Salt
Pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
3 garlic gloves minced
Olive Oil
REAL butter
1 package sliced cremini mushrooms (came in a sealed package)
1/2 white onion, chopped (could use a shallot too if preferred)
One bunch of asparagus
3 large sweet potatoes and 1 large yam
4 slices Prosciutto (meat section... yes, I didn't have a clue what this was, I thought it was cheese)
1/2 organic chicken broth

Directions:
1.Sprinkle salt and pepper on pork chops.
2.Peel and cut potatoes into 2 inch chunks. Boil accordingly to make mashed potatoes.

6.Add broth and wine to mushroom mix and simmer on low about 5 minutes.
7.Drain potatoes and mash with 1 tbs butter, a bit of heavy whipping cream ( or milk) and salt.
