My mother wasn't much of a cook, but at least she never inflicted jello salads on us in the 1950s and 1960s (they were popular back then, not just a 1970s thing). We did usually get jello as dessert, if we had dessert. I couldn't even look at jello as a result as an adult on my own...

Regarding meatloaf, that's pretty good as long as you make it yourself. Avoid processed canned meatloaf. It's easy to make. You have total control over what goes into the mix and it can be a good healthy source of protein. Make it, slice it, and store it..either in the freezer, or the fridge if you plan to use it quickly. It makes great sandwiches. But again, make it yourself and use good ingredients.
