Jess first began her TikTok account, @applesauceandadhd, back in January of 2023. Since then, she's made a multitude of "aggressive tutorials" for all kinds of delicious recipes. Like...

What I love about her tutorials is that while they may be "aggressive" for humor sake, they're also very real. She a tired Midwestern mama who's trying to get dinner on the table for a whole family, and she's gotta do it on a budget.
