Homemade TV Dinners Healthy & Delicious

[@oldbroad7672]

That's a good idea for camping, too!

[@Jomama02]

I'm sure this is a blessing to him especially with so many places being shut down with Covid! And of course a lot of love from home and savings not spending the money for every meal on the road.

[@71filter]

I absolutely love that apron!!!! I was wondering if you still had that.. these dinners look absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing Renee!!

[@mizowladventures4914]

I work 3 12hr shifts midnights a week as a RN, throughout the week when I’m home I take leftovers and put them in these same trays for my husband to eat while I’m gone because there’s no cooking during those days I’m working lol! Never thought about using the frozen corn tho! Game changer! ❤️

[@RhondaRichter-1234]

I love the stuffing idea for meatloaf!!!

[@alfredacarmichael3813]

Thank you for this video! I can tell your husband will love those dinners.

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

That is the best TV dinner I’ve ever seen! Thank you for sharing!

[@carolinehatley3783]

love your channel. Great ideas. I am 73 and find it hard to cook when I am tired. Especially for dinners. So we don’t eat healthy. This is what I need. Thank you.

[@debbiecrouch709]

Nice video helps folks see how easily you can do these special things for our loved ones!

[@mawpatti]

Oh could you PLEASE make more TV dinners...that is such a great idea to have!! LOVED IT!! Will be doing this...this week for sure! thanks for sharing!

[@OurHereafter]

Those drivers keep our great country running and are the backbone of the economy. thank you for taking such care and giving your husband the energy to get the job done and get home safely

[@debbiecrouch709]

I love going back and watching your videos. You’ve shared such great foods, tips, wisdom with us. Your so appreciated!

[@dianehall5345]

Hello from our farm in New Hampshire! Its a ☔ rainy July 2, 2023. I am new to your channel. Searching for homemade TV dinners for two families at church who are in medical recovery mode. I think I will make two meat loves. Some for us to enjoy on a " no cook" day as well. Thanks for taking us along. I look forward to following your channel.~ Diane

[@mommabscrochetkitchen2439]

😲 using stuffing mix! I never thought of that! So glad I am watching this. Almost skipped it because I make my own tv dinners all the time 😉. Thanks 😊

[@BrendaJBarNett]

We did this years ago when hubby and I worked shift work. Helped keep us from eating sandwiches or junk. My daughter this a lot when she drove over the road.💕

[@sheilab1772]

Very nice meal for out on the road ! He sure will be eating good! Thanks Renea!

[@sheliajones8238]

I have not got a husband driving a tractor and trailer I do got a husband that does a lot of farm work when he comes in he is hungry that would be a good idea take it out poke it in the microwave. Thank you so much these ideals in recipes God bless you be safe hope you have a wonderful and a very blessed rest of the week

[@HobbsHomestead]

I do freezer meals for my trucker! I actually use food saver bags and send him with the meat, veg an side in separate bags so he can pick what he feels like for dinner! He loves to heat his food in his Hot Logic Mini! Does your husband have one of those?

[@kristybear100]

New subscriber here. Truckers keep our country going! Please tell him thank you for me. Blessings.

[@cindybonem494]

Great idea, this is perfect for at home too cook once and save the leftovers in the freezer. I want to encourage everyone to get a whole house or permanent generator that is hooked up to a gas line or better yet a propane tank that way if the grid goes down within 3-5 seconds the generator turns on and your freezer is safe and everything in your house still works too, look up electricians that sell generators because they will know how to hook it up properly. My husband looked up prices and they were $3000-$5000 well worth the price we want to be prepared, just look at Texas.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

I use a mixture of beef and pork and mix in a pkg of Uncle Bens cooked wild rice and the seasonings and this also makes a very good meatloaf. No BBQ sauce nor ketchup, but the usual eggs, milk and bread.

[@notmebutyou8350]

This is the second time I've watched this video because I like it that much. I can tell you love doing this for your husband!! ❤ I am looking more towards freezer meals and TV dinners for weight loss and portion control. I am sick and tired of eating fast-food crap and spending money on take out. NO MORE!! It's time to start cooking for myself, eating healthy, and purchasing a freezer. Thank you for sharing this. New subscriber here! I have to ask, what foods would you say freeze the best for when I'm making my individual tv dinners? I have made vegetable soup and chili, which seems to freeze well.

[@ScottALanter]

Making meals ahead of time is an excellent idea. I'm sure your husband really appreciates it, too. I tried using the boxed stuffing one time a few years ago because I like boxed stuffing. But, I didn't care for the taste of it in my meatloaf. So, I went back to using my usual saltine crackers.

[@wandaweber6613]

I hope hubby realizes what a fortunate man he is! Yum. Making some for myself today!

[@cb421970]

Not to mention that it saves so much money!!

[@Viewer899]

Great idea 👍 I’m going to do this for my lunches at work and freeze them so I can put them in the microwave

[@debbiealtman4572]

Great to have homemade TV dinners in freezer in case you don’t want to cook.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

I grind up stuffing mix or home dried seasoned bread crumbs for meatloaf & meatballs, yummy 😋.

[@julescannon3667]

Yum! I'm definitely making this one too. LOVE the apron. omg I laughed so hard!

[@MichellesCraftsandMore]

My husband is also a long haul truck driver. When I cook I tend to package up leftovers to make a couple meals for him and stick them in the freezer. He still loves to buy those stupid TV dinners from the store though. I can have a bunch of nice meals ready for him but he'd rather have the store bought garbage most of the time. UGH!!! Drives me crazy because I am always telling him to take some of the freezer meals. I will continue to make him meals though. I am down to 2 meals left in the freezer so it is time to cook some more larger meals for me and freeze some for him!

[@heart12361]

Please do more videos on more tv dinner ideas. These look great and super easy. Thanks

[@bettypierce8050]

Beautiful homemade "tv" meals with love.

[@harveyrodriguez5823]

Thank you! Can't wait to make these

[@millaclou]

Love your tv dinners!!

[@ashlielepek]

I love that apron!!!!

[@kimberlyyoung6517]

I've made meatloaf with stuffing. It's really good

[@lorijones3294]

I'm going to try using the stuffing mix in the next meatloaf meal for my trucker. Thanks for sharing.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

I bought containers on clearance 6 months ago, but still haven't filled them yet. I've concentrated on work meals in a jar (which are awesome)..

[@MrsLovelyPendragon]

Where did you buy the containers?

[@DianeC.]

Hi Renea!!! I enjoyed your video today. The meals all looked so...delicious. This would be perfect for me. Im going to try them. Your hubby's a lucky man to get all this great tasting food Nice video. Take ❤ care.

[@terri1nd]

I wish you would have shown how you covered the freezer meals. I'm wanting to make some for the days I really don't feel up to cooking.

[@scottstephenson9597]

Link of smoke sausage in the middle would up the flavor also.

[@Erika-vj5sy]

You are simply adorable Renee!!! Hugs

[@willow2031]

What a great idea!!! I have to try this.

[@Diamondsareforever1973]

I love this!

[@TweetyBirdFan2010]

Looks so good and it's a good idea!

[@davemarks1965]

I’m looking at doing something like this for my parents. They’re getting to that age.

[@marthaponce7709]

Wonderful idea I Love You video!! First time I see you, thank you thank you, thank you Question.. Container from. , The store TV dinner reuse?? And how do you keep them in the freezer to be tied?? Thank you blessings from Los Angeles 🙏😇😁👼🤪

[@debiscooking9770]

Love you and love your videos! Really love that apron!!!!

[@jasonmashburn1280]

I just got my answer from my question on your other video. Where did you get the neat trays from?

[@barbaraunderwood1762]

I already do that. I do it from leftovers.

[@Tinkerbell31326]

That is so wonderful. Where do you get the trays.?

[@joseph6948]

America pan co...have a 2lb meatloaf pan that has an insert, meat sit's above the bottom, easy to remove, meat doesn't cook in fat, it removes the fat from the meat. When I viewed the video farther I could see the meat you were using was very lean! But if you want more flavor try this pan with an 80-20 combo...( lean and a little medium hamburger).

[@sonyaeaglestar4400]

Do you do other kinds of tc dinners if so could you please do more videos on them thanks 😊

[@kathleensigmon1085]

Look delicious! I think I can even see the love💜

[@donnaallen8357]

I just found your channel today. New subscriber. I already wish you were my neighbor😁

[@ednamyers5760]

Super idea..I love your apron Do you remember where you got it from...I enjoy watching you very much.....

[@sararich2026]

Where did you find the pans? And is the corn precooked just frozen?

[@chrissis111]

Love the idea of using the stuffing mix!! Did you ever use Stovetop Stuffing?

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Yes I have

[@BittyBooBrown]

Those looked so good

[@starrp8951]

I love that kettle on the stove! Do you know the maker?

[@sherylbutler6036]

Love your videoes abd your apron is a hoot! Love it. How can I get one

[@sheilascott7301]

I love making ahead freezer meals, It so convenient. I love your apron where did you get it?

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

I bought my apron from Etsy.com

[@reneevanlith3557]

I’m going to make this for my family. Quick question, if the corn is frozen is it already cooked? Or when it’s microwaved does it cook it? Should I add water before microwaving it? I’m confused by the corn. Lol.

[@debraigo2711]

I throw a little pat of butter on top . The frozen corn is blanched, so partly cooked, it will finish in the microwave, and the little bit of butter is plenty of liquid. Just remember , corn will explode, so keep it covered!

[@angelpurcell3156]

Thank you for this viedo but I LOVE your apron!!!

[@pamelarogers6143]

Wonderful idea. How do you airfry the meal. Does he pop it out onto something.

[@ajtoy7723]

How long can it be frozen without freezerburn? Do you put them in zip lock bags too?

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

About 2 months. No, mine go to my daughter and she uses them for work lunches.

[@chrisharrison5126]

Could you please tell me exactly how you reheat these. I was thinking this would be a great way too give a college student a few decent dinners. Thanks

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

I transfer them to a pie plate and reheat them in the oven as I do not use a microwave.

[@judyfinnegan374]

THANK YOU RENEA!! 😚😚

[@lynthompson9100]

Do mashed potatoes freeze well?

[@pamfaerber]

How do you cook you TV dinners. Thaw 1st? Microwave? Oven?

[@debraigo2711]

I use dinner plate, or reheat function , I don't thaw first, do sometimes it needs second round, but doesn't dry out or get rubbery

[@joannemadore9042]

How does he heat them up

[@pamrobinson520]

May I ask where you got the containers?

[@sheilascott7301]

I have gotten some from Sam's, but I have seen them at Walmart also before.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Walmart

[@janycegriffin5083]

Renea, great idea!!

[@citygirlhomestead]

that is awesome

[@rickharks4515]

what is this meatloaf blend you talk about,, recipe please, and thank you in advance

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

I use stove top stuffing in place of the bread crumbs. It is delicious and already seasoned. it is also fantastic as burgers.

[@deborahschliep1070]

Or meatloaf sandwiches

[@kevinmarcus465]

Why do you let it cool before freezing?

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

So that the heat does not partially that the other food in the freezer.

[@kevinmarcus465]

@@LittleVillageHomestead interesting, I haven't had an issue before but makes sense. Thanks and God bless

[@marybethsmith6458]

That is a well fed man you are married to.

[@theresashook7882]

I have missed you

[@TERMIN8TOR99]

That's a lot of calories in those meals, I am making frozen meals for my wife as she is a celiac.
