I grew up on Stouffer's frozen meals - loved them in the '70s, love them now in 2024 although they are much, much smaller. But the best part was actually going to Stouffer's restaurants where the food was made from scratch, especially their yummy mushroom soup!

The best food recipes from the 70's and they were all delicious Thanks for the awesome Memories.🇺🇲📺🇺🇲

We still make tuna casserole, salmon patties, stuffed peppers, deviled eggs, pineapple upside down cake and meatloaf.

Chicken a la King was also served in puff pastry cases that were found in the frozen foods case

Creamed Chipped Beef came from WWII, and it was known as Sh_t on a Shingle by the troops

Don't smear tomato products on top of a meatloaf

A few of these predated the seventies. Chipped Beef on Toast was a WWII military dish.

Correction: Most of these predated the Seventies ( By DECADES)

Ham pineapple sounds yummy

I still order liver and onions when can find at restaurants. Made it last week but hard find in stores. Coated Deep fried are in menus now

I still eat salmon croquettes with home fries and biscuits 😋

That Chicken A La King looks like someone else already ate it.

The eras are off for many of these dishes. Chicken a la king and ham with pineapple date to the 1920s; salmon patties to the 1930s; and molded gelatin salads to the 1950s. When I think of the '70s, I remember fondue, Monte Cristo sandwiches, chimichangas, and of course 'salad bars', but even those things had earlier origins

Meatloaf is always good. Also makes a great sandwich.

Whoa, whoa!!! This stuff isn't 1970. More like 1950-1960.

Oh wow swedish meatballs... Deviled eggs were so popular

Would love to getting links to these recipes. That way I could print them out to be make them. Some if these are my husband favorites.

Mother Russias Beef Stroganoff, that was the best dish imo.

Oh wow swedish meatballs...

Most women never cooked from scratch in the 70s..unless you went to grandmas house. They were rarely home..the children did the cooking 😂

That's just not true. Every woman I knew in the 70s cooked at home and from scratch, even if they worked. Buying ready-made or frozen meals wasn't cost effective, even back then. The 70s were a time of a back to pioneer type movement because of our USA 200th anniversary in 1976. Many got into gardening, canning, home baked bread and the crafts like sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery and macrame. Companies came out with little hand grinders to make your own baby food. Even women who worked got into the pioneer spirit of homemaking as much as they could and while children helped, they absolutely did not do all the cooking. It doesn't sound like you were around in the 70s.

Not true, my wife worked part-time, looked after our children and cooked an evening meal from scratch. You must have lived out of a can or eaten out or at work. There weren't the abundance of ready meals like there are now in the 70's. I know because I used to do the food shopping.

@@geoffcrisp7225 Yes we had tv dinners, spaghetti Os etc. We were the latch key generation. Most women I knew rarely cooked and if they did 🤢. Even mothers that stayed at home had frozen tv dinners.

@@Tradwife4Life How sad for you, most of us enjoyed home-cooked meals from scratch. I rarely ever ate TV dinners or Spaghettios from a can. TV dinners were an extravagance and canned pasta was just nasty. Fast food was a rarity too, just like today. My daughters were latch key kids. I made their after school snacks on Sundays for the week and cooked dinner when I got home. As they got older, they helped with meals. Both cook homemade scratch meals today and raised my grandchildren on homemade rather than junk or fast foods. And now my granddaughters cook from scratch, it's not hard and isn't time consuming, it never has been. Let me just add that when I was working, I made all my own bread, jams and jellies, churned my own butter, and canned all my family's fruits and vegetables for the year. Don't tell me it can't be done.

As an Aussie and a 70’s baby, I can assure you that most of our meals were cooked from scratch at home. Eating out was a luxury, takeaway was a luxury. Convenience meals were relatively expensive and didn’t stretch on a single income household with 5 people. We butchered our own meat for the freezer, grew veggies, foraged for blackberries to make into homemade jam, had milk delivered to our doorstep from the farmer, had backyard hens to lay eggs. Mum made and mended clothing, Dad did mechanical repairs and even built a garage by himself. We also foraged in landfills for reusable items. Nothing ever went to waste. In Australia back then, the average man’s wage was $200. The average woman was a SAHM, with part time jobs on the side. My Mum worked in a bakery so we got free, fresh bread. Our whole family did seasonal fruit picking. Dad did deals with farmers to repair their farm equipment and got paid in livestock. Butchering meat was a family affair on the weekends. I have fond memories of my Mum baking desserts and getting lick the bowl clean. One of our favourite desserts was fresh white bakery bread spread with homemade blackberry jam and drizzled with cream. If you were thirsty, you either drank water or cordial because soft drinks were a treat. If you were hungry, you snacked on fresh fruit. If you wanted lollies or junk food, you had to earn the pocket money, then walk or ride your bike to the corner shop to buy them. I didn’t have Maccas or Pizza Hut until the 80’s. Eating a restaurant meal was a counter meal at the local pubs.

Most of them bring back memories of indigestion and trying to lose weight. Every third Friday my mom would alternate fish sticks, salmon patties, and tuna noodle casserole with peas because we were Catholic and could not eat meat on Friday. That casserole was so disgusting that I named it tuna de ja vu because two hours later you were belching the damn stuff up. The best day of my youth was when the Catholic church said nuts to the "no meat" rule. A sacrifice is not a sacrifice if you are forced to do it under pain of Hell if you don't. Dumb concept. We aren't bringing any of these back at my house. Too much fat, sugar, and carbs.
