Aries (March 21 - April 19) Pay attention to that appetite! You have a lot of passion and enthusiasm, but you might find you're eating with your eyes instead of your stomach. Eat a half (or less) of what's on your plate, wait ten minutes, then check in -- are you still hungry?
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Know your audience. If you're going to a potluck with people who tend to be unadventurous eaters, shelve your plans to make chile rellenos or Mongolian hotpot. Stick to the tried and true -- spinach-artichoke dip is almost always a crowd-pleaser.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Why reserve holiday favorites for those occasions only? Today you might get a hankering for turkey and stuffing or pumpkin pie. Frankly, they might taste even better at this time of year than any other.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) That whole notion of spoiling your dinner with dessert? Absolutely true. However, on some days, you need to bite into what's sweet first just to remind you of all the rich possibilities that life contains.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Feel like you can't make up your mind today? Then have appetizers for meals instead of committing to an entree. Olive tapenade, cheese, crackers, and hummus are great if you're in a Mediterranean mood. Try kim chee, scallion pancakes, bean sprout salad and seaweed salad if you want to go Asian.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) So what the heck does it mean to chiffonade parsley anyway? Take the time to study up on a culinary term. You might want to even learn the technique and employ it in your everyday cooking once you find about it.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Allow yourself to indulge visually. Read a few blogs on cupcakes. Stop by your town's restaurant row and read all the menus. Then take that inspiration to a grocery store so you can shop for your evening's meal.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Don't look for conspiracies where there aren't any. If your local farmer's market is out of fresh basil, instead of blaming big agribusiness, assume that a lot of people wanted to make pesto today -- then move on.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Help something appreciate in value today. Treat good cookware properly and it can last generations. Cast iron skillets, for example, should never be cleaned with soap -- a good scrub with oil and salt and then a rinse in boiling water will do.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Need to satisfy your sweet tooth? Skip the vending machines and explore halvah. This tasty Middle Eastern treat is made of ground up sesame seeds, so there are actually nutrients and fiber. It is not to be missed -- especially the marble variety.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Want to eat well and lose weight? It's actually simple -- just crunch the numbers. You need a 3,500 calorie deficit per week to lose a pound in the same time period. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains keep you within your goal and keep you healthy, too.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) It's the kind of day where the phrase 'don't spoil your dinner' doesn't even need to be said. You're all about hearty, healthy dishes today with lots of earthy flavors, like mushroom-barley stew or carrot-ginger soup.
