My problem is keeping fresh produce. I do buy dried foods, such as mushrooms, peppers and onions. Certainly not as tasty as fresh, but it can work in a pasta or rice dish, if I don't have anything fresh on hand.

Quit buying dried peppers and onions. Buy fresh, chop them up and freeze them. They won't work in a salad, but they will work in cooked dishes.
As to meatloaf, I usually make 2 smaller ones. Eat one and freeze the other.
My freezer meals were so nice when the temperature was over 100 and all I had to do was pop food in the microwave or crockpot or the little oven.
