Both of those sound nice thanks, I have chicken breasts or skinless/boneless thighs - don't have any cream cheese unfortunately, but I might try that some other time.

Any idea on cooking time/temp for stuffed peppers? And do I do layers of couscous and mince or bung it all in together?

So I empty the middle of peppers but keep the tops...

brown the mince, add chilli powder, pepper and salt and cook the cous cous at the same time then stir through the mince with maybe some tomatoes and other veg...

Put mix into peppers and bung into oven till cooked (with tops on)...I usually serve with some homemade tomato sauce using the mince liquid as stock because cous cous can be dry...

I do like to cook

Am off out tonight to get my goose (thanks Pooky for the Lidl suggestion!!!) and buy a load of lush grub for the next week

Thanks for that, it sounds like the sort of meal he would enjoy, and I can prepare it in advance to an extent, so I look all organised and capable.

He is very stressed out at the moment, so I need to be the one that isn't stressed! :eek:

And you can buy cous cous in a pack thats easy to do
