So a couple of weeks ago I shared the oh so good Rosemary Lemon Chicken that I made during my first two weeks on the Simple Start program. I really wanted a simple, yet flavorful side dish to go along with the chicken so I decided to make some roasted asparagus & potatoes with a little garlic & then toss it all in some fresh lemon juice. It was delicious. So simple, yet packed with flavor!

Plus it’s just a pretty plate of food! The purple potatoes with the bright green fresh asparagus mixed in – so pretty! This was the first time I had tried the purple passion potatoes and they were a fun change of pace from the typical fingerling or red potatoes that I buy for roasting.
