The free plan
The 3-Dinner Rescue Plan
Three realistic toddler dinners and one grocery list, built around the foods your child already accepts. It is the free plan every Tiny Tummies account starts with, and it takes about a minute to generate.
What a Rescue Plan is
A Rescue Plan is deliberately small. Three dinners — not a week, not every meal — chosen so the hardest nights are already decided before you walk in the door. Each dinner is anchored in something your toddler has eaten before, so the plate is never a complete gamble.
The three dinners are planned together, not one at a time. That is what keeps the grocery list to a single short trip: the chicken on Monday shows up again on Friday, and the block of cheese covers two plates.

- A credit card to get the first plan
A real generated plan
This is the plan a 2½-year-old’s profile produced: accepted foods noodles, rice, cheese, apple; dislikes tomato sauce and anything mixed together; no allergies; 25-minute weeknight ceiling.
Monday
Mini turkey meatballs, buttered noodles, steamed green beans
Wednesday
Cheesy rice bowl with soft-roasted sweet potato and diced turkey
Friday
Pita pizzas with mozzarella, cucumber spears, apple slices
Sauce never appears, because it was listed as a dislike. Nothing is mixed into a casserole. The turkey is bought once and used twice, and the mozzarella covers Friday and any lunch that needs rescuing.
How the three dinners are chosen
Tiny Tummies searches a library of parent-tested toddler dinners first, filtering by your child’s age, texture stage, allergies, and dislikes, and prefers meals whose main ingredients are already on the accepted list. Only when a slot has no good match does it compose a new dinner from those same constraints.
After you cook, marking a dinner as a hit or a miss changes what shows up next time. The full logic — including how new foods get spaced across the week — is written out on the methodology page.
Questions parents ask
What does the 3-Dinner Rescue Plan cost?
The first Rescue Plan is free and does not require a card. After that, generating more plans moves you into a Pro trial and then a paid subscription; the current prices are listed on the pricing page.
Why only three dinners instead of a full week?
Three planned dinners cover the nights that actually go wrong and leave room for leftovers and last-minute changes. A shorter plan also keeps the grocery list to one trip, which is the difference between a plan that gets used and one that does not.
Can it work around allergies?
You list allergens and foods to leave out, and dinners containing them are excluded before you see them. It is still a planning tool, not a safety check — always read the labels on the products you buy and prepare food in a way that is right for your child.
What if my toddler only eats four foods?
That is a normal starting point and the planner is built for it. Plans lean on the accepted list and introduce at most one less-familiar food at a time, repeated across the week rather than swapped out every night.
