As someone who's willing to put in quite a bit of time and effort into making dinner I'm still totally down for things like salad kits cuz sometimes you really just don't have the time or energy to make everything from scratch. I am a huge advocate for hybrid cooking with some meals being scratch and some meals being convenient

When I make the stove top meatloaf, I make it in a cupcake pan & make meatloaf cupcakes. Our favorite pieces of the meatloaf are always the crunchy ends-when you make meatloaf cupcakes, every single one gets nice and crispy on the outside & so, so good. I’ve also made them and put a scoop of mashed potatoes on top of each one and covered them each one in gravy. That was really good too. :)

When making the meatloaf, use warm or tap-hot water and pour it over the stuffing mix & let it soak for 5 mins or so. It will rehydrate the onion pieces where they aren’t crunchy!! Once it’s soaked just add everything else and follow the recipe!

You're the only food channel I follow. Thank you for making normal food that real families eat. I live in a different location so my only challenge is some regional differences in the types of products that are available but I love your recipes. I make 2-3 mid-energy meals and 2-3 low-energy meals each week and fill in the remainder of the week with leftovers, frozen meals, takeout and meals out. I used to feel guilty but this is the best I can do, everyone's happy, and my budget isn't totally insane (yet).

Can't wait to watch your videos...I noticed at my Walmart the Cabot (pronounced cab it) brand is on sale for $2.50 it's a great cheese. Esp the Vermont Cheddar. Their products don't have lactose so it's great for ppl w a sensitive belly. The chicken Spaghetti is something I'm going to make aa well. Heck I'm making all these lol..for the one w rice & broccoli for a change maybe French cut green beans? I swear they taste diff lol..or try Lesuer (pronounced Lee zure) Peas. They're a bit more in a silver can ..but literally are the BEST peas ever. They've even turned Non Pea eaters into one. Your pasta salad is exactly how I make mine. Esp when you said diff noodles..Salad Supreme is a staple in our house. I always make a double batch. I use stick pepperoni (peeling the skin) and cut in 4s...and cut up pieces of cheese. Normally a yellow & white just for color but tastes delicious..you could use pepper jack as well. Yum!
