What would make this week easier?
Pick the problem you want to solve first. You do not need a whole new routine.
I need dinner ideas
Start with a familiar base, then offer sauces and extras separately. Choose from ten flexible meals and adapt the serving.
I need a plan for the week
Use a seven-day dinner menu with shared ingredients and grocery quantities. Swap meals before shopping.
I need less cooking at 6 p.m.
Prepare useful components for three dinners. Keep toast and other texture-sensitive foods for serving time.
Family dinners with flexible plates
You do not need to mix every ingredient together. Start with one shared preparation and decide what to reserve before adding sauces or toppings.
- Start familiar. Include a food your child already knows.
- Reserve before mixing. Set aside plain pasta, rice or another shared component at the right moment.
- Let the plate vary. Serve sauces and toppings separately, with no pressure to taste.
