Aries (March 21 - April 19) You need a super-charged energy treat to get through the demands of your day. Energy bars, coffee and sugary snacks will just make your energy levels crash later. For a healthy way to charge up, blend dates, almond milk and half a banana into a smoothie.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Looking for a good way to use up leftovers? Cooked meats and vegetables make great additions to salads, as do grains. Odd slices of bread can be turned into bread crumbs (and they freeze just fine for later use).
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) A dash of decadence is what you need today. So even though you normally go for decaf or herbal tea, get a mocha with a dollop of real whipped cream, fresh cinnamon and grated nutmeg. Appreciate the small pleasures with real gusto.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) When it comes to politics, people often don't agree -- but nothing can bring two differing viewpoints together than a delicious dessert. So if you have contentious types coming over to your home, think of offering them something good to eat. Food can unite us all.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Sometimes tastes that we take for granted need to be experienced anew. Bite into some lettuce leaves today without any dressing or garnish. You'll discover that iceberg is sweet, kale robust and Boston lettuce is tangy. Reeducate your palate.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) When you don't have something like a pastry brush or a grater, you really feel the lack. All the more reason to get to know your neighbors today. You never know when you might have a culinary emergency (or meet a new friend).
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Get your loved ones invested in mealtime by giving them duties to perform. You can help small children develop good eating habits by having them help set the table, pour drinks or do non-dangerous sous chef duties.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Watch out today -- you might get an important phone call just as you're about to flip your pancakes. Make sure to turn off the oven and stovetop before you head out the door or try to multitask. You don't want that casserole to bubble over and burn.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Remember the joy of simple foods. Enjoy a seven-bean salad dressed with nothing but salt, pepper, lemon juice and good-quality extra virgin olive oil. That mix of kidney, black, garbanzo, wax, green, pinto and fava beans will give you fuel for the entire day.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) So maybe you haven't had time to go to the grocery store and you're trying to save money, so take-out or going to a restaurant is out. Why not work with what you have? A bowl of oatmeal and some turkey bacon are good for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Does your whippersnapper of a nephew really think he knows how to out-dice you? A little friendly competition in the kitchen might be exactly what you need to get out of a cooking rut. Why not have an amateur Iron Chef night?
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) So maybe a chef's toque would feel a mite pretentious, but when you're in the kitchen, you need a way to keep your hair out of your face (and out the food). Experiment until you find something that works for you. A bandana is always nice.
