Aries (March 21 - April 19) It's time to put a more grown-up spin on a childhood favorite. Add smoked salmon, thinly sliced tomatoes and Dijon mustard to a grilled cheese. Make macaroni and cheese but use orzo instead of the usual elbow pasta.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Encourage the next generation to respect their bodies and the planet by making sure they experience fruits and vegetables in all their glory -- that means knowing how to prepare, present and make kids appreciate what Mother Nature has to offer.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You love killing two birds with one stone. Cook something that takes a very long time in the oven and you'll not only fill your house with the smell of something delicious, you'll heat the place at the same time. Now that's being energy efficient.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Part of the joy of being with loved ones is eating together. And while almost everyone loves dessert, you can do what you can to keep things healthy. Raw desserts, usually made with nut flours and healthy sweeteners, are a great option.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) You love to throw caution to the winds, but if you're wearing your favorite white linen shirt, don't eat chocolate ice cream over it. Chances are there won't be any drips, but if there are, you'll be sad you didn't take preventative measures.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You don't need to create fanciful menus using rarified ingredients to nourish yourself. Braise some chicken in a stockpot. Add salt, vegetables, broth, and the grain of your choice. Bring to a boil, let simmer. Voila: you have a delicious meal for the next two days.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) If you have animal companions, think about upgrading their diets. Many dogs and cats love fresh fruits and vegetables and will happily eat them. A dollop of good quality yogurt is also great for dog's digestive systems (with all that healthy bacteria).
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Are you throwing out more and more expired food these days? There's a good chance that it's due to how your refrigerator and cupboards are organized. If short items are hidden behind tall ones, it's hard to remember to use them.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) There are a few pretty good rules to follow when it comes to food: get a meal at the mall and you get what you pay for. A ninety-nine cent hamburger really isn't a bargain when you think about what goes in it.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Skipping soda can do a lot more for your health than you realize. If it's the carbonation you crave, get a carbonation machine and make your own seltzer (more ecological, too). Sugary soft drinks add inches to your waist and weaken your immune system.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) The way you eat affects your mental and physical performance. If you're trying to improve your swimming time or need lots of never-ending energy for your dance classes, figure out what foods will get you there.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Revive your culinary fervor by taking off on a pleasure jaunt. Explore a green market without a shopping list. Visit a fancy bakery and marvel at the artistry of the chefs' creations. Once you get out there, you'll want to keep exploring.
