    Creamy sweet potatoes with mustard and lemon combine so beautifully well with a rosemary-honey roast chicken that you'll wonder why you've never been served such a mouthwatering combination before.

    The fact is, that a whole roast chicken, amazing as it tastes, takes more than 2 hours from start to finish. If you have less than an hour to come up with a holiday/weekend classic, you must come up with a plan. One that involves a couple of switches.

    Swap out the whole chicken and bake a sheetful of mustard-coated chicken breasts instead. This will cut down cooking time dramatically. It also brings the mustard to the chicken, leaving room to flavor your sweet potato mash with another enticing ingredient: coconut or almond milk.

    Then you can go ahead and put those sprigs of fresh rosemary wherever you see fit. Set them atop the baking chicken, or boil the rosemary with the sweet potatoes for a surprising, infused mash.

    While the honey is optional, yet highly recommended, know that maple syrup is an open swap too. They both taste amazing! You'll just have to try it both ways to determine which is best.

    While we know that desserts are best when in limited supply, it is hard for us not to mention that a scrumptious pumpkin pie pudding nicely complements such an autumn-inspired meal.

    A dash of cinnamon and ginger with a fresh grating of nutmeg, all whipped up in a flurry of pumpkin puree and coconut milk... Is dinner ready yet?
