Aries (March 21 - April 19) You appreciate simplicity, especially when it comes to mealtime. Some days, a good slice of whole wheat bread, a chunk of cheese and a fresh, tart fall apple are all you really need to satisfy both your soul's appetite and your physical hunger.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Growth spurts aren't physical, but internal growth spurts can feel painful in the same way. You want -- no, need -- to lighten your carbon footprint and your intuition is telling you that a simple (but not necessarily easy) way to do so is to change your diet.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) It's not just what you eat that affects your health and the environment -- it's how you eat it. Try using less plastic when it comes to storing, eating and serving your food. Stick to glass, metal, wood and clay when possible.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Eating together is an act of giving and receiving. Everyone has busy schedules these days, but it's important to find at least a few meals during the week where you and your loved ones cook, sit and eat together without the interference of the television.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Wanting to eat healthier shouldn't make you stressed out. If you find that you're upset because you can't find organic apples or that you're going to have to eat gluten at a family meal, it's time to take a step back. Appreciate the fact that you have enough to eat!
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You're always looking for ways to save money and create less trash. Today, take whatever you find in the fridge and put it on a bed of cooked or raw greens. Some people call it leftover salad, but by any name, it's nutritious and cost-efficient, too.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Your flexible and easy-going nature saves the day -- again. Yes, your carefully laid plans to eat at hot restaurant X went awry, but the alternative you come up with turns out to be much better than the original design. Good for you!
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Take-out and a DVD are nice, but they can start to pall if that's your normal post-work routine. There's so much that you're interested in. Have a dumpling cook-off. Organize a pub crawl with friends. Branch out and try something off-the-wall.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Be brave and put your talents on display, especially with your loved ones. It's time to let them know you can flambe with the best of them, or that you have an uncanny knack for decorating birthday cakes. They'll be astounded!
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Cooking can be unpredictable, but that's part of the fun -- really! It may not be easy to take that point of view if your roast duck goes kaput, but keep your sense of humor ready. Soon you'll see how these events help you get better and better.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) It's the kind of day when you need your grilled cheese sliced into four squares and your pickle slices cut into star shapes. Making your own lunch to your own specifications ensures that everything gets done right.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) It's important for you to acquire new culinary skills -- otherwise, you get bored and start avoiding the kitchen. So whether it's figuring out how to perfectly stuff a turkey or pipe icing roses onto a cake, dive into learning something new today.
