This has become one of my favorite cooking shows. Most of what's on food network these days relies on cheap gimmicks or drama and I miss the days of just straight up cooking shows. This show is like a breath of fresh air and the host simply shows you great ways of making meals on a budget. I've actually gained a lot of helpful tips from watching a couple episodes of this which is more than I can say for most of what's on the food Network or the cooking channel. The host is fun, he keeps things simple , and he utilizes things most of us actually have in our kitchens. I love the idea that he breaks down meals based on their cost. I highly recommend this show for all the home cooks out there.
