November monthly meal plan

I am trying something new. I am going to start planning out my meals for the month in an attempt to save money and stop my daily meal panic. Lately, it seems like we spend a lot of money on food, and yet, don't have anything to make meals with. I don't make a list for the grocery store, therefore, a common conversation in our house is: "What's for dinner?" "I don't know" and then opens the cabinets and fridge, "We don't have any food." "But we just spent $100 at the grocery store." And then we eat cereal, or sandwiches.

I want to stop the madness! So... here it goes... an attempt to be more organized.
