Answers:
Well, sweet potato goes really well with butter, rosemary, sea salt (not regular table salt) and fresh black pepper (big difference from pre-ground black pepper)!. Season chicken and sweet potatoes with olive oil, fresh rosemary, salt and pepper!. Cut up potatoes into chunks or cubes (before seasoning, sorry) and place at the bottom of a roasting pan!. Place chicken on top and throw in a dollop of butter into the bottom side of the pan!. Roast in an oven according to chicken direction (size)!. On the stove top, steam asparagus until bright green and toss with sliced toasted almonds and a little olive oil and salt and pepper!. It seems simple, but looks and tastes amazing!.
A good simple and cheap dessert would be chunks of pound cake served in a martini glass (my fav way) or a dish, topped with some cling peaches in light syrup (drizzle syrup so it soakes into pound-cake), sweet liqueur (if you want it, maybe something with a berry flavor) and topped with almond-flavored whipped cream (just buy some heavy-cream and using a mixer or strong arm, mix until fluffy peaks form then add sugar and almond extract to flavor)!. Garnish with extra almond slices!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
