Hi chevy, this isnt a whole menu but a recipe I thought you and your tribe will enjoy.
CHICKEN & BACON PIE
Oil for frying 2 large skinless chicken breast, diced or 500g chicken mince 1 onion - chopped 300g bacon - chopped 3Tbsps flour 1/2cup milk 1/2cup cream 1Tbsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2Tbsp dried thyme Salt and freshly ground pepper A packet of flaky pastry Milk to glaze
Make the filling by heating a little oil in a frying pan. Add chicken, bacon and onion and brown. Add the flour and cook stirring constantly for 1 min. Add the milk, cream and thyme and cook stirring until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. Line the base of the tin with pastry sheet allowing a little to overhang. Spoon the filling in to fill the pastry case. Brush the edges of the base with milk and apply top pastry. Press the top onto the bottom using the fork and then trim excess pastry. Brush pastry surface with milk. Bake in an oven preheated to 200C for 35mins or until pastry is golden brown
This is simple but to die for! ! ! So yummy! ! !

I would love the Kashmiri Chicken recipe - please. TIA
Melt the butter in a deep lidded frying pan (we used a lidded wok) Add the onions, peppercorns, cardamon and cinnamon and fry until the onions go golden Add the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, paprika, salt to your own taste and fry for 2 minutes, stirring Add the chicken and fry until browned Gradually add the yoghurt, stirring constantly Cover and cook on a low heat for 30 minutes

yesterday- teriyaki beef on rice with roast veg and buttered mushrooms on the side - prunes and custard today-quiche with buttered seasoned courgettes and stir fried bacon/rice mix on the side ( used up yesterdays leftovers) - tinned fruit and evaporated milk wednesday - grilled pork slices marinated in oyster sauce with brussels sprouts, carrots and mashed potato - bread and butter pudding thursday - mealoaf with boiled potatoes, mixed veg and cabbage -apple crumble most likely. friday is roast night - lamb, roast veg and gravy - rice pudding saturday - steak, chips and salad - fruit or cake or scones for dessert as saturday is baking day. sunday - chicken curry, rice and salad - probably another bread and butter pudding. . depends if I have bread to use up.
Just realised not many here have listed desserts. . do many people bother with them any more? . . I am feeding 4 teens btw they take a lot of filling up.

meant to mention. . the mad butcher has lamb leg roasts for $8. 99 a kilo this week if anyone is keen.

We don`t do desserts during the week, perhaps on a weekend if we are having company. But if I feel the kids have had a small tea, I will let them have a bowl of ice cream / sorbet with some fruit. I think we don`t have dessert also is that most nights of the week as we eat after 7, as the kids(14 & 12) have activities, so feel it is too late.

Why don't you try the best butter chicken recipe ever. You buy the spices already in a packet - they are the best, all natural and made fresh, not like that supermarket rubbish. It's so easy to make as well, you'll love it. Get the spices here www.butterchicken.co.nz
