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.

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@armpitfuzz]

There's nothing like a "healthy" slice of love on a plate, he's a lucky man.

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

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

[@alfredacarmichael3813]

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

[@debbiecrouch709]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@debbiecrouch709]

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

[@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!

[@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 😊

[@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?

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@kristybear100]

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

[@cb421970]

Not to mention that it saves so much money!!

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

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

[@scottstephenson9597]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@millaclou]

Love your tv dinners!!

[@kimberlyyoung6517]

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

[@julescannon3667]

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

[@Liquefaction]

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

[@ashlielepek]

I love that apron!!!!

[@harveyrodriguez5823]

Thank you! Can't wait to make these

[@Diamondsareforever1973]

I love this!

[@kathleensigmon1085]

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

[@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).

[@Erika-vj5sy]

You are simply adorable Renee!!! Hugs

[@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?

[@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!

[@barbaraunderwood1762]

I already do that. I do it from leftovers.

[@TweetyBirdFan2010]

Looks so good and it's a good idea!

[@willow2031]

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

[@davemarks1965]

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

[@debiscooking9770]

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

[@bettypierce8050]

Beautiful homemade "tv" meals with love.

[@heart12361]

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

[@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.

[@lorijones3294]

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

[@wandaweber6613]

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

[@BittyBooBrown]

Those looked so good

[@angelpurcell3156]

[@donnaallen8357]

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

[@sonyaeaglestar4400]

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

[@debbiealtman4572]

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

[@janycegriffin5083]

Renea, great idea!!

[@deborahschliep1070]

Or meatloaf sandwiches

[@chrissis111]

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

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Yes I have

[@sherylbutler6036]

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

[@Tinkerbell31326]

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

[@citygirlhomestead]

that is awesome

[@starrp8951]

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

[@jasonmashburn1280]

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

[@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

[@pamelarogers6143]

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

[@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.

[@sararich2026]

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

[@theresashook7882]

I have missed you

[@lynthompson9100]

Do mashed potatoes freeze well?

[@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!

[@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.

[@TERMIN8TOR99]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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
