Place in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, (cooking time depends upon the thickness of the filet). Steam 1 cup of organic broccoli, carrots, and spinach. Bake 1 small sweet potato. Place it all on a bed of your favorite deep green and purple, organic lettuces.

Serve with a cup of warm herbal tea and a glass of cool water with lemon. *****
