I cook the meat and the peppers etc during the day, fridge them and then zap them in the microwave when needed. Also find that a slow cooker is great for these situations, u can make chilli con carnes, curries, beef braised in guinness, chicken in wine etc, doing all the prep and hard work early in the day, slam it all in the slow cooker and it will be ready in the evening when you are.
anything that is marinated and then grilled or barbecued is good and easy. Add a salad and some tesco finest fresh oven chips (expensive but worth it) crusty bread and dipping oil if you are feeling fancy or jacket spud if you are feeling healthy. Sweetcorn is excellent at the moment. either boil in water and serve or roll up in buttered foil and grill or barby for about 10 minutes, turning often. Pasta with a bought sauce, waitroses are good, or that bloke with the funny accent whose mname escapes me from america or seeds of change if you like organic, again just add bread and a salad oooooh hungry!!
