Thanks Lucy, I went to the supermarket and checked out the McCormick dinner things...I made the sausage one today..it was so easy and yummy and DD loves it too.

Nat, the packet was around $1.50, you still have to add your meat and veges and it seems most of them include a tin of tomatoes, You could probably add as much or as little as you want to.

Thanks again ladies, i'll try out a few of these msCormick things to build my confidance then hopefully by winter i'll be a whizz at it and be cooking up a storm!
