Definately 2 of my favourite ingredients.

Sweet potato can really make a meal and you can do so many different things with it.
Sun dried tomatos have so much flavour and is great to mix in with many dishes

Have to agree there Janet!
I love sweet potato in with the mashed spud to give it some colour, or just mashed on its own. Its great in with the roast veges, in casseroles etc. Nice in apricot chicken too and will make it go further (great when you are on a tight budget)! And it is even great in desserts! You can make a pie like pumpkin pie with it, yummy. :P

And sundried tomatoes are just heavenly! I often throw them in my lunch pasta which is usually just cooked spaghetti with chopped garlic, basil, a little butter, sundrieds and cheese tossed through. Mmmm I am getting hungry.

Sweet potatoes are bonza! I like em roasted, mashed and even on the barbie!

Sun dried tomatoes have always been one of those fancy nancy foods to me so I haven't really used em. But theres always a first.

Two of my favourite ingredients would be garlic and stealing good red wine off the mrs for cooking!

I grow most of my own food, and sun dried tomatos are the best!! i love them. i cheat and put them in the dehydrator but they still turn out lovely once they are drenched in flavoured oil. im also growing sweet potato (by accident actually) i just tossed it in the garden and it started growing although im still waiting for a crop.
