Choose the wine first!

OK! A roasted meal in the oven tonight! In order to make the timing work, start with the dessert and set it aside. Bake it when the meal is done baking.

First, place the potato dish in the oven, next the meat, and finally the asparagus. After they are done roasting, place the dessert in the oven so it will be hot an hour later. Despite what the recipes called for, all were baked in a 400°F oven, 375°F Convection Oven. I have a Convection Oven, so the Potatoes took 50 minutes, the meat 30 minutes, the asparagus 16 minutes and the bread 14 minutes.

Meal Served....YUM!!!
