meal planning

Meal planning is like making a shopping list but for food. It's when you think about what kind of food you want to eat over the next week or month and then write down all the ingredients you need to buy to make that food. You might look at recipes you have or look on the internet to find ideas for meals you could try. Then, you make a list of all the ingredients you need to buy and when you go to the store, you buy all the things on your list. Once you have all the ingredients, you can start making your meals!
