Most parents would love the ability to have so much time to make great meals for their children three times a day. She doesn't need something fancy for all three meals or even at all, but a pouch is hardly even a snack let alone a breakfast.
A one year old is recommended approximately 1,000 calories a day. I bet Emma doesn't even get half of that in a day. No wonder she's so fussy all of the time, that poor girl is starved.

At that age my kids ate either toast, weetbix or cereal (rice bubbles or corn flakes) for breakfast.
Morning and afternoon teas were homemade muffins (id do a huge batch of 200+ and freeze them to pull out each say) and some fruit or crackers.
Lunch was usually sandwiches, fruit/vege, maybe something like rice crackers, rice cakes, yoghurt/custard. Or leftovers from the previous nights tea. I often had left overs stashed (and frozen) on hand.
Tea was what we ate for tea - my kids would be eating smaller portions of our adult meals - usually with fruit or veges added depending on what was on offer. My then 13 month old used to inhale butter chicken & rice, enchiladas, every kind of vegetable, spag bolognaise, whole chops, soups the works. Adding one kids portion doesnt necessarily mean you need to buy more meat, just cook more carb (potatos, rice, pasta) and vege portions and stretch the meat to make it work.
They are so stupid though. Baking and meal planning is beyond her.
We have three school aged kids and i meal plan. I know whats for tea for the next 6-8 weeks and have a list of “back up/swap out meals”. With those next 6 week meals - i have a list of what I need to add to my groceries prior to that week to be able to complete the meals (most i have either the meat or base ingredients for not often both). I order my groceries online and one of us collects them from the store. I am by no means a perfect parent or overly organised - i do however take pleasure in knowing whats for tea without the daunting task of checking the cupboards or freezer and having to make that decision on the day. Tomorrow night is nachos, i have brought a “two meal” pack of ground beef (800g-1kg) and will cook it all and split it in half and then add a bolognaise sauce to it and fridge/freeze that portion for another meal down the line.
Can we please not start sharing our menu plans again? Literally no one cares what you feed your kids. We went through this a few threads ago already.

My ex had a cat that would just finish taking a shit in the litter box, then walk all over the counter, and he'd just start cooking. Wtf. I knew someone who had a cat and they'd sit at the dining room table, eat their food, and the owner would just start eating the food from the same bowl and not care. I bet Rachelle lets Mister eat whatever measly food Emma has on her highchair then lets Emma eat after the cat. I bet that's the only reason they keep Beau around too... As a vacuum since Rashy is too lazy to do anything.
