In the U.S. Midwest potatoes are often fixed with chicken, usually mashed potatoes with gravy. The Lemon Bar-B-Que Chicken Breasts will not have the needed fat to make gravy, try something different such as: An Irish recipe for mashed potatoes and kale. A pasta side dish would be good too. How about a green vegetable, potatoes, and pasta? Use the recipe: green beans, red potatoes and bow-tie pasta as the side dish. Then you have potatoes and pasta!

Because this was a large plant and will grow taller, it was placed in separate pot.

Rosemary can be grown in your own garden in the sunlight and warm temperature. The sprigs are of flat needles which are used cooking. Often used in meats such as pork, salmon, lamb and chicken. Soups and sauces are enhanced by its pungent flavor and fragrance; it is an evergreen and available all year. When cooking with rosemary, pull off the leaves from the stem to wash an dry. According to httpss://whfoods.org rosemary stimulates the immune system and improving digestion. It may reduce the severity of asthma attacks. http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=75
