Meal Planning 1/1 - 1/5

What I started to do now since I have a very busy schedule is meal plan a month in advance. If a type of fruit or vegetable isn't in season or if I can't find the ingredient then I just alter the meal plan. This way I know what dinner will be as well as my sisters. That way they don't always ask whats for dinner. It can get annoying when you hear it more than 5 times a day. But this also helps me make a shopping list for what i need for the week. I usually do most of my shopping on Wednesdays, if not then Thursdays for sure.
