Your Daily FoodScope for August 21, 2024

August 21, 2024



Do you often find yourself wondering what food to cook, how to cook it, and even that dreaded question—how much of it? It’s a daily struggle for all of us, but need not be with our food horoscope. Satisfaction is only a click away!

Aries

It'll feel as if everyone is making demands on your time today, so show patience. Do your best to be there for them, but recognize when you're being taken advantage of. Take time to treat yourself later in the day, perhaps to a nice Thai chicken salad you won't have to share with anyone else.

Taurus

You may feel your strength return today after a few draining days. You may even feel peppy enough for some exercise. Have a modest dinner of white-meat turkey tossed in a green salad and a cup of butternut squash soup, and you'll be almost ready to hit the week running.

Gemini

It may be time to wean yourself from cycle of nonstop eating. Seek a light and nutritious change for tonight's dinner. Broiled citrus-marinated tilapia with couscous should do the trick, although you're still longing for apple pie.

Cancer

Cooking up kooky ideas could help you get rid of the leftovers in grand style today. From shells stuffed with a creamy, cheesy meat sauce to pot pies to stir fry, there are million things you can do with all of it if you show a little imagination.

Leo

It'll be better to end the weekend with a fizzle than a bang. It's time to put on the breaks on the over indulgences of the past few days. It'll be tempting to whip up one last batch of deep-fried croquettes, but you'll feel a lot better if you go for a green salad and lean protein.

Virgo

Strip away the complications and get down to practicalities today. Too many embellishments often bury the essence just underneath. Simple will be better today, so toss some diced chicken breast, veggies and a lively teriyaki sauce in a wok and stir-fry your way to a delicious and uncomplicated dinner.

Libra

You may finally reach critical mass today, and the thought of eating more of the same-old-same-old has lost its appeal. So go easy on your overloaded system when planning dinner tonight. A bowl of bouillabaisse with a Dungeness crab salad will be a good start on your return to normality.

Scorpio

Today will be a great day to indulge in sports, either as a competitor or a spectator, although you'd prefer the latter. That way you can enjoy nachos, hot dogs, beer and ribs without the fear of injury or getting all sweaty.

Sagittarius

It'll be the small things that pack the most punch today. Take the humble sunflower seeds, for instance. These gems are full of essential fatty acids that can, among other things, maintain skin integrity and keep you looking young! Pumpkin and flax seeds, as well as most nuts, will work just as well.

Capricorn

You deserve to relax today. So put a favorite show on TV, kick back in your comfy chair, and declare that your work for the time being has ceased. They'll get the message, and it won't be long before they're serving you homemade pasta primavera loaded with garlic, just the way you like it.

Aquarius

Observe closely the strange paradoxes of behavior that are your kids today; sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to what they do. So don't overanalyze them and just have fun with it. If one of your babies wants a peanut butter and banana sandwich on pumpernickel, just laugh and make one.

Pisces

You can either let old love letters keep you chained to your sorry past, or you can declare your independence! So go ahead and set them all on fire. You may see the ghosts of dead relationships waft slowly to the sky where they belong. Bring along graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows, and make that fire do double duty.
