This might sound funny but I was taught in school to tie my hair back, wash my hands, and put on my apron before I started cooking. Now that I’m old, you have no idea how much I appreciate seeing a young person following these rules. It makes me happy. 😃

Loving this! I am a family of ME, so this is how I cook. Once or twice a month I make two or three recipes at a time. About 4 or 5 portions each and pack them up like this so I have a variety of dinners to enjoy after a long work day.

About 2-3 times a year, I use 5 lbs ground meat, whatever I wind up with, and make a huge batch of small meatballs. Bake in the oven, then freeze on clean cookie sheets, then bag up in zip lock bags. I can then use them with pasta, simmer a few in bar b que sauce, mushroom soup, or sweet and sour. I can then make dinners, or sub sandwiches, have only one big mess to clean up and don't have to wait an hour to eat.

I also am solo so cook a bit like this but I make 5-6 recipes and freeze meals for the month. I also use my crock pot to make soups to freeze for those days when I don't feel like a heavier meal. Glad to know others do the same.
My mom, 94 years old, passed away this year. ❤️ She made the best meatloaf. It called for rolled oats, milk( which I’m sure was used to stretch, eggs, beef or “meatloaf mix” , onions. The “W” sauce. The best part was the topping. Ketchup, dry mustard, brown sugar and a little bit of nutmeg. The house would smell amazing.

Sorry for your loss. Your mom's meatloaf, especially the topping, sounds so good! I love it when home cooking smells engulf a home!!
Such a great idea. I grew up eating TV dinners. My mother was never taught to cook and when we got married I had no idea what I was doing. My kids are 12 and 8 and they have no idea what TV dinners are. My mother in law taught me how to cook. Thankfully I have been blessed to be a stay at home mom for the past 10 years
I was born in the 50’s, my mom allowed us 4 kids to have TV dinners once a week in front of the tv. Good times!
I do this for my hubby who is a long haul truck driver. I make large meals as there is just the two of us and then make him freezer meals to take on the road.

I did this when my husband drove as well. I was fortunate enough to ride with him the last several years. We very seldom ate anything outside of the truck. We are empty nester so it is easy to divide meals up and freeze them. Now that he is retired, I still cook this way.
TV dinners. You should have thrown a veggie or two in the potatoes! As a kid I always remembered there was a pea or two that migrated to the mashed potatoes. 😂 and the gravy somehow made its way to the dessert. Hahaha!
@lisalovescatscrafts916

Nope sorry. I love my mashed potatoes ONLY with milk, LOTS of butter, and salt/pepper. I have never in my 60 years seen anything else added in mashed potatoes except for maybe real bacon bits & cheese
New watcher and her opening up a fridge just filled with butter made me insanely jealous. lol But seriously, I LOVED TV dinners and these look absolutely delicious and like the real thing! I hope you make more of these.
This is such a great idea! My husband and I are going on our anniversary vacation this coming month, and this would be perfect for me to leave in the freezer for my youngest son and mother! I love how nostalgic these trays are!! Mom and Alex would love it!
Love this idea. Please more TV dinner style freezer meals.

i make 15 meals like this for my mom every week…i freeze meals, but i have started to create meal kits for dinner. for the past 2 summers i have kept lunch kits ready in the refrigerator, i do so much work in my landscape it is nice to come in and pull out a kit, go back out and sit in the shade…i describe as taking care of me. i have quite the system for making my moms, i have to wash bento boxes, shop for the seafood, cook, assemble and deliver. right now i have 15 in the freezer, she usually has 6-7 left on delivery day, which means 9 or 8 to go…so i currently have a 2 week inventory….this is what i strive for. she doesn’t eat them all because i usually send 8 omelettes and 4-5 frittatas…. she has such food restrictions, no dairy, pepper, salt, gluten, no spices…so everything is scratch, flavor layering, it’s odd that i do enjoy it, but i plan professional medical education events for a hospital, so guess this is in my wheelhouse. i make sure to take time to relax.
Love this idea! We actually add cheese into our meatloaf, my kids love it! We’re in the path for hurricane Ian so we are currently not trying to put anything in the freezer but rather pull what we can and can it up. We will definitely be doing some of these once the hurricane has passed 🐒💕

My meatloaf includes the same as presented in the video plus liquid smoke and beef & onion Lipton soup mix in the meat and the sauce has Worcestershire sauce, stone ground mustard (instead of yellow) and instead of brown sugar I use our favorite bbq sauce and ketchup. I make mine into mini loaves since it's just two of us eating. I make the mini loaves and freeze them raw (in sets of two), and defrost the day before and bake fresh (just have to make the sauce). Even if cooking for 2 or for 6, this has worked really well because they don't take long to bake when they are small 6oz loaves (usually get 4 loaves per pound of meat). My other favorite freezer items is to: (1) cook and shred chicken to be frozen flat and then used however I'd like (so not pre-seasoned); (2) pre-made burger patties in sets of two - ready for the grill (I add Lipton soup mix to our burger patties); (3) chicken spaghetti frozen dinners; (4) ready to fry fried-rice mix (with ham, zucchini, onions, bell peppers, and peas, just defrost the day before or in the morning; just cook eggs and fry the mix - very quick meal!); (5) I also like packaging up the big packages of raw chicken and seasoning them but never with a citrus (those come out terrible) - typically pesto or (6) chili adobo come out best and are great for the grill or oven. (7) I also like to pre-cook plain rice to have a side item ready to go I might have to try the (8) mashed potatoes like this video for our meatloaf nights! (9) I love breakfast burritos too! (10) and when a fruit is on sale (or needs to be used up) I make muffins and freeze the extra for a quick work-day breakfast! Doing all these things has not only helped me with the dreaded "what's for dinner" but helped us not eat out.
Those containers are great; I’ve used them before in busy seasons of life. I’ve also utilized my slow cooker quite a bit, this way, my family can eat in shifts as we call it. I’ve also made this meatloaf before - everyone loves it - and I think I’ll make it this week! With any leftovers, I can pack it up for my husband the next day in those fabulous containers, or start a small individual freezer meal inventory for busy days.

Where can I get those containers? What's it called?
Back in the very early 70's, before food storage containers were a thing, I used to buy Patio Mexican dinners and chicken pot pies and save the tins and then make meat loaf,.fried chicken, chili, beef stew etc and put in mashed potatoes or rice and veggies and reheat on low in the oven. My son loved them!

Thanks for the recipes. I bought the bento boxes to put meals in. I'm going to Texas for over a week and I can make meals for him to eat for that time I'm gone. Also for when I get back as I'm driving and will be to tired to cook. Thanks again, now I'm set. 😊
As an older woman used to different ways of preserving I learn from your modern methods .
We absolutely love the South African traditional dish, Boboti. It's great as a freezer meal and is always a hit
Absolutely love it! My dads having major eye surgery in a few weeks and I want to make meals for him that are easy to heat up and have since he’s on his own. I’ll definitely be putting these on the list. You the best Kimmie!
Wonderful meals. Have a wonderful week ahead ❤️❤️
Do you know what, you really bring me comfort. Your videos are so 5% home like.❤ I have been a subscriber from day one and I could watch you all day long. You seriously make my anxiety go away. I truly wish I was a part of your family. I am a 38 yr old mom and wife two children in Louisiana. Sometimes I go back and watch your videos especially the ones at Christmas and Day in the lifes.
I've made that meatloaf recipe so many times I don't even need to look at the recipe anymore. My family and extended family all love it!
I just found this video. Yes, this is what I do too !! Great job !!
Hi Kimmie! These look so yummy. Great idea! I really like the containers. I use these to send leftovers home with my kids.
Thank you for this video and yes I use to try to take both beaters when my did the potatoes....I love adding a block of creme of cheese too in ours 😋
Yum is the word. Thanks for sharing these ideas.
Great meals! My go to freezer meal is turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and corn. Love Thanksgiving dinner year around.
Happy Sunday ❤…. These are my kind of recipes … those trays are so smart 😊
I love this idea! Plus, the meals are staples that we cook often. YUM!
I have made individual dinners like these for many years. Great for lunches, too.
Meatloaf is one of my very favorite meals. I especially love it leftover and fried for sandwiches.♥️
I love your ideas and videos! I do miss seeing day in the life videos and your motivational Mondays! 😊
Oh my they both look so good thanks for sharing
They look yummy. I will be ordering some of these containers so I can do this too. Eating out is too expensive so this is a great way to make sure you have easy things to fix when you just don’t feel like cooking. Thanks for sharing
Looks yummy! Great ideas
Such a good idea. Thank you!
Great idea Thank you
I didn’t realize my hubby didn’t like meatloaf the first time I made it for him (thank u crappy HS cafeteria meatloaf lol). I got him to love meatloaf! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Mine is a pound of meat, bread crumbs, onion soup mix, ketchup, mustard, 1 egg, a couple of dashes of whats it’s face sauce & TLC. One hour (& change), bread pan 350° with sweet baby rays on top to “seal” it.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Good morning Kimmie ,, love meatloaf!,, what a great idea preparing individual portions!,, I’m doing this !.. always enjoy your videos 🤗👍❤️
I did meatloaf meals last week. I like doing the muffin or mini loaf pans. Used fresh green beans from the garden!
Those recipes look so yummy 🤤 can’t wait to try them ..
Yes my family loves my meatloaf recipe. It is so good.
Texture of the mashed potatoes will be better after being frozen if you leave out the milk, add twice the butter an about 4 tablespoons of sour cream an 4 of cream cheese.
Good idea for the garlic cloves. I usually buy like a costco size bag and put it all in the food processor all at once then freeze in mini ice trays i have.
If you add hot milk to your mashed potatoes, they get super fluffy! I also cook mine in the IP, but steam them instead. 15 minutes gets them really to mash.
Great content. Thanks so much.
Hello from Clearwater FL. I've been buzzing around preparing everything imaginable for 2 days and I'm pretty sure my cortisol levels are a little elevated.....exhaling and chilling out with your new video is just what I need right now 😁

Kimmy, I love this idea! I have a tip for you. Heavy cream instead of milk makes creamier mashed potatoes. It gives them an unbelievable flavor as well 😋. Have a blessed day!
I just tried the “Salisbury Steak” and the “Twice baked potatoes”. So delicious, a keeper in my family
I just learned something. I am going to have to do this especially with football season going on and then basketball then track. It will make those days so much easier.
The topping for meatloafs in my family (in Denmark) is bacon slices across the top 🥓 may need a little oven grill-time at the end to crips it up, but it is soo good! 🤤
I LOVE this!! Such a fabulous idea. Thank you. Very nice tutorial :)

I remember that Salisbury steak video, and then I took your favorite and made it ours, and it is delicious! So good, reminds me of the meal in elementary school where our lunch ladies cooked everything! Yes, we were spoiled! I will be trying the PD meat loaf, only not doubling it! Only 2 of us so it will be enough. Our H-E-B (Texas grocer) stocks those freezer containers, so I will grab some of those too. We are eating more meals at home, and frankly, we are enjoying it more. Blessings!
It would be nice to find old fashioned style aluminum sectioned 'tv trays' for use in the air fryer. Food reheats so nicely in them. In addition to Salisbury steak we also love enchiladas, individual portions of lasagne and chicken pot pie.

When I’m freezing pies or crisps, I line my pan with parchment paper and freeze it. Then pop it out of the pan and wrap it up. This keeps my pan from being stuck in the freezer. Maybe you can line a divided dish, fill with your meal and freeze it. Then pop it out and reheat in the air fryer. Seems like it should work.
this was really great
I make my meat loaf using the recipe on the back of Lipton beefy onion soup box. So delicious 😂
You come up with the best ideas. While you were in your food storage room I noticed that the freezer door swing looks awkward. Did you know that you can easily reverse the swing of the door? Keep the videos coming.
I use upside at Casey's gas station near me. I love it! I don't eat out that often, but if I do - I will check upside first. I am so glad you are sharing this with other people so they can save money as well!
I'm so glad i came across this video today! I just bought one of those huge Costco bags of garlic and I roasted a bunch, but I still have so much left and I was wondering if it would be ok to freeze it. Yay!!
I have an old Beaty Crocker cookbook and I use that recipe for meatloaf but I use a whole pound of beef and a whole pound of ground pork. I have tried other recipes but my family hasn’t like them. I’m the only one that likes green peppers.

If you don’t have onions and peppers to put a Meatloaf add salsa
What i freeze most often is left over gyro meat. Also left over bbq pulled pork.
I make mini meatloafs and it works great for freezer meals.
I didn't know these containers were freezer safe! I love these and am tired of just usin freezer ziplock bags.
I need to do this so bad I love these recipes and I make some like these I need to try this I'm sure would make my life a lot easier 😃💕💕
we do this but I vacuum seal the container. put lids aside.
Laura Vitali has an Italian meatloaf that is amazing.
Our best meatloaf is all the usual ingredients plus oatmeal, bbq sauce. We top with bbq sauce too. Sometimes we smoke it, which adds a lot. I’ve won awards for that one.
