This week started very fun! On Sunday Joe and I got up at 4AM to go archery deer hunting. Well, Joe was hunting I just went along. He took me to a place he had found while I was in Oregon. It is a little over an hour from home and absolutely beautiful there. We took a few short hikes and had a terrific time. Unfortunately, Joe didn’t fill his tag. There is still quite a bit of season left so he’ll have more opportunities. We took some snack style foods along with us thinking we’d be home around lunch time. But we ended up staying later and decided to eat at the only restaurant in the town near where we were. It was actually very good and reasonably priced at $15 for both of us. Dinner that night was up to each person (leftovers).
This will be a fairly full week. Joe’s parents are coming for a visit on Saturday so the house needs some attention. I’m still getting caught up from being gone on household things and for my jobs. Monday will be my ‘big’ cooking day. I need to make bread, a couple of soft cheeses, broth and several other things that escape my mind at the moment.
I share our dinner (evening meal) plans only. For breakfast we usually have something from this list. For lunch, Christopher and I have leftovers or something from this list. Joe and Kiki pack a lunch of leftovers, things to make a ‘lunchable‘ or something I make special for them (I’m not planning anything special this week). Lulu eats lunch at school.
This week for our Stretchy Bean we are having black beans at Joe’s request. For meat we have a nice big sirloin tip roast that was in my CSA package for August and the last pack of antelope from 2011. The sirloin tip will be dinner Monday plus go in lunches for a few days. The antelope will be just enough for our stuffed burritos on Wednesday with maybe leftovers for lunches. I’m also making beef broth this week to cook the beans in and use as needed.
Monday– Herb rubbed sirloin tip roast (thanks to my friend Erin of Homestead Host for the suggestion), acorn squash, sauteed greens
Tuesday– Black beans and yellow rice
Wednesday–Stuffed Burritos with black beans, antelope steak and yellow rice
Thursday– Black bean breakfast tostado (tostado with scrambled eggs and black beans)
Friday– Black bean soup (from Nourishing Traditions), whatever else happens to be hanging out to go with it
Saturday– Out to celebrate grandpa’s birthday

Your menu looks great!
Hi Joanna,
Thanks for the invite. I shared.
I love acorn squash. I used to have my son cut it and than I roasted it. Now I can just poke holes in it, roast it and than cut it up.
I’m always interested in some new recipes to add to my Recipe File Box. That’s why I love MPM!
Looks like there’s going to be lots of yummy meals eaten this week.
Hi Rona,
I usually cut up the squash too but tonight I decided just to poke it, roast it and cut later. It sounded so much easier!
