The Magical Kitchen

This dish holds protective and grounding energies. Perfect for a rainy day or when some negative visitors are stopping by.

1 – 2 lbs. fresh ground beef/turkey and/or pork
1 can spicy chili beans
1 can light red kidney beans – drain liquid
1 can dark red kidney beans or black beans – drain liquid
1 large peeled and cubed potato
1 can diced tomatoes (or 3-4 fresh)
1 large can tomato paste
1 large peeled and diced spanish onion
2-3 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Cayenne/Chili pepper to suit about 1-3 tsp.

water
see also garnishes below

Once all ingredients are opened, washed ready for preparation: trace star/pentagram over food and inside pan. Light a candle nearby. Visualize your intention for a friendly, uplifting meal/meeting with your visitors.
Start to saute the garlic and onions in the oil, once transculecent add meats until browned. If desired, rinse meat in strainer to remove excess grease and return to pan. Add all 3 cans of beans, then fill 2 of the empty cans with water; pour into pan. Also, add in the tomatoes, sauce and spices. Visualize again your intention. Stir well and cover; simmer for about 30 minutes on low.
For thicker soup you can add a thickener like cornstarch and water 3-1 ratio. Heat soup to boiling then add the thickener; stiring quickly. Soup should thicken up within a minute or two. Visualize again before bringing food to your guests/table.

Serve with any of these garnishments for a hearty meal:
shredded cheddar cheese, frito corn chips, crackers,
sour cream, sliced jalepenos, chives, croutons, bread

My version of the chili frito pie: in bowl place a handful frito corn chips, cheddar cheese and chili. Top with hot sauce and sour cream.

*For more spice add some red pepper flakes or Tabasco sauce.

This would be a grounding with love meal. Use of green and orange vegetables bring in loving, passionate family energies.

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into small chunks
about 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 large fresh sliced carrot
1 1/2 Cups fresh (or frozen) broccoli florets or green peas
1/2 Cup sliced mushrooms or onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp basil
2/3 Cup chicken broth
1/2 Cup grated parmesan cheese
1 pkg Angel hair pasta cooked
These measurements serve 4, can be doubled easily.

Trace the star/pentagram before beginning in your pan and over the food. Light a candle in the kitchen and visualize your intention for your family to enjoy a loving, peaceful, quality dinner together.
Start water for pasta first. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in large skillet over medium; add chicken. Stirring until browned about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and drain to remove excess oil. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to pan if needed. Saute the garlic. Add carrots, broccoli, mushrooms;cook about 7 minutes.
Pasta should be done by this time; drain and add a few drops of oil to keep it from sticking together. Mix in broth, basil and 1/2 of the parmesan cheese to the veggies adding in the chicken also. Simmer on low for 3-4 minutes; veggies should be tender with cheese melted.
Pour pasta into large serving dish mixing in the veggie/chicken mix. Top with remaining parmesan cheese. Again, visualize that intention from before.
Warm bread is a good compliment to this dish.
