What are you making for dinner?

C_J how do you freeze your Mozarella please? Do you leave it's in salty water?

I'm forever having half go off because I only do small pizzas for one an

I simply took the mozza out of the pack and drained it and then sliced it.  I used wax paper (it's a Canadian thing) to put it on but now know plastic wrap would work better.  So round on a sheet of wrap.  Laid in  a big bag and laid carefully in the freezer to chill out.  wax paper or even parchment would work but you might need to thaw it a bit when you take it out of the freezer.  

I didn't leave it in the big pack in  a lump as I knew I'd want to use it a bit at a time.  and in slices it thaws quicker.  AND I realised that frozen pizza has frozen mozza on it so I could do something similar.

I freeze the whole unopened pack - when defrosted, it has exactly the same texture as before it had been frozen. I do like the idea of draining it and slicing first though - thanks for the tip @Brie!

Chicken tikka plus a butternut squash pie.

I made a Sunday roast with chicken, pigs in blankets, stuffing, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, baby potatoes, brussel sprouts, broccoli, fresh peas and root mash. Made enough for the inlaws for Monday and Tuesday.  I plate up two dinners and apparently there is so much food, so they share a plate each day. 

Also emptied the fruit bowl of apples and pears and made a crumble.

BlueJ94 cheesecake looks delicious could just have a slice😉 I made mince and dumplings with carrots and swede mash, mashed potatoes and cabbage.

Are those munchies on top of the cheesecake @BlueJ94?  If so I will fight you for a piece 😂

Tonight we're having BBQ pulled pork from the freezer on a jacket potato and some coleslaw.  Which reminds me that I need to get DH to put the potatoes on before I get home from work.

We had some leftover tomato, lentil, and butternut squash soup.
I got a bit of smoked haddock out of the freezer and made a colourful kedgeree with a little rice, lots of green vegetables, some red pepper and scrambled eggs, all done in the microwave.
