    I really appreciate how June normalises using things that are expired because people now a days are so fast to check a date on a package and throw it away, it's refreshing to see someone advocate for using everything and not just throwing things away the second it's not perfect anymore.

    • @charityszakel2794

      But what can you eat that’s expired or has mold? Bc my bf and I argue about this all the time like with bread I just tear the the mold off and I don’t eat soft fruit that has mold but I will cut the mold off of hard fruits and veggies that’s ok right?

      I did not expect comments lol and feel like I should explain. Money was tight at the time, and my husband had to travel for work - he gets reimbursed after the trip, but needs to pay for gas/food during. He had to have that money in his bank account, and we had just paid our bills so both of us were low on funds. Also, it was the week between paychecks of course! Everything was fine though, we had plenty of food in the freezer/pantry to use and I was able to buy the extra items that I needed (fresher ingredients). I knew that I could make it work, and was not worried at all. I just thought of it as a kind of game, like Chopped or something! What can I make with these random freezer/pantry items for this meal? It was satisfying that I could survive on what I had, and use up things that were just sitting around. I appreciate the comments and concern though!

    What I love about these videos is it shows just how intuitive and creative she is in the kitchen.

Knowing what ingridents and flavor profiles will work together and experimenting alot. Plus you REALLY get the feeling she is cooking - she is doing so much from scratch it's incredible. I don't think I really see that much with any other cooks here on TH-cam.

    Definitely want more Fred. He reminds me of Crusty. Safiya and Tyler's senior cat.

    Awh Fred used to be feral! I can tell because when some vets fix feral cats, they slightly dock one of their ears as an indicator 🥺✨ what a sweet boy!

    I've done all my chores and been patient today, despite adversity. So, now my reward is watching June, and blissfully living vicariously thru my screen. 💜

    I live for these videos. Not only does June teach me a lot about food and cooking, but I like seeing her use old food containers for storage and using food that I would have thrown away

    June is amazing all around. I absolutely adore her cooking methods and honesty!

    June challenging expiration dates is something I never knew I needed
