what's for dinner this week?

in lieu of driving myself bonkers, for this friday i'm going to make the dishes that i keep getting requests for. it seems as though the chicken/leek/bacon/broccoli pies were one of the most popular things i've ever made. also the roasted red pepper/tomato/sweet potato soup resulted in a couple of disappointed faces this weekend when i ran out. so i'm going to whip a bunch of 'repeats' fresh for friday - and skip a brand new item, to preserve my sanity (and it probably wouldn't fit in the fridge anyway).

chicken, leek, bacon and broccoli pie - braised chicken with melted leeks, smoked bacon and crisp broccoli, with reduced chicken stock, and a puff pastry lid (fresh for friday)  large $15 small $5

oh dear i was just rifling through the freezer and i'm getting low on butternut squash, chowder, beet, turnip, chili and baked beans (i just made them!) so if you are dead set on any flavour let me know:
leave a blog comment, message on facebook or twitter - i'm also setting up a business e-mail so i'll put that address up soon...

baked
the cheddar and green onion biscuits have been quite popular so i'll make them for both days this week.
snickers brownies
lemon meringue tarts
oatmeal, white chocolate and cranberry cookies
red velvet cupcakes with raspberry cream cheese frosting
vanilla cupcakes with wild blueberry cream cheese frosting
chocolate, coconut macaroons
candy of some sort - probably sponge toffee
and maybe a surprise or two...

all four of the bbq/marinade/stirfry/dipping sauces will be in effect this week - maple bourbon, sesame ginger, chipotle lime, honey mustard
i'd also like to whip up a batch of tomato sauce for pizza & pasta, but that may not happen until next week...
