Queen of Pentacles Stew

I hate vegetables. I'm 41 and it's still a fight for me to eat veg. But this past Saturday I participated in a wonderful Spirit party (which I shall post about soon) and after an event that powerful and having readings back to back today I needed to ground myself. So last night I used my crockpot for the first time and made a wonderful stew full of root vegetables and beef, things that we earth signs need. I am calling it "Queen of Pentacles Stew".

I found a wonderful blog that explains the correlation between certain foods and each zodiac sign.

Here are the ingredients I used and some of the nutritive value of each:

- Celery - The particular vitamin C in celery helps reduce cholesterol.

- Mushrooms - contain vitamin E which protest from free radicals, potassium which is good for heart health because it balances sodium, and is great at fighting viruses.

- Onions - Good for hair, skin, and nails, loosens phlegm, and reducing HPB

- Carrots - Great for prevention of cancers

- Yucca- Rich in iron and calcium and good anti-inflammatory

- Beef - Source of protein, zinc, B vitamins, and selenium

The weather today has been nasty, rainy and that bone-chilling cold. Perfect weather for something that fills you up and makes you feel warm and cozy. So the perfect thing for a Queen of Pentacles like myself to prepare. The QofP is all about nurturing and creating an environment where others feel secure and cared for. And a synchronicity would have it, I had the blessing of being able to share this stew in my home with two other particular Capricorns who mean the world to me! To the least, I'm insanely Lucky.
