After a recent melt down when I was feeling the strain of cooking for my daughter and thinking of meals to cook her that she would eat, I realised that I was doing it the hard way. I was trying to think of what to cook for dinner on the day, with no real planning apart from having staple meats/vegies etc in the fridge. It really makes things a lot more difficult for someone who isn't very good at just throwing fabulous kid-friendly meals together.
So, I have started menu planning my weeks again. I plan a week at a time, make my shopping list and then only have to shop once a week (unless we run out of bananas or yoghurt as tends to be the case!). I have felt a lot less stressed this week. It also helps me look at what my daughter is getting and can show me if I am missing any food groups/nutrients too.
