    Astrology.Com Daily FoodScopes -- Wednesday March 28, 2012




    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    Create or enjoy a dish that uses ingredients you normally wouldn't put together. Chocolate and cinnamon in a savory sauce? When it's in a Mexican mole (pronounced mole-ay), and used on chicken or pork, it's absolutely terrific.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Break free from food rules. Who says that half a roasted acorn squash with olive oil and sea salt isn't a full dinner? It's actually quite tasty, and served with butter and maple syrup, it can also serve as a great dessert.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    How can you make home food taste like restaurant food? Chances are, you shouldn't. Most restaurants use more butter, salt and oil than you can imagine to get food to taste that way. Focus on simple, fresh dishes that use great ingredients for your home cooking.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    Explore little-known aspects of favorite foods. Soon, it'll be melon season. But go beyond watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew. Read up on varieties like the musk, Crenshaw and Pershing melon.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    Who needs refined sugar when you can eat a perfectly ripe piece of fruit? Talk to the farmers at your local greenmarket and get the scoop on local fruits. There's no sensation like biting into a juicy apple at the height of its growing season.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    A small step makes a big difference. Brining a piece of poultry or rubbing it with herbs well before you roast, broil or grill it will truly make it much more flavorful. Try it once and you'll be convinced of how effective this step is.

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    Today (and, in fact, most days) you need to eat for energy. So avoid simple sugars -- that includes almost all processed foods and refined flour. Focus on eating yogurt, nuts, vegetables, fruits and healthy proteins.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    Hungarian cherry soup, watermelon gazpacho, dried apricots and pine nuts in couscous -- fruits work really well in dishes other than desserts. Look to other cultures and see what spin they put on it.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    Planning on taking a trip? Do your research. You really don't want to miss out on some local specialty that's hard to get in your hometown. If you're traveling with a fellow foodie, all the better.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Who needs super-sweet or overly fussy desserts? Stew some rhubarb, which is in season right now, top with cane sugar cut with butter and flour and bake in a casserole dish at 425. Voila -- rhubarb crumble!

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    Put down all the steps you need to take, especially if you're having people over to eat. Yes, it seems silly to write 'go grocery shopping' or 'take garbage out before company comes over,' but you'll be glad you did when all those tasks are taken care of!

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    Asparagus is in season! Try the green, white and purple varieties. This delicate spring vegetable is great blanched, steamed or lightly sauteed. Add garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and you have a light dinner perfect for warmer weather.

      Childhood Favorites from the Shine Supper Club

      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.
