YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    Astrology.Com Daily FoodScopes -- Friday March 23, 2012




    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    So you want to make lasagna, but you're out of noodles. Why not grill up some vegetables (eggplant, squash of any kind and using spinach leaves in layers) are a great substitute and provide way more fiber, vitamins and nutrients, too.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Fried food doesn't have to be terrible for you. Instead of using white flour and deep-frying in oil, try using whole wheat or brown rice bread crumbs and pan frying those vegetables or chicken filets instead.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    It's a good day to eat healthily. Distrust any food that contains ingredients you can't pronounce or understand. Also, anything dyed neon or a color otherwise not found in nature might be good to avoid. Your skin and liver will thank you!

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    Borrow from other lifestyles and cuisines to make a dish that suits your tastes. Raw foodists use 'noodles' made from kelp. Why not make Vietnamese spring rolls with kelp instead of rice noodles and enhance their nutritional value?

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    It's hard to create good, nourishing meals when your cupboards and refrigerator are too filled with goods and cooking implements. It's time to do a clean-out and donate your excess goods to a soup kitchen or thrift store.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    That French or Japanese gizmo is awfully tempting, but hold off before buying that fancy new kitchen gadget. Maybe it's necessary, maybe it's not. But see if you already own something that can work in its place just as well.

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    Beginners always try to make something elaborate. If a novice cook comes to you and wants advice, start them off easy. Making an omelet or knowing how to properly steam/blanch/sautee a vegetable is the foundation for a life filled with good food.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    What you use to clean your kitchen can end up in your food -- all the more reason to use biodegradable dishwashing soap and nontoxic, all-natural cleansers for the oven, floor and refrigerator.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    Bitter greens add snap and verve to a meal, help your body detoxify and focus the mind. Stew broccoli raab in a good chicken stock with garlic and olive oil. Grilled endive alongside a piece of fresh fish is a great light lunch or dinner.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Face it -- you just can't find substitutes for some ingredients. If the dish calls for chicken, shrimp will almost certainly not work. Try to get to the store so you can make that recipe you've had your eye on.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    The small things make a big difference to a dish. Chiffonade some parsley and sprinkle it over a stew or salad before you serve. Wipe down the edges of your soup bowls before you hand them out.

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    Sometimes you want to eat lightly so as to give your body a break from the business of digestion. A fresh-squeezed glass of juice for breakfast, a big lunch based on whole grains and vegetables, and a light dinner help you feel grounded and centered.

      Blackberry Cornmeal Cake

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
