“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its’s own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”                   1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT

Ingredients:

Salmon

◦2 six or seven oz pieces salmon (I find Sockeye can be dry and taste more fishy. My favorites are Wild Alaskan or Coho salmon)

Sweet Potato Wedges

◦2 medium sweet potatoes

◦Cumin

◦Olive oil

◦Himalayan sea salt

Broccolini

◦Himalayan sea salt

Avocado Herb Dip

1 Avocado

1 Lemon

Himalayan sea salt

Any fresh or dried herb (I chose fresh basil)

Olive Oil

Sweet Potatoes

2.Cut sweet potatoes into wedges

3.Coat wedges with olive oil, salt, and cumin

4.Bake in the oven for about 35-45 minutes or until golden brown
