I remember once one of my good friends answered to this question: so that we could have another weekend. Hmm, well said my dear friend; but still why??? sigh! Every Sunday evening I get the empty feeling and on top of that today has been a gloomy day with frequent drizzling. Rain always make me home sick and depressed too. Spending some time with my plants and sipping a cup of coffee did make me feel good, to make me feel better I decided to blog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">One of my favorite ways of making sweet potato is to bake till it gets crunchy and then munch it. Last week when I got sweet potatoes I was very tempted to make the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/baked-sweet-potato-fries\/\" target=\"_blank\">baked fries<\/a> out of it. I did fall for the temptation and baked it, but this time I combined it with chicken and made a totally different dish. I also prepared an Asian sauce and sauteed the chicken and sweet potato in it which made the dish taste phenomenal!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Baked Sweet Potato and Chicken in an
