Good Ole Homemade Freezer Meals for One | Heat & Eat | TV Dinners

[@The1952trouble]

This is what I needed today. I'm 71 ,live alone. Only freezer at top of fridge. But I can make a few varieties for a couple of weeks and then make more.

[@Paige-220]

Hi 😊 I’m a lady that lives alone after husband passed. I also dislike cooking for myself. Where are you from? I’m in NC.

[@jeanineskitchen2607]

I’m in Florida

[@ritahunter3177]

My freezer is full of these. It's just me since I lost my husband and I hate cooking tiny meals. I make meatloaf, chicken pot pies and lots of veggies. Then I can have meals with veggies every day instead of so many leftovers for days after cooking. I love them.

[@lindagraff4842]

My cat, Emily Anne, is about 10 years old, I have had her since she was a tiny kitten. Every time I open a tub of yogurt, she knows she will get a teaspoon of it, she knows the difference between a cottage cheese or sour cream container. I love my cat. This is a very good video, TV dinners would be fabulous to have in the freezer.

[@shareenj.2602]

God bless. Pour furbabies need some spoiling.

[@vanessalumbra9409]

Where the heck have I been? Under a rock? Just found you and love these freezer tv dinners. Cooking for one isn't easy and most nights I don't feel like cooking, so I go to bed hungry. This is perfect! Thank you. Subscribed and binge watching!

[@user-IdahoGal]

I love how you show that folks on a budget can eat fresh healthy foods! It takes some effort but worth it!!!

[@vickymyprayergarden6846]

Me too !!! She fixes such wonderful looking meals on a budget as well ! I also watch Ozark family for the same reasons , different dishes tho ! Fabulous tips in both these ladies 🌺

[@conniemeyers1090]

In our church after a funeral we usually have a dinner for the family and friends of the deceased. At that dinner we make this potato casserole, hence the name Funeral Potatoes. Funny thing is you give everyone that has volunteered to make them the same recipe, but they always turn out different.

[@thepeppermintmom]

I made your rice recipes for my pantry and boy did my family loved it! My husband couldn’t get over how delicious the rice was. He told me to always have it stocked in our pantry ❤ Thank you for all you delicious recipes that you share with us ❤

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

I am so glad your family liked them.

[@bettypierce8050]

Thank you, Renee, for the homemade TV dinners. I will make for my 97 year old father-in-law and I can also make some for my husband and myself.

[@lori394]

You are so fun to watch and listen to! You get it done and done quickly! Great ideas, too!

[@donnanorman340]

If using foil wrap bothers anyone to bake with, they can always lay Parchment paper on top of the foil.

[@PattyPaints]

You're such a pleasure - or should I say "wonderful"😂 - to watch! Nothing fancy, no specialty ingredients, just basic things we've all got in our fridge/freezer/pantry. You popped up for me the other day and I've been binging every chance I get!

[@patriciahamer419]

I must say those are the nicest tv dinners I’ve ever seen…you do a wonderful job my friend ❤😊✌️

[@vickymyprayergarden6846]

I'm surprised to not everyone that watches don't give a thumbs up !?!?! Whats wrong with those people lol ! Your way well worth it in each video !!! Omg !!! Thumbs up from North Carolina 🎈🎈🎶🎶👍👍

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

I appreciate that! Thank you so much.

[@gloriaromero1427]

I love the way you say beautiful.

[@crmlmichael]

Amazon actually sells the TV dinner trays in the aluminum which you could put right in your oven from the freezer and then just wash them to reuse. You could actually just take a small piece of aluminum foil and line them filling the little pockets and that way when you're done using them you just pull out the top piece of foil and toss it and you're ready for reuse.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

I will check into that.

[@cindyloomis9096]

I love the thought of homemade TV dinners. You can control the ingredients. Especially after a long day. 😊

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Renea and John! Great way to cook one day and eat for day. I make mini meatloafs, lasagna, cheesy spaghetti bake for freezer meals too. I had a lasagna and garlic knots for supper last night because I had company and it was perfect for two people. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day!

[@TammyDuncan-m5f]

I love zesty Itallian dressing it has to be my all time favourite since I was a kid. it is also good on garlic bread, just a drop or two and spread it on. It makes delicious cold cut subs too.

[@KarenJonesFoodFamily]

Thank you Renee for showing us these freezer meals. You inspire me to do more meals to have ready for days that I'm busy and no time to prepare a delicious homemade meal. 😋

[@PatMcGuriman]

Clearly I focus on feeding everyone else. I always make them take the leftovers and though have started to prepare, I share will all and never leave enough for myself. Their is something heartwarming as those I provide leftovers for will use it before I will, so makes my heart happy. Just came across your videos and Thank you.

[@megangow9765]

….first time watching….I’ve got to say I love your style ❤……..your organizational skills , and ease in the kitchen is remarkable …..I love to cook and bake as well…. I’m like you, in that I try to make everything from scratch…also I always have things on hand in the fridge and freezer that I can whip out a meal complete with dessert on a moment’s notice for unexpected guests….. I can’t wait to see more of your videos…to see what you’re cooking up…

[@connieparker8896]

I’m so glad I found your channel, I cook like you., with my clean hands…. ❤️

[@christinegitsham5268]

Afternoon Renee, hello from England UK, love watching you making magic in the kitchen, I love your no messing just good wholesome grub, that mixing bowl is huge, lol. I don't think we have them that big here, lol. Ta very much Renee, keep going for it girl.😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️🇬🇧

[@citygirlhomestead]

thank you for the shout out everything is looking great I love that little gadget I have used mine a few times too

[@DianeC.]

Hi Renea!!! This is a good video for me. Its not any fun cooking for just 1. I dont like to cook in my old age. I would do this just to have some good food in my freezer that I can just warm up. It all looks mighty delicious.. WOW!!! Thanks for this. I need to buy some of them black divided containers. Great Video!!!...🦋

[@lucindasutt7365]

Those homemade chicken dinners look fabulous Renea. You can be proud sharing those with anyone. I write down the onion dry ruce mix. I never made any of them yet. I have to prioritize getting them made. You are such an inspiration.

[@conniesowers5125]

Roasted asparagus is wonderful, sometimes I switch out EVOO and use Avocado oil. And that rice, oh my 😋, that looks wonderful……everything looks wonderful 😊

[@wallashakalla]

No cat, but I do have a tiny wiener dog. He can be in a deep sleep and hear me grab cheese from the fridge. Thanks for the smaller freezer meal ideas!!! They’ll be great for “fend for yourself” dinner nights.

[@luannemccallister9642]

I've just recently found your channel, and I have kinda been binge-watching ever since! I love you! You are so real, and that is so refreshing. Like you, I LOVE to feed my kids, although don't do it quited as much, anymore. My daughter lives in another state, and my son is married, and he and his wife share the cooking, somewhat. That doesn't stop me from "accidentaly" making extra sometimes, though. He is always glad to have it. Anyway, I just love how real you are, and could see you being my friend. And I love love LOVE when I see you scraping every little bit out of the bowl! Haha Drives me crazy when I see others cooking, and they leave so much in there! Anyway, didn't mean to write a book, lol, just wanted you to know how much I'm enjoying your videos.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Awe so glad. Welcome to my channel. I am lucky in that matter because my daughter loves anything and everything I cook up for her family as well as my son and his daughter. Though they both do enjoy cooking, they are quite busy with their jobs.

[@KaquolMeliReno]

Amazing! That’s smart! I’m 70 years old and hate cooking but need to eat healthy!

[@Jomama02]

I use to love theold ham tv dinners. They had a wonderful raisin sauce on the ham. I'm gonna look up raisin sauces because i have some ham to cut up and freeze. Bought a extra ham at Easter specifically for putting up some freezer meals.😊

[@debbiefield6932]

My favorite thing to do too! Cooking and eating! You’re a doll!

[@EggFeathersHomestead]

What I do for my freezer meals is put a layer of parchment and then wrap them with foil. That way it mitigates any concern about aluminum. I also use glass baking dishes from thrift stores for my meals 😊

[@petalrampersad4901]

Mama l just love watching you and so many great ideas, love you and god bless you abundantly, take care you and your husband

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

I have 2 kitties. Angel and Max. Whenever I open anything from A bag of bread to a can of green beans they come a running and meowing. lol.

[@karenbrooks-z7w]

would love to hear more about that sauerkraut! Another great use for that tea infuser! Your energy is contagious :)

[@larryblocher3583]

[@shirleymorgan9254]

All Your TV Dinner’s look delicious. Thank you for sharing.

[@carolynsinyard5215]

I am so very hungry right now. Thank you for sharing your cooking talent with us. Have a super great day.

[@patriciahartless2095]

Hello Renea And Mr. John . We have five cats . That are spoiled . Cat food and snacks . Pains in the you know what . But love them . Renea thanks for sharing . All of the TV dinner reparation . No waste of any food . Just use it for TV dinners . Both of you are sweet loving kind people .🤗

[@simplemealsbytvlog6491]

Beautiful video 😊, love how quickly this was done will watch more videos 🎉🎉🎉

[@annamaria8755]

You've inspired me to do a few tv dinners. They look delicious!

[@lindamoreno2091]

How do you bake your TV dinners in the plastic

[@BethCatt-jq6xi]

You remove the plastic wrap before you bake the casseroles

[@jadacaniford7300]

Cranberry brown sugar chili sauce and lemon juice is yummy on meatballs. Heat till berry melts and pour over

[@cindeem6499]

I just came across your channel ❤ the idea with cranberry sauce on top that chicken looks amazing ..I mean all of it looks so good I'm going to try. It very soon !!! Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see the other videos you have. Yummy

[@MsSnowball62]

Love your spirit and hard work I’m learning ♥️

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

My Meece is a riot. Well behaved. I actually never liked cats, til I adopted.

[@MsEgriffin]

I’ve made a lot of food in my day, but never so much that I would actually need to shovel.😊

[@sheilawixon3858]

Amazing TV dinners

[@jeankohtala666]

I've got your cookbook, but didn't know that rice blend was in there! Can't wait to make some. I'm so glad when you highlight the things in your books.

[@katharvey7324]

OMG! Your kitty!!! Not only do I have 2 kitties that circle me like a shark, but I have a dog too! 😆😆😆. But I wouldn’t have it any other way!

[@GenevieveBlystone]

TV dinners look great

[@dizziechef9502]

You seem so organized in your freezer food meal. I love it. ❤. I have to look up your rice mixes. I’m so glad I refund your channel. I had you in my playlist and hadn’t visited it lately but now I have and I think you’re wonderful. I call my kitchen my playground. I love to cook also.

[@carollee9548]

I an 60 yrs old grew up in a time where my mom cooked every night and not from a box lol and daughters learned how to cook. I used to love cooking absolutely love it. My daughter on the other hand ummm no hates to cook. But I have been disabled for a little over 11 yrs now and for the last year I haven’t been able to cook. I have been living vicariously through ppl like you on you tube. I just ran across your video. Loved it thank you.

[@donnagribbins1763]

In your potato casserole instead of sour cream try using French onion dip in equal amounts. It gives it great flavor.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Great idea!

[@bettywhittington9654]

All your meals look delicious. Have some recipes I use for mine, but I think I’ll add some of yours for variety. You’ve always given us such wonderful new ideas. Thank you.

[@dolorescraig8322]

Some really great ideas you have given me. I love cooking but love eating more!!😊

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

My cats aren’t obsessed with food because they always have it readily available in their bowls. I do toss them a bit while I cook or eat, but it generally goes untouched except for the dog.

[@maureendietz622]

I have 3 cats. They are a joy. 😊

[@lindagailsch]

I'm going to do the rice mix soon! All the meals looked so delicious. What a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@TammyDuncan-m5f]

if that was a hot mess, it was the most organised hot mess I have ever seen. I wish I could come sit at your supper table some time, every thing you make looks and sounds so good.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Anytime you like, just come on over.

[@misst1586]

Wow I wasn't expecting your big daddy bowl!😮

[@melodyshomesteadlife]

I love cookin’ and eatin’ too! Thanks for the ideas! Look delicious!

[@PamelaRoberts-j4n]

FINALLY ! I just found you and am so excited to finally see a real cook! I am definitely here to stay!❤️🌸

[@marshabryant9429]

I love cooking and eating too. I made your fajita mix and it Is wonderful. Making your sausage gravy today. Thanks for all you do.

[@SylviaSpudic]

I really like ypur chanel you givee alot of energy amd love how yoir family is so close.i just had surgery had a cornea transplant done and I try to watch your channel as much as I can since I can't really do much of anything you are an inspiration to me please keep up the good recipes and keep up the good energy levels it helps me with my energy levels😊

[@kathyloomis3107]

You are the sweetest lady!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@Tsiri09]

Just reached the "I've had it" with fast food. I went to sonic last night with my brother. $20 for two burgers, fries and drinks. The burgers were cold, the fries tasted like they'd been sitting all day. That's it. We're making our own tv or fast dinners from now on, including lasagna and WM's stacked burrito. I make a point of buying the microwave/freezer containers from DG. Before freezing, I'll put a layer of cling wrap over the food. Before heating, remove the wrap. I love that huge mixing bowl.

[@gwenzangari6575]

Your cooking is fabulous!!!!!❤

[@susanmurten6178]

"Who am I foolin, I love eatin" 🙌🏻❤🤣

[@susananderson9619]

How many TV freezer trays do you have?

[@watchingyou7945]

It breaks my heart to hear your kitty meowing because she’s hungry and not getting anything to eat. I did enjoy watching your TV dinner assembly and what containers you used. My Mom and I used to wash and reuse the old aluminum foil pans 50 plus years ago around Thanksgiving and Christmas and made TV dinners with the leftovers. We stopped doing that when we found out that the foil pans could develop bacteria in the crevices. Considering the price of prepackaged meals these days , it’s a good idea to make freezer meals at home. Your rice looked particularly luscious, I hope you will make that sometime.

[@Pamela_Gram]

Thanks for these great ideas for freezer meals!

[@TrashorTreasure-ie3sz]

Good Morning ☀️ ❤

[@maryannanderson2213]

If you hear someone knocking on your door, that would be me dropping by for some of your delicious looking food. Everything looked amazing and it looked easy enough that even I could make it. I just found you today but I will be binge watching you. I can't wait to see what else you have done. New (hungry) subscriber from Nashville. BTW, I live alone and having these meals for one person is ideal for me. I am mentally making a list of things I need to get the next time I shop for groceries.

[@Natalie-ym8pj]

Oh wow! Im so happy to have found you!!! I need help with preparing meals for one!!!! Yay!!!!! ❤

[@littlemscrafty]

Thank you Renea for such a great video ❤! I really love this small portion size. Can’t wait to try these.

[@irasbrown9759]

I just found your platform. Like your energy. The food looks great

[@mindysworld7675]

Great idea ❤ gotta try these

[@lisagrafton2529]

The chicken with cranberry sauce would be my choice, especially if you put a few slices of jalapeno peppers in with it! I made a cranberry/jalapeno jam, using whole berry cranberry sauce, 100% cranberry juice, and slices of jalapeno peppers, I bought by mistake, when I was wanting banana peppers. I blended the cranberry sauce and peppers, just 4-5 slices, in my blender, until smooth, and made jam with it and cranberry juice. It's DELIVIOUS on cream cheese with green onion and chive, on crackers!!

[@suehenker3256]

We love, love, love asparagus. I fix it the same way with a dash of dill weed. Yum.

[@beverlyreynolds5686]

What a great idea! Thank you for this❤ where do you get the containers with dividers to put your TV dinners in?

[@lisacanfield8797]

Never heard of cranberry chicken. But I will definitely try it. Looks delicious ❤

[@corvettesbme]

I make my meals for me based on MY needs vs husband's needs. Vacuum seal flat. Works!

[@deborahlopez7147]

These look amazing. Definitely going to give it a try. Also love your cat

[@DebBeeman-ir9eu]

I love the Kraft zesty Italian dressing for my pasta salad, actually it’s the only dressing I use in it! Lol

[@dizziechef9502]

I buy those elastic rotisserie bands to wrap around my opened bags of partially used freezer foods to put back in the freezer. Are those black dividers dinner freezer containers oven proof ?

[@moakley60]

Now that's a big bowl! 😯

[@moakley60]

All of those TV dinners look great! It's nice that you also make some for your daughter and her family. 👍🏻

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

It is my 30-quart bowl and I love it.

[@kelliealley7418]

My cat Sammy is all over me in the kitchen...LOL! He drives me nuts but I love him.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Mine too. They are a riot.

[@KellyJoLarson]

I love your shovel! lol!

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

I got it on amazon for 10 bucks. I love it.

Everything looks delicious 😋

Like #52 Good Morning..thanks for sharing this with us..Happy Tuesday ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ClickinChicken]

Lovely! All's you need is a hard days work, that TV Dinner, and Wheel of Fortune, with Pat and Vanna! And your favorite Sit Com later in evening! I'm hoping to time getting my Chicken feed next time (way out of the way for me) on a Monday with go get the 'community meal' (free), that Michelle speaks of at work. I ask her all the time on Tuesdays and Fridays (from Mondays and Thursdays)... What was the community meal? On Mondays, it's at a Church. Bucket list! I don't feel poor in a relative sense, but In actuality, with the lists, I AM~!!, actually am! HA!

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Our local community center has a lunch meal every Thursday. 3 if you are a senior and 5 if not. I think Meals on wheels puts it on. We just hit a great sale on feed. 40 lbs for 10 dollars.

[@ClickinChicken]

@@LittleVillageHomestead That's great deal. I pay 54 bucks two layer, one hen scratch (X2 50lbs X1 60lbs). I sold 25 eggs yesterday. Have to get rid of them (eggs), the problem is which ones are oldest! ha! 😂

[@kathyjustice1321]

Love this! How long do the dinners last in the freezer without getting freezer burned? I need to make some of these.

[@citygirlhomestead]

Everything looks amazing my friend

[@jeanmorin8340]

I’m from WI …more butter please🥰 I’m going to be making these after I make my rice and pantry mixes.😊

[@cbarke477]

Great video, i am going to do this!!!!!!was wondering what those tv trays were called. Are the tv trays microwave and oven safe?or do i always have to take a plate with me to work for warming, thank you!!

[@suzyvance7328]

You are amazing, my friend!

[@garymullins4815]

Please post a link for the containers please, the black tv dinner trays. ty

[@connieparker8896]

Where did you buy the trays that are oven safe?

[@marietketriet6111]

I also love raw asparagus. Tastes a lot like fresh green beans. Kitty is asking for chicken. Our cats loooove chicken. 😊
