a pretty common occurrence in our house. It sucked, and we got stuck eating more fruits than food until things changed. Only way we got meat is if someone broght it over. At least were were able to have fruits, I knew people in worse situations who couldn't even have that.

This is amazing because she was completely transparent about her food, it's failures, where it could improve, how many ingredients she used, multi-purposing everything, calling her mom for advice, working with small kitchen space, all that, and it was one of those videos that more people can relate to, cause not everyone has a pantry with extra virgin olive oil or vegetable shortening or wine or nutmeg or whatever. There's not a lot of content I can comfortably watch for almost an hour, so I really love this.

I’m so confused why the comments seem to hate Aaron. He never said anything rude just gave his honest feedback and she was never upset. 7/10 is not a bad rating and it just goes to show how sensitive people are that they think so. 7/10 means “good solid meal, not great or amazing.” Not every meal is 10/10 and that doesn’t make it bad. There is a ton of space between bad and amazing. Sounds like some people only want to be told everything they do is perfect no matter the truth.

I understand why people are hating on Aaron in the comments. June puts a lot of work into cooking and budgeting - his critiques aren’t even constructive criticism, it’s just him nitpicking. If you want more flavour (not salty, sweet, or spicy enough), you add it in your meal afterwards - even professional chefs can’t cater exactly to their customer’s tastebuds 100%. It’s not considered to be “sensitive” if some people find him to be annoying. If he actually gave some constructive criticism, people wouldn’t find him to be annoying. Truthfully, he needs to lower his “standards” if you’re cooking on a tight budget - what is he expecting, a 3 Michelin star meal?

MUST-MUST-HAVES are rice vinegar, sesame oil (found Waaayyy cheaper at asian markets than Walmart), honey, and quality soy sauce (kikkoman, be gone!), CJ Foods new crop short grain (sushi rice), rooster Sriracha sauce, toasted sesame seeds. These have to be restocked monthly at my house. Best wishes 😘

apparently there were plans for it to be made into a TV show. from the business insider article about June and what happened between her and Delish/Hearst, it seems that at least one reason why she was hesitant for it to be made into a TV show was that it would dilute the honesty of it. and I agree. the appealing factor of this for so many is that it's realistic, achievable, comparable to viewers' home kitchens. a home kitchen, not a fancy studio one.

I get what you're saying but I would like to point out that the vast majority of food waste in America is completely unnecessary and manufactured. As in, grocery stores are throwing out tons and tons of perfectly good food every day simply because they're approaching their expiration date, rather than giving it to families in need and people who can't afford to buy those products. Food waste isn't really because of of the average consumer, it's because of the massive companies who are only willing to sell food for monetary gain.

Second, even if they just gave it away at the store, I still think that most people to take it would be the people who need it, because in that case, people who are more well off would instead be paying for freshness. They'd be paying for a fresher product than what's being given away.
