Your Daily FoodScope for June 30, 2024

June 30, 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

Say hello to your little raisin friends today! Whether tossed in with oatmeal or yogurt, baked into breads or cookies or even in a savory sauce for chicken, there's no end to the raisin's versatility. But you want a special treat today, and a handful of chocolate covered raisins becomes your nirvana.

Taurus

Your tight financial situation doesn't bode well for an extravagant weekend. But finding enjoyment on the cheap isn't as hard as you think. Later tonight, when you're enjoying spinach calzone and garlic bread with friends, you should see that frugal can still be fun.

Gemini

Heed the words of that great sage Daffy Duck today: 'Time waits for no one, passes you by.' That may be so, but there are natural ways of slowing the aging process. Avocado oil contains antioxidants that protect your skin from damage, while egg whites and honey makes for an amazing facial moisturizer.

Cancer

You're the only one who can determine the outcome of challenges today. You can either rise to the occasion or stumble and fall. But in the end, you put together an awesome Italian feast of baked ziti and ravioli. Just don't tell anyone that you used bottled marinara sauce rather than homemade.

Leo

Friends and coworkers sometimes get annoyed with your habit of not mincing words. Honesty is a good thing, but sometimes a little decorum can go a long way. Pretend that you like their homemade brownies, rather than saying they taste like balled-up newspaper.

Virgo

Tell friends to forget about dinner plans tonight, because the feast is on you! Having your mates stop by is a fun way to show off your culinary prowess. It doesn't have to be fancy, but a steaming pot of beef stew with homemade crumbly bread and a fine organic salad will be quite impressive.

Libra

Today you want to balance your cravings for decadent food and a commitment to healthier eating. This tug-of-war is never easy, but there are delicious and ingenious ways of meeting halfway. Use extra lean ground turkey, whole-wheat noodles and low fat cheeses in your homemade lasagna or baked ziti, and a sauce you made yourself.

Scorpio

Get caught up in the moment today -- it could be one of laughter, joy and wonderful companionship! Invite friends for dinner to share the good times over food. You don't have to get complicated; tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for everyone! Such simplicity matches the theme of the day.

Sagittarius

You feel cheerful and full of beans on this last day of the work week. Spread the joy by treating friends to lunch. Chinese is always fun, and that way everyone can share. You don't know whether to start with the honey walnut prawns or Peking duck, so throw it all on one plate and go wild!

Capricorn

Today you learn that the third (or fourth or fifth) time really is a charm. That may be how long it's taken you to perfect New England clam chowder or braised lamb shanks. But, hey, Rome wasn't built in the day -- and look how that turned out.

Aquarius

Social networking may have hooked you up with a new circle of friends, so arrange a fun dinner where everyone can get to know each other better. Pick a cuisine like Italian that matches the fun mood of the evening, and avoid anything fiery and confrontational such as Mexican or Szechuan.

Pisces

You know that oatmeal is a power food, what with all that fiber, iron, thiamine and magnesium. Make sure you pay attention to the package before putting it into your shopping cart, as flavored oatmeal may be high in sugar. Go with all-natural oats and add honey, cinnamon or nutmeg for a flavor boost that doesn't involve sugar.
