Your Daily FoodScope for September 29, 2024

September 29, 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

Acknowledging the strengths and talents of others may be hard for someone as prideful as you. But today you may be forced to concede that someone actually did something better than you. So congratulate a co-worker who brings in a delicious batch of homemade blueberry muffins, but don't expect them to give you the recipe.

Taurus

You appreciate beauty; aesthetics are important to you. And just like paintings in a museum, your meals should be bright and colorful. Blueberries, purple eggplant, green broccoli, and leafy vegetables are packed with important nutrients and antioxidants, which help you paint a healthy palette.

Gemini

Co-workers may accuse you of starting projects and leaving them for someone else to finish. You'll do the same at home tonight, only this time no one will complain. You'll get a big spaghetti and meatball dinner started only to find that you made too much, and you'll need to invite friends over to help you finish it all.

Cancer

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but today watch for people who emulate your ideas and claim them as their own. Don't be so quick to give away the recipe for your turkey croquette and gravy. You may be invited to a dinner party this weekend where the croquettes tastes suspiciously familiar.

Leo

You'll feel good today, as if you just won the lottery. If only that were true, but you'll still feel generous and giving. So take friends to a nice tapas restaurant for dinner. You'll spring for the puntillitas, gambas al ajillo and mejillones en tomate, but ask someone to buy the sangria. It's not as if you won the lottery or anything.

Virgo

People may find your impulse buying to be wasteful, but there's a method to your madness. A buying spree at the olive bar may seem frivolous to others, but there's nothing better in Greek dishes than fresh kalamata olives. Besides, those green fatties stuffed with garlic are awesome in martinis.

Libra

The balance you crave in your life can sometimes can be hard to achieve. But don't beat yourself up today if you've succumbed to temptation and had a cheeseburger and onion rings for lunch. You can atone for your sins tomorrow by eating healthy fare, such as salads, grilled chicken breasts and fruit.

Scorpio

All you might be able to think about today is a pile of nachos loaded with cheese, guacamole and refried beans. It would be easy to give in to such temptation and dig in. But you know the waist-expanding, artery-clogging results of your actions, and you'll have a much healthier grilled salmon rice bowl instead.

Sagittarius

You may have to choose between being very good today and being oh-so bad. But you'll decide that being bad can be very good, and you'll not only order a bacon mushroom burger for lunch, but you'll ask for extra bacon. You'll think briefly about the consequences of your actions, but that won't stop you from digging in.

Capricorn

You may be invited to a classical concert today, even though that's not really your thing. But show a little respect and decorum once the performance begins. Avoid texting friends to tell them how bored you are, and don't be tempted to snack on the bag of potato chips you snuck in.

Aquarius

Your mental capacities will need to be at an all-time high today. Too bad your brain can't get out of low gear. It sounds as if your diet is sorely lacking in the glucose and potassium that are known to feed brain cells. Fruits and veggies are a great source of both, and it won't take much brainpower to figure out where you can get them.

Pisces

A new diet may have you rejecting all of your old eating habits for new, much more rigid ones. But smart snacking can fill in the empty spaces between meals and keep you from binging. It's all about what you eat -- string cheese, celery and peanut butter and trail mix are all smart alternatives to sweet and salty snacks.
