The best regular tradition we do in our home is sit down everyday to have our meals as a family after giving the Lord our thanks. No tv, electronics, no distractions-just us. How else are we going to know our kid’s daily experiences?
Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes gravy, corn.
YES! Love that!
I think it’s awesome you and your son and sometimes his friends have dinner together once a week. That is so special. ❤ I love that. Oh man…I have so many go to comfort foods but one is definitely homemade baked mac & cheese. It warms my tummy.
Thank you Gretchen! I can’t tell you how I look forward to Tuesdays!!
Spending time w family and friends is always better than money. Very sweet to have your son over and his friend. That was a memory for sure
Absolutely!
I made a gf dressing full of veggies, pecans and ground turkey. Served with a cranberry sauce. My family LOVES this meal. I am making it for tonight's supper!!🥰
Sounds great!
I recently learned about cut resistant gloves. These are special gloves made from a woven material that chefs and cooks use to avoid skinning their fingers when grating or chopping or whatever in the kitchen. I bought a pair for about $10 and have had no accidents since then. Worth considering.
I think I will buy that for a Christmas gift for my friend. At $10, it's cheaper than bandaids. 🤣
Great idea!
Comfort food....toasted sour dough bread buttered and split pea soup!
Oh my gosh that sounds good!
Oh my goodness! I had that Betty Crocker recipe card set in the early 80s. I loved the recipes from there. I moved away and it got lost in the move. How fun to see it being used again!
YAY! So happy you enjoyed our videos!
Vegetable beef stew with cornbread. Or my husband’s award winning chili.
That's the kind of good, basic cooking that I grew up eating and that I cooked for my own family. Homemade chicken and dumplings would be my favorite comfort food 😋
So good right!
We had our annual friends dinner this past Saturday. Not a big group, only 4. With budget in mind, I decided to prepare a boeuf aux carottes and topped it with whipped potatoes with boursin cheese (a bit of a splurge, but why not since I saved a load of money on the beef which was on sale at 3.99/lb). I decorated the table in a rustic style with logs, cedar leaves, etc.. The whole thing made sense, and my guests ate up EVERYTHING!! saying, we don't have meals like that anymore. So a good lesson for me. Simple always win.
Sounds like a wonderful time Linda!
Nothing like a blue plate diner meal at home! They’re the very best!! Cold weather comfort meal…for us…is homemade chicken pot pie! My secret ingredient for that is canned evaporated milk. Really makes it rich and decadent. So, so good! What a great protein stretcher, too. And blessings back to you two!
What a great idea to use the evaporated milk
You can make evaporated milk using powdered dry milk. Same decadence but much cheaper. I used to live overseas where we had to make it if we wanted it. Just Google the recipe.
Looks wonderful! I want to try this meal. I wonder if the dump cake would be better baked in the oven. There should be room to bake it along with the meatloaf and potatoes. Win, win!
Favorite comfort food anything Italian 😊
Oh yes!
Dinner as it used to be!
So yummy!
You will think I am nuts...but....comfort food is Campbell's Tomatoe soup and crackers or grilled cheese. Love you're videos!!!
Thank you so much! So many people mentioned tomato soup and grilled cheese too!
~🦋~ Paul you and your wife makes my day a joy...Thank you both for the time you spend ...Meatloaf is one of the BEST dinners and potatoes can be made in so many ways..Once again i will ask my friends to view your channel....GOD'S JOY...
.....I LIKE GRILLED CHEESE....
Thanks so much! So very kind of you!
My comfort food is bean and cabbage soup... Is so good and warm. It was the first thing I eat was I arrived home after my daughter was born, and always remind me of cold, raining days...
Oh I love that!
A hearty soup and roasted chicken with potatoes would be a comfort food with me.
Oh that does sound wonderful!
I had that same recipe years ago! It was part of a collection that came by mail, and the cards were stored in a yellow storage case. Wow...the memories!
My favorite comfort food is macaroni & cheese. So very good!
Yes, that's where this is from!
This is a simple menu, but a winner! ☃️
Thanks Beth!
Sounds wonderful! Bet your inlaws would love to see that on their calendar
Yes! I have made meatloaf for them before but never this exact recipe.
Our cold weather comfort food is grilled cheese sandwiches with pickles cooked in them and Progresso low salt tomato and Basil soup.
Sounds perfect!
Meatloaf is a favorite during the winter. We like it with beef gravy. And a potato of any kind.
Yes, gravy would be good with it!
Pot roast, mashed potatoes and green beans. And soups of all kinds.
Have you tried this cobbler?
1 stickelted butter, 1 cup self rising flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, canned or fresh fruit
Melt butter in casserole, pour fruit in top. Mix flour, milk and sugar and pour over fruit. Bake on 350 for 45 mins. This was my Mom's favorite dessert. Cheap and yummy
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
We had meatloaf with fried potatoes and a jar of my canned green beans for dinner one night this past week. It is definitely one of our home cooked comfort foods. I would say when we are cold or need comfort, my creamy chicken noodles is a good one also. We also love a good old pot of goulash. Love your videos Emmy and Paul.
Thank you so much Vicki😊
I love meatloaf! Dump cakes always seem soggy, even from the oven. No likey 😃
Lol Sis!!
I Love homemade comfort foods. I have a hard time answering your question as to a favorite! Meatloaf and potatoes, Beef stew, Homemade mac'n cheese, and homemade soups. I am finishing up a pot of Chicken and rice soup. Got a Family pack of chicken breasts on sale last month. I poached them in broth and diced 'em up after cooling. I put the diced, cooked chicken in individual freezer bags. Also put the homemade broth into freezer bags. So easy to pull out a pound of seasoned, diced, cooked chicken for my soup! Sauteed Onion, carrot and celery added to the broth and rice.
Sounds so delicious!
I was so pleased when I saw the meatloaf sauce! Same one I’ve been using since the ‘70s! The only additional ingredient I use is a pinch of nutmeg…. takes it next level!
Thanks MaryAnn!
I have that meatloaf pan too. I have roasted chicken and turkey thighs in it. For comfort food, you can’t go wrong with enchiladas.
Oh that's a great idea for the pan!
Gulasch with potatoes and Red cabbage👍
You are just the sweetest people! This food all looks delicious and I’m going to try it.
Thanks so very much Anita!
Meatloaf, baked potatoes with butter and sour cream and a veggie! And brownies are my go to dessert!
Paula super Yum! Lol
My Mom had those same recipe cards, I think it was a recipe club, where you got a new set of cards every month. The meatloaf & potatoes look delicious! My favorite comfort food is lasagne.
Oh yes! Karen, lasagna is amazing!
My mom had those recipe cards! They were in an orange box. I'm sure she made that meat loaf! When I was a child I didn't like all the bread in it but now I will definitely try it again! Thanks for the blast from the past! My favorite comfort food is ziti. It makes everything better!
Oh I agree with that one!
Oh yes! Thanks for sharing!
Comfort food. Pinto beans and cornbread. Love it!
Oh I love a good cornbread lol!
I’ve made a “dump cake” with canned peaches, yellow cake mix, and melted butter and baked in the oven. I found the recipe on Pinterest. We loved it! I think the oven made the crust delicious! My favorite comfort food is spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread…I remember it from my childhood!
Can you share the recipe? Thank you
Thank you for sharing that. Probably in the oven it would’ve been better!
We make dump cakes, but use only half or less of the cake mix. (We're gluten free, so we're really frugal with those expensive cake mixes!) It's more of a crumble top and always amazing!
I tried this; and found the amount of butter on top to be extremely excessive; made the dessert sickeningly sweet and we couldn’t finish it. If I were try it again (unlikely) I would reduce the amount of butter by *at least* 75%! It was disappointing to say the least - we love cobbler type desserts and had really looked forward to that one.
Go to comfort meal in the winter…potato soup!
I've made potatoes that way only using halved new small potatoes. Delicious! Meatloaf is my husband's favorite meal, and sandwich!
Sounds great!
Your son knew what he was doing when he gifted you with that meatloaf pan 😊. I bet he was just hoping he would enjoy a meatloaf dinner. I will definitely make that meatloaf.
Yes! Michelle, it’s one of his absolute favorite meals
I love all of your videos! I would love to see you create a weekly meal from older recipes. Fun to watch, and it gives me great meal ideas! Thanks for all the great advice you both share!
Great idea Sarah!
Comfort food here is tator tot hot dish! I used to put the tator tots on the bottom of the pan too. Mix hamburger with cream of chicken soup and top with cheese and then more tator tots. We love it and still make it .
Sounds great Laura!
My favorite comfort food is broccoli cheese soup with a side of crusty bread for dipping! Yum 😋
Oh my gosh that sounds so good
Try the dump cake in the oven. We love it that way.
Great idea!!
I have those same Betty Crocker recipe cards. They were my Grandma's and my Mom let me have them in 1986 when my Grandma passed away. That recipe is my go-to meatloaf recipe. I will be trying the potatoes next time I make meatloaf, they looked delish! A favorite from-scratch comfort meal for me is beef and noodles. When I make roast, I make enough to make some beef and noodles the next day or so. We love ours over mashed potatoes. I have had people tell me they can't believe we would put noodles over potatoes. Maybe it's an Iowa or Midwest thing?! All I know is both my grandmother's did it and my Mom does it and even local restaurants do it! You have to try it if you've never had beef or chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes before. Carb overload, yep, but so good! As always, your videos are such a joy to watch. Thank you for all the tips, encouragement, and great recipes. Blessings to you both! Lindy
I have never heard of noodles over potatoes either! They are 2 o my favorite foods so I bet it's delicious!
Your cake cracked me up because I did the same thing last week. It was a pumpkin crunch cake and I haven’t made one since 2018, where I didn’t see the directions to cover the cake after adding pecans halfway through baking. It came out perfect then. Last week, I covered it with foil and it didn’t cook, was soggy and looked anemic. Everyone loved it and ate it! I made sure to write on the recipe- cut from a cake box- to NOT cover it. And I made it for company, same as you. I also went back and forth over making it because it’s expensive but it was company, so I reasoned it was ok. I love this video!
LOL! Yes, it happens to all of us LOL!
My comfort food is a good homemade soup, almost any kind. Favorite is Italian wedding soup.
Paula, Italian wedding soup is so delicious!
Beautiful couple!!! Love you guys 🙏❤️
Thank you so much Liz😊
My favorite comfort meal is homemade chicken and noodles, yeast rolls, and mashed potatoes! The meatloaf looked really good!
Sounds great Sabrina!
The dump cake I’ve made for years. I’ve never tried it in a crockpot and I have used canned fruit. Frozen fruit doesn’t have liquid with it. Try it again with 2 cans of fruit and a yellow cake mix, I really like spice cake too and bake it in the oven.
Oh that does sound better!
Another great video, Emmy and Paul!
Some of our comfort foods are grilled cheese and tomato soup, any type of pasta, pinto beans with coleslaw and cornbread which is our South Carolina tradition. Many blessings during this holy season.
Many blessings back for this holy season to you! Thank you!
My fav comfort food for cold weather would be a cauliflower soup made w beef stock. Cauliflower soup is usually made w cream and light stock but I find it much more delicious w beef. Cauliflower can stand well with hearty flavours plus it adds a creamy texture, also add in some egg white and tiny meatballs 😁 and a warm strudel for dessert!!
Sounds great!
Chicken and dumplings. Yum!!
Oh yes
Last summer you made a recipe with fresh berries I made as soon as video was over it quick simular but no crock pot I cant remember how u made it the that reminded me of it.that meatloaf look delish your right the simple things in life
Oh yes! That was a berry cobbler I made in the oven. That was delicious!
I prefer to cook our meatloaf on 375 degrees also. Ground meats should always be done with no doubts.
OMG we had that recipe card file when we were kids! I no longer have the avocado green box but I saved several of the recipe cards, mostly desserts!
Yes, so fun!
I had to laugh - I made meatloaf yesterday for the weekend and for the freezer. I serve it with mashed potatoes on top one night and with rice the second night and fry the meatloaf in a frying pan with an egg on top - 2 different meals with the same main course - so easy and sooooo good
Great idea! Thanks for sharing Sam
I agree with you an the meat loaf. It is so flavorful.
Yes! So good!
Everything you make looks delicious.
Oh thank you so very much!
I just like your vibe....🌼a warmth ✨️
Oh thank you! So kind of you to say!
Comforts apex is a PB&J or Mac and cheese w stewed tomatoes. Yummy!
Sounds great!
Your dinner looked so good. I haven't had meatloaf in a while. Time to make it again. I love leftover meatloaf sandwiches. I really like the idea of grating the butter over the dessert. It would melt better all over instead of slices. I'll have to remember that next time I make something like that.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Your meal looked amazing! My favorite comfort food has always been my mom's homemade macaroni and cheese. Putting this recipe in a special cookbook for my g-daughter!
Hope you enjoy it!
My go to food is macaroni and cheese in the oven, I can smell it as in my mind as I tell you.
Yes! So delicious!
Our favourite comfort food, here in the Uk, is shepherds pie- minced beef (ground beef) and onion in gravy with mashed potatoes on top, sometimes with grated cheese melted on top of the mash 👍
I love Cottage Pie. Also a big fan of colcannon. Mmmm. Like the tasty little meat pies too.
Sounds delicious!
I make hamburger mixed in pork n beans with B.B.Q. sauce. with a cheep box of corn bread made in my cast iron skillet.
Oh that sounds good!
The food looked scrumptious! I love meatloaf & being using the exact meatloaf pan like yours for years. My favorite comfort food of all time is a hearty beef stew with homemade pastry baked on top of it. I really enjoy seeing your cooking segments.
Oh that sounds delicious! Thank you
Meatloaf is always a winner at hour house!
Here too Julia!
My favorite comfort meal is chicken and dumplings. Mine uses a fluffy biscuit type dumpling. Very simple to make and yummy
Sounds great!!
My go to comfort food in the dead of winter is venison chili.
Sounds good!
This video motivated me to make individual meatloaves for myself. I could add cheddar cheese & bell peppers, which I love.
My mom used to make a very very basic meatloaf with no "goodies" in it, and I wouldn't eat it.
I think if I were to put in what I like it would be good. Green chilies would also add some zip to it!
Oh yes, great ideas!
Yum! Taco salad is my favorite
So good!
Fried potatoes yes! I want to try these potatoes looks easy and delicious!
They are really yummy!
Meatloaf is a favorite of ours too! We have tried so many different recipes. Can’t wait to try this one! Thanks for sharing!!
Hope you enjoy!
My favorite comfort food is my potato soup.
Sounds great Susan!
A traditional crumble topping like an apple crumble struzzle may be good.
True!
Even though your oven was busy for dinner you could make the cake earlier in the day or even the night before--and then not have to ruin the dessert in the crock pot!!🤣🤣❤️❤️
I didn’t think the crockpot would ruin the desert.
I do love meatloaf. The comfort food that I make often is stuffed bell peppers. I like using various colors of bell peppers. I cut the peppers in half and stuff them. I serve with mashed or bake potatoes and a green vegetable.
Sounds great Cheryl!
Those potatoes look amazing ! I can't wait to try it. Thanks Emmy and Paul.
Thanks for watching Lisa!
Okay, I'm ready for some meatloaf and potatoes now! It looked awesome!
So good Michelle!
I made the potato recipe!! So good!! My husband found a very good buy on bags of very small potatoes when we went salvage shopping at an Amish store and I just cut them in half! We just use the Kraft parmesan cheese, and it was so good. I notice you use good quality shredded parmesan. I will definitely be trying it again with the shredded. I'm sure it will be amazing!!
Yes, we do splurge on parmesan...
Also chili which my family makes like a soup!
Great idea!
This video was awesome! 🎉
So kind! Thanks!
Yum! I’ve made the Parmesan Potatoes from your recipe several times and they’re always a hit. I’m making bean soup today and it smells wonderful. I’m using up a ham hock I had left over. Comfort food for a cold, snowy day.
Wonderful! Enjoy
Your recipes are awesome!
So kind of you to say! Thank you!
All-time comfort food= Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. (These days I have to use a dairy-free cheese but it’s still comforting.). Tater tot casserole is right up there too! Pot pie is also a big one. I better stop before I get hungry! 🙂
LOL! That happens to me too while I read these comments!
Baked chicken, baked potatoes and squash
Don’t feel bad, I tried dump cake. They are awful and a waste of cake mix . I don’t understand how they have become so popular. They stink
Lol! Yes, it really wasn’t great.
Great meatloaf recipe! Can't wait to make this for my husband! And I love the way you don't worry about not having certain ingredients:)
You can always improvise with ingredients!
@@FrugalMoneySaver
That's one of the many things I like about your channel...that you always stress to your viewers that there's no need to run out and buy special ingredients. And you show us what to use instead!
Absolutely love this video. Can’t wait to try the meatloaf - I will use a bit of Italian sausage with the beef. Paul is so cute and like my husband, never complains but when asked will say ‘maybe next time you could try...’. Aren’t we lucky ?!
Yes, beyond blessed!
I love meatloaf. I make a gluten-free version with rice instead of bread.
Oh that's a great idea!
Homemade loaded baked potato soup!!!
YUM!
How funny….this past week I made meatloaf with mashed potatoes….probably my favorite comfort food….I appreciate Paul’s honesty for a dessert not Paul approved…..thanks for sharing….
Carolyn, we wouldn’t want you to make something that really wasn’t tasty lol.
I love meatloaf. I’m going to add that to my meal plan for the week. I usually add a cup of cooked lentils to my meatloaf to stretch it. That ribbon meatloaf looks super interesting! Thanks for the inspiration.
Hope you enjoy 😊
My go to comfort food in the colder months is homemade minestrone and garlic bread. That meatloaf and potatoes looked amazing!!
Sounds great! Thank you so much!
Hi Emmy and Paul. My comfort food is soup and any kind of bread with butter. Enjoy the weekend!
I have to say that is one of my favorite combos too!
Yum, making this in the next week!
Hope you enjoy it Ginger!
Go to comfort food- Meatloaf or Stuffed Cabbage. It is a toss up!
Yes, love both too!
This meal looks wonderful! We love meatloaf. I would like to try the potatoes. I've tried dump cakes as well and I can take or leave them Not my favorite. Comfort food for us is so many meals! To choose one would be scalloped potato casserole. Cooked ground beef and vegetables on the bottom, potatoes and onions on top, mushroom soup over the top. 😊 Thank you for another great video! ❤️
Oh that sounds so yummy!
Hi Emmy and Paul,your son and ofcourse dear little Dixie darling,a very happy Christmas season comfort foods that too cooked for your kids.Loved the meatloaf and potato in cheese.You are very motivating and specially your smiling presentation is awesome.My comfort food for the family is Mac and cheese pasta and custrd,nothing very great but yes everyone loves it.

That looked delicious and I am your kitchen smelled wonderful. My favorite comfort food is baked pork chops, with shake and bake. I am sure I could make my own coating. Nothing like the easy way. Lol. And mashed potatoes and a vegetable.
Sounds great Vona!!
Emmy and Paul . A very good video . The meatloaf looks great and I am planning on it for our Christmas dinner. 😊
I hope you enjoy it!
