<human>:  I need help meal-planning for my family of five. What can I do?
<bot>: One way to make meal-planning easier is to plan a weekly menu and make a shopping list based on your menu. This will help you make sure you have all the ingredients you need to make meals for your family. You should also try to create meals that can be used for different recipes. For example, if you plan to have tacos one night, you can use the leftover ingredients to make burritos or nachos the next night. Additionally, you can plan to have a few theme nights for meals in the week such as Mexican night, Italian night, and so on.
