Aries (March 21 - April 19) Don't engage in macho food behavior. Really, what does it prove if you cook with Scotch bonnet peppers or eat a sliver of poisonous blowfish? Your health should be served, not weakened, by what you eat.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Be adventurous today. You might find a great diner in another part of town, or discover an ethnic market that has amazing deals on produce, herbs and spices. Or it might be prosaic as discovering that a touch of sea salt makes chocolate milk extra delicious.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Presentation is half the battle with food. If the kids in your life don't appreciate vegetables, take a moment and cut them in fancy shapes or arrange them artfully on an appealing plate.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Did you thoroughly butter your cake pans? It's the kind of day where you'll get better results by writing down directions and following them to a T -- you don't want half of your layer cake burning and sticking in the oven.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Tired of the usual dinner-and-a-movie routine you and your sweetheart have going on lately? Then go do a round of some local food trucks or head out to a local BBQ joint -- and then go dancing at a honky-tonk.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Get creative with leftovers. Fig jam, cream cheese and a few slices of crispy bacon can make an unorthodox but highly delicious sandwich if you've got some good semolina bread lying around.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Not everyone loves the hunt for the perfect pattypan squash the way you do. Get together with friends who live for farmer's market days and exchange recipes or host dinner parties at each other's houses.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) For some people, a vegan diet leaves them feeling rundown. For many others, it actually gives them more energy. Listen to your body's own cues and pay attention how you feel after you eat certain foods. You'll get a sense of which way to go (or not).
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Who says a salad has to consist of lettuce, a few other vegetables for color, and dressing? Try slicing up a green apple, fennel and celery for a salad that is delicious, refreshing and good for you.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Someone wants to get tacos for lunch, but you're bound and determined to stick to your healthy salad instead. Can you compromise and bring your lunch so at least the two of you can enjoy each other's company, if not the same food?
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Flavored salts are all the rage, and they really do add an extra dimension to various dishes. You can make your own. Toasted, ground fennel seeds add a round, licorice-y note. Cumin, paprika, rosemary and lavender are good additions, too.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Springtime is a marvel of fresh and delicate vegetables, like English peas. Served with mint, salt, pepper and olive oil, you have a dish that's great for you and makes the most of seasonal produce.
