Menu Plan + Saturday Stuff

I'm thrilled it's Saturday. I have a couple of weeks left until my next work trip, so I'm trying to get as much holiday & "life" stuff prepped as possible before I head out. Not only will I be gone for a week, when I come back, I'm usually a zombie for a few days as well.

Here's what's on the menu for the week:

• Friday - hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls + roasted potatoes (kids choice!) :-)
• Saturday - lubia polo (a Persian beef, rice & green bean dish)
• Sunday - White chicken chili (new recipe) with homemade rolls
• Monday - leftover lubia polo
• Tuesday - calzones (made with Crescent rolls)
• Wednesday - leftover chili 
• Thurdsay - Thanksgiving! 
• Friday - leftovers from Thanksgiving

I shouldn't need to buy much (two cans of beans for the chicken chili), and I need to make sure I have green beans in the pantry as well. Fresh would be better, but I'm trying to do a pantry clean out. :-) 

Other than that, here's what's on the agenda for today:

• Go to the grocery store
• And produce stand + Trader Joes for bananas
• Soccer game for Sam
• Soccer game - in the city :-(( - for Nick
• Clean the kitchen
• Clean the bathrooms
• Laundry
• Register the kids for winter soccer
• Make lubia polo
• Take Sam to his ortho appt
• Go for a run

That's a nice full, but not crazy day. What about you? What are you up to this weekend?
