Aries (March 21 - April 19) Don't shop in a hurry today, or you may end up taking home a bunch of brown bananas or a loaf of bread that's going to expire the next day. On the other hand, you can then make banana bread once the fruit turns overripe and bread pudding with the stale loaf.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Make a big batch of polenta and you have a side dish for tonight, not to mention the basis for polenta-based pizzas or the topping for a delicious veggie casserole or a new spin on shepherd's pie.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You get an idea for a new recipe, and it's a good one. You may want to work it out on paper a few times before you commit any ingredients or cooking time to it -- getting some kinks out beforehand will really make things easier.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Eating on the run is a part of modern life, but eating with people helps you feel more centered and connected. Make a point of trying to eat with friends and family at least twice a week.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) There's absolutely no reason to be afraid of fat. So many oils, from olive to peanut to sesame, are great for you and add an extra zing to your vinaigrettes, marinades or roasting techniques. So pick up a bottle and start experimenting today.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Make an effort to eat mindfully. Chances are if you're snacking while you're watching TV, you'll end up eating far more potato chips and crackers than you originally intended. Pouring a serving into a bowl rather than eating out of the bag helps, too.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Why fight over the last pig-in-a-blanket with a fellow party guest? Let 'em have it, especially if you've already eaten two or three on your own. Chances are the entree and dessert are worth saving room for.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Seconds don't have to be sloppy if they're packaged properly. Make sure you put those leftovers in sturdy containers and place them where they're visible -- that way you won't forget to eat them!
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) It's shocking to realize how many people don't know how to cook (especially those who love cooking shows). Offer to give someone a few basic how-to lessons in the kitchen if they seem interested.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) It can happen even to the most orderly among us: one day you open the junk drawer in the kitchen and it's so crammed with notepads, matchbooks, and old sticks of crazy glue that there's no room for actual kitchen implements. Clean it out today!
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) It's time to add a new skill to your repertoire of culinary achievements. Are you ready to grill? What about vegan baking? Try learning one dish and mastering it before you move on to bigger projects.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Go back to basics today. Appreciate the nutty, toasted flavors of brown rice and a good cut of fish grilled with lemon, sesame oil and asparagus. For dessert, bite into a perfectly ripe pear or a honeycrisp apple.
