It's a good job I've just had lunch or I'd be out raiding the fridge
I have never made chilli mince pies before but planning to use an exisiting chilli mince mix and put a nice pastry on top (mmmmm).
I have never made the mince keema either but am following a recipe from my Readers Digest book and it sounds delish.

Monday 6th: [strike]Chicken with HG leek & bacon in a creamy sauce [/strike]leftover Chilli mince pies & lattice potatoes
Tuesday 7th: HM pizzas (from freezer), [strike]pasta salad [/strike]& potato salad
Wednesday 8th: Creamy mushroom pasta & garlic bread
Thursday 9th: Salmon en croute, cous cous & green beans
Friday 10th: [strike]Chicken[/strike], [strike]broccoli[/strike] orange & red peppers, mushroom & potato fritatta
Saturday 11th: Steak mince keema, rice & naan (+ portion for Sunday 12th)
Forgot to say I have all the bits in the fridge, freezer or cupboards!
The week after I want do beef stew (and pastry or dumplings) so will have to get some lovely stewing beef from the butcher for that- but that will not be until week starting Sun 12th (10th on here) so no spends needed immediately (no room in freezer for it either!). Lunches also planned too but not on the post.
