Gemini recipes

Gemini is mental sign and he requires oxygenating foods like fresh fruits and vegetables. Gemini benefits through orange-coloured foods like oranges, pink grapefruit, peaches, apricots, etc., which help decongest the lungs and prevent mucus. Coffee and stimulants make matters worse and should be avoided. Herbal teas have a calming effect. Gemini people are inclined to eat on the run and are notorious junk food addicts. To keep up their energy and high spirits, they must have a proper diet. So there are some Gemini recipes here.

VEGGIE SOUP
1 lb. beef cubes (sm.)
1 can tomato paste
1 sm. head cabbage
4-5 med. carrots, peeled & sliced
Fresh or frozen peas, corn, limas, green beans or any veggie you want
1 1/2 c. shell noodles
2-3 stalks celery, chopped
1 med. onion, diced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. oregano
1/8 tsp. parsley flakes

Use any veggies you want

Fry beef cubes and onions in Dutch oven until brown. Add water about 1/2 pan. Add veggies and seasonings. Bring to boil lower heat and simmer 2-3 hours. Add tomato paste and stir well. Let simmer another 1/2 hour and noodles and cook until soft. Serve. Freezes nicely.

BARBECUE BEEF CASSEROLE
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 c. chopped green peppers
1/3 c. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
8 oz. can pork and beans
1 c. barbecue sauce
1 1/2 c. grated Cheddar cheese
1 sm. can Pillsbury biscuits

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large skillet, brown ground beef with green peppers and onion. Remove from heat; drain. Stir in salt and pepper. Stir in beans, barbecue sauce and 1 cup of cheese. Spoon ground beef mixture into around 9-inch casserole dish. Slice each biscuit in half, making 1/2 circles. Arrange biscuits around the outer edges of casserole dish on top of beef mixture, leaving center open. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of remaining cheese onto casserole a few minutes before removing from the oven.

DARK CHOCOLATE FUDGE
3 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1 c. chopped walnuts
Dash salt
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chips with sweetened condensed milk and salt. Remove from heat; stir in nuts and vanilla. Spread evenly into a foil or wax paper lined 8 or 9" square pan. Chill 2 hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board; peel off paper and cut into squares. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

I hope that Gemini would enjoy dishes cooking according these recipes.
