Obviously, you [b]don’t[/b] need to freeze things into square shapes, but they do stack much more easily in the freezer. This makes it easier to stay organized and not have old stuff creeping around, forgotten in the tundra.[/quote]

Also, DD was really picky - probably ARFID - when she was younger. Food scaffolding helped a lot to broaden her tastes. It was a very slow process and required a lot of work and diligence to figure out gateway foods and ways to build ‘bridges’ to new foods. My DD wouldn’t eat bread, pasta or rice, for example (textures were too ‘squishy’). So, you start with 1 cm balls of sticky rice coated in sesame seeds to add crunch. Then slowly make them bigger, so that rice:crunch ratio increases. Then change toppings, then remove toppings. Then broaden to rice noodles. Then to wheat-based noodles, etc.

At this stage, it sounds like you are overwhelmed and can’t handle more to-do stuff on your proverbial plate. If your kids are old enough and want to change, see if they’d be willing to try the scaffolding thing.
