Your Daily FoodScope for July 14, 2024

July 14, 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

If you must debate with people today, at least make sure it's about something important. With the shape the world is in, coming up with topical topics should be easy. Debating over whether smooth or chunky peanut butter is the best is a waste of time and energy. Duh -- everyone knows it's chunky.

Taurus

A fast-paced day should leave you feeling exhausted and stressed. It could be a good day for a pasta dinner. Carbohydrates produce the hormone serotonin that promotes relaxation, so tonight chow down on wheat penne with a light marinara sauce. There's a reason it's called comfort food.

Gemini

Your fast-paced and hectic day doesn't leave much time to indulge in the finer nuances of healthy eating. Snatch a few minutes for something substantial and nutritious that's also quick and easy, like a pre-made salad with grilled chicken. It may not be by the book, but it's as good as it gets today.

Cancer

Lunch today consists of a ham and cheese sandwich and a bag of chips, but you may dream of something more daring and exotic. You can cover a lot of ground with Burmese cuisine and its strong Chinese, Indian and Thai influences. Try the delicious and interesting mohinga. It beats ham and cheese any day.

Leo

Stepping away from the pressure cooker of work for a few days should be nice. There's bound to be an after work Happy Hour somewhere where you can mix and mingle. Grab takeaway Thai or Chinese on the way home. Beer nuts and goldfish crackers don't constitute a healthy dinner.

Virgo

You try to do your absolute best at work today, you really do -- but despite your best intentions, you may come up short in everything you do. Things don't improve much later when your homemade baked ziti with sausage just doesn't have the same robust flavor as that at your favorite Italian restaurant.

Libra

You may have an intense, meaningful discussion with your innermost self today so expect a mental tug-of-war to rage, as all sides are conflicted. A mutual decision needs to be made fast, but ultimately, your gut urges you to go for the chicken breast on wheat rather than a gyro.

Scorpio

Reading the small print today is worth the strain on your eyes, as you discover some shocking information. You might not have had any idea how much sugar is in that yogurt or the high sodium content of sparkling mineral water. Another thing you may learn is that you just can't trust anything these days.

Sagittarius

You may be less than excited about today's food of choice of biscuits because in and of themselves, biscuits can be slightly bland. But surround them with fried chicken legs and drown them in thick mushroom gravy, and you really have something to celebrate.

Capricorn

Strip things down to the bare necessities today. Discarding the extraneous and shedding baggage makes for a smoother, more streamlined day. Use this philosophy later when stir-fried chicken breast with a variety of veggies is another simple masterpiece.

Aquarius

Creativity can help turn the mundane into the marvelous today. You may be planning a healthy salad for dinner, so throw something unexpected yet yummy into the mix. Dandelions, mint, and nasturtium can all be found in your back yard, and they give your simple meal a surprising flavor boost.

Pisces

Today you might feel you've been zapped into a strange alternate universe. This sudden break from reality could make for a trying day, so do your best until your workday is through. Then do as little as possible; perhaps just heating up a pot of New England clam chowder that's as thick as the fog in your brain.
