Aries (March 21 - April 19) Cleaning out cupboards accomplishes two different things with one action: it helps you get rid of stale, out-of-date food and it lets you discover some items that you didn't even know you had (artichoke hearts -- a great addition to a salad)!
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) It's normal to do something absurd on occasion, like eat an ice-cream cone while you're walking on the treadmill. If you catch yourself in the middle of such an act, laugh it off, and remember it so you don't do it a second or third time!
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Whether you're dicing an uncooked squash, cubing a melon or trying to segment an orange, knowing how to use your knife efficiently can make preparing and cooking exponentially quicker. Look up some YouTube videos or sign up for a cooking class today.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Going to a state or county fair? Hey, it's important to partake of the fun, and that includes eating from a few food booths. But do rein yourself in before you eat a plate of curly fries, a cone of cotton candy and a deep-fried Twinkie!
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Bruschetta is a favorite appetizer. You can make a fun variation on the Italian classic by spreading your toast rounds with good-quality burrata and kale that's been sauteed in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Paleo, Four Hour, Weight Watchers -- there are so many diet plans that you could spend a lifetime trying them all. Meanwhile, the best plan is to eat moderately, get lots of exercise, and make most of your meals plant-based. Voila -- a lifetime of health can be yours!
Libra (September 23 - October 22) So you might not want to go full-on vegan, but there are many tricks of that lifestyle that could work for you. Nutritional yeast and cashews are surprisingly versatile and pack a punch flavor-wise, as you'll see if you start cooking vegan recipes.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) A little something-something takes an ordinary dish into a different realm altogether. Add a dash of grated Pecorino Romano to your scrambled eggs, or try shaving some truffles atop that dish of caci e pepe pasta.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Your CSA box runneth over. If you have more veggies than you know what to do with, think about using one as the container for the other. Baked squashes, hollowed out and with the tops cut off, can hold a kale salad or a fresh vegetable curry.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) There's nothing quite as satisfying as taking a food and making it enormous or teeny-tiny. So renew your appreciation of pasta and try cooking with orzo (tiny, rice-shaped pastina) or making stuffed shells or manicotti with marinara sauce.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) It's all about innovation today. You love putting an original spin on some tried-and-true flavors. Make a curry and sweet potato soup and garnish it with fresh yogurt and a few sprigs of mint. It'll be even better the next day.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Pasta: it's versatile, delicious and easy to make. It can also be pretty nutritious if you use a whole-wheat version. And why limit pasta to lunch and dinner? There's nothing tastier than spaghetti for breakfast.
