Chicken stir fry with chicken, sweetcorn, mushrooms, peppers, onion and carrots and M+S chilli dipping sauce

Then chop up potatoes into small chunks, mix some butter with either chopped garlic or parsley. Spread the potato out on a non stick baking tray and put a couple of knobs of the butter on top.
Roast for half an hour

Something really easy that my other half loves is fajitas. It looks like you've made a huge effort when you haven't really!! Cook some strips of chicken with fajita mix, red, yellow and green peppers and some red onion. Serve with a plate of warm tortilla wraps, Uncle Ben's Microwavable Mexican Rice, a big bowl of salad (out of a bag), Old El Paso refried beans (microwave again!), sour cream, guacamole and salsa. Lay it all out on the table in little dishes and build your own fajitas. Have a big jug of something lovely to drink alongside, and you will have a great time, as this type of eating is quite intimate.

good idea!

but i was thinking i'll just be the dessert. coz my man will still want feeding!

i like that idea scooby, is there anything i could use instead of peppers?neither of us like em.

matchstick carrots for crunch, but i would do a simple tagliatele with garlic bread, sauce - fresh stuff from tesco etc.

Sometimes I use mushrooms and ribbons of courgette instead of peppers

I got this great receipe from my mum and it's so simple my 13 year old makes it for us: Don't worry about the seemingly large quantity of mustard and paprika it is not at all too hot when cooked.

piquant pork:

Put 450gms cubed lean pork into a casserole dish add
1 leak sliced
2 sticks celery chopped
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 pt orange juice
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp english mustard

mix well together and cook in a pre heated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until tender serve with rice or potatoes and veg

you can either pop it in the oven a couple of hours before he gets home or use the cokking time to work up an apetite!
