Aries (March 21 - April 19) Find yourself depending heavily on one herb above others? It might be time to invest in a mini-basil plant, a windowsill box for rosemary or a sage bush for your garden. There's nothing like being able to eat fresh herbs straight from the ground.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Everybody savors food in their own way. Maybe a fellow foodie believes in nose-to-tail eating as the ultimate way to respect the animal and satisfy their appetites. That stance may not agree with yours, but try and stay open-minded.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You're of a couple of minds today. For one meal, you want to experience the most wonderful haute cuisine your town has to offer. For another, you want the most basic fast food experience that can be had. Hey, you have a varied palate! Celebrate it.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You love homey foods, but you might be tired of making an old standby, like lasagna. Turn to another part of the Mediterranean for a versatile casserole dish and make Greek vegetarian moussaka instead.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Watch the line between indulgence and over-indulgence today. One sticky bun is an indulgence. Four is definitely a few too many. Pause and take a moment if you feel like you're eating for reasons other than genuine appetite.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Some classic snacks from childhood really stand the test of time. Celery sticks with peanut butter is delicious and good for you. Putting a grown-up twist on it by using almond butter makes it even healthier.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Some kitchen equipment is too specific to be practical unless you're really attached to a particular food (apple corer and peeler, anyone?). But an all-purpose tool like a mandoline works for creating salads, vegetable gratins, hors d'oeuvres, you name it.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) One easy way to keep healthy foods stocked in your house? Make sure only to shop the outer aisles at the grocery store (processed foods are generally kept in the center ones). Better yet, shop at your local farmer's market whenever possible.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Most people make dinner their biggest meal of the today. But try eating the bulk of your calories for lunchtime, right when you need it the most. Eat very lightly at dinner, and see how you feel when you get up in the morning.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Cooking oils aren't limited just to olive, peanut and corn. Sesame, avocado and coconut are very good for you and all impart different flavors to your food. As an added bonus, sesame, avocado and coconut oil are great hair and skin moisturizers, too.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Most recipes evolved out of necessity. Adopt that attitude when you look at your own food supplies today. You have to feed yourself, so what meal can you concoct from the ingredients you have before you?
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Some days just require that you make a bundt cake that has three candy bars in the middle. Just make sure you share this confectionary wonder -- it'll taste better and it'll be better for your health, too!
