Plum cream:
1 lb dried plums without pits
0.5 lb any dried nut, almonds, peanuts, the one you like best
Add boiling water to the plums, let it overnight, let water enough that covers them, add the nuts, use your manual electric blendor, ans make it a cream. Nuts, are snooth, peanuts add a little Thai accent, almonds, a nice flavor. There is your cream, add milk, or more water if desired. Do not add anything else. Serve it warm, for turkey, chicken, pork, or vegetables. A little different of the applesauce, and the oil of the nuts is wonderful. If something is not used, just froze it. How I love simple but nice recipes.

Breast Chicken Roll:
Clean the breasts (about 2 for each person), without skin, place them inside the same tray you will bake it, add white wine, the juice of one lemon, slices of peeled tomatoes (or canned), 1 clean carrot in thin slices, 1-2 slices of thin bacon (optional), olive oil (or the one you like). leave all for a couple of hours, then place one half breast over the other, the bacon on top, here is the tip, use BBQ sticks (so you can take off easily), go rolling, with the help of the sticks, then with the cheapest cotton thread, form a nice roll, no matter how much you need to do it, keep it overnight (outside the roll goes the other ingredients, next day, you bake it 10 minutes at high temperature, to seal the natural juices, then low the oven to middle, for 15-20 more min. If you are not sure, just cut the roll in the middle, do not panic, because you must cut it in serving slices, with red vegetables on top, and if the roll refuses to stay rounded, just use a stick, it looks wonderful too, serve with the plum cream.

These recipes can be changed as you like, pork, turkey, meat.

What I want is to help newbies to cook, easy because the work is done the day before, and never fail if you don't know when your bake meat is the way you want.
