    The good ol' stir fry is always a safe bet - can use either chicken or beef in that. My friend made me a lovely meal last week which I was a bit hesitant til I tried it. She got two chicken breasts, sliced down the side, filled with a tablespoon of low fat Philadelphia, bit of salt and pepper. She wrapped it in a piece of parma ham and wrapped it in tin foil. She cooked it for about 20 mins, served with some quick steamed veg - very tasty!

    Also, for a side dish in general Birdseye do handy frozen individual sachets of rice with sweetcorn and peas which take only two mins to microwave - really handy!!

    A hearty Irish Stew (use good meat) would be appropriate for this time of year - not difficult to make at all.

    Why use good meat in a stew?

    Yeah, the whole point of making a stew (and similar dishes) is that you can use the cheaper cuts because the longer cooking time makes it tender.

    He said use "good" meat, not "expensive" meat :) Even if you're using relatively cheaper cuts, there's no reason to skimp on quality. An Irish stew made with a load of fat and gristle, however cheap, isn't going to do the job.

    I had an inkling that that's what he meant but I just took it as a given that you would use good quality meat in anything that you would make.
