    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    Chances are that the cupboards are never really, truly bare. You're bound to have a can of beans, a few grains of polenta or a tea bag or two somewhere. So make sure you're really using up all those foodstuffs before you go adding more.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    So the cupboard only contains a box of crackers and a tin of sardines, while the fridge holds an orange and half an avocado. Hey, that's still dinner. Serve the sardines on the crackers and slice the orange and avocado for an unusual and refreshing salad.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    Sardines are flavorful, incredibly nutritious and often sold for as little as 99 cents a tin. Try buying the kind that are packed in tomato sauce. Heated up with two tablespoons of good olive oil and garlic, they're a great topping for pasta.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    Eating lightly and healthfully is easy when you turn to different cultures. Marinate chilled silken tofu in a ginger-miso sauce. Crumble nori (dried seaweed) on top and serve alongside a dish of crisp, spicy kim chee.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    In the same way an artist creates a particular palette of colors, a cook creates a flavor palette within a particular spectrum. So play with different tastes. Citrus and mint make a surprisingly good combination, as do cinnamon and chile.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    As a child, one of your main culinary questions might have been, 'Rutabaga -- why?' As an adult, it's time to reframe that to 'Rutabaga -- why not?' Your tastes and cooking styles have evolved from your young days. (Hint: they're delicious mashed.)

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    Unusual flavor combinations prove surprisingly harmonious today. Apple, fennel, orange and celery blended together make a surprisingly delicious juice. Add some Key limes and a lemon, and it's sublime. (Those same ingredients work well in a salad, too.)

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    Kale chips are delicious, but why not make some alternatives, like butternut squash chips? Thinly sliced, dredged in good olive oil and garnished with fresh Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, these take some effort but are worth it.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    Lately you've been feeling restless, which isn't unusual for you. But you may not need an entire kitchen remodel or a total revamp of your diet. Instead, think about upcycling a bed sheet into a snazzy tablecloth, or getting new dishes.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Some people might find jam intimidating, but there are alternatives -- you can make freezer jam, which involves no cooking at all, or you can take up making chutney, which glories in idiosyncrasies and is all the better for it.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    A favorite stewpot goes missing, or you discover that the kids have been using grandma's chafing dish to store their favorite rocks. Well, now you know which kitchen items have to go inside the tall cupboards.

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    Taking on a small kitchen project might make your cooking experience a whole lot easier. So re-line those cupboards and clean out the expired food. Unstick that silverware drawer. Organize your recipe box (online and off).

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
