What are you making for dinner?

JIL

We had chilli con carne, out of the freezer, nachos with cheese and rice. Took 20 mins to warm it up.

I know one thing for sure if I don’t get something out of the freezer at lunch time it could well be a takeaway, likely a Chinese for tea!

Thanks for the reminder!

We ended up having pizza last night (from the freezer, not takeout) as the OH fancied one.

So, stir fry tonight instead then. I will make this man eat vegetables if it kills me.

Any ideas re what to do with Burrata Deliziosa?

I bought it just wbecause it was in the reduced section, & reckoned - from the all-Italian text on the packaging! - on it being some sort of cream cheese.

(Most of our purchases in the reduced section are also a good opportunity to try 'something new' ! )

We like cheeses so I thought I might try it with pasta.

But, having fiound the manufacturer's webpage, was surprised to find NO recipes (http://www.prodottideliziosa.it/en/fresh-cheese/burrata-and-products-with-cream/). No suggestions either at the supermarket webpsge (Deliziosa Burrata Cheese 125g: https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=44&productId=1204574&storeId=10151). And a search at Google only really leads to a brief description at Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrata#Serving_suggestions

Any ideas? (Before I just bung it in with cooked pasta, & something meaty!) I have a tin of crab meat that I need to use up, so thought I might add that the the burrata & pasta, but don't know if this 'curd cheese' will be too cheesy in flavour rather than creamy.

[P.S. hope I have posted this in the correct forum & thread!]

After having a swift google, my first idea was to stir it into some pasta with some mushrooms and bacon or similar - pop the lid off and have a taste, see how creamy or cheesy it is and make it up as you go along, is my only suggestion!

A strange mixture of frozen portions of butternut squash curry plus cauliflower cheese. Plus a portion of chips from the van in the village.

Ohhh that looks yummy, I would be tempted to have it with some crusty bread, cured meats, olives and tomatoes as a kind of antipasti plate.

Dinner tonight for me was the last of the over rosmaried lamb hot pot from the freezer. Rather glad that's gone, lamb was a bit disappointing tbh.
OH had mushy peas on toast. He's doing a charity sleepout tonight so I've sent him off with a flask of tomato soup. Sadly I couldn't do it too as he needs an emergency contact who isn't taking part...so I've opted to step up and take the warm bed option tonight...it's a tough job but...;)
Seriously though, they are fundraising for the homeless and vunerable, really makes you think, esp on Black Friday.

I had lunch out, so just a sandwich for me. Others had fish and chips from the local. There were enough chips to feed the street and it was supposed to be one large bag. What a waste.
