It’s finally spring, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with food. In case you’re overwhelmed by the endless offerings on Pinterest, we have a better way to pick your next recipe: your zodiac sign.
Whether you only casually read your horoscope or use it as your personal GPS, there are a lot of things to learn from how much you identify with your zodiac sign. You could use it to figure what types of people you might want to date (are Aries and Gemini a match made in heaven or a recipe for disaster?) or who your best friend might be (can you handle stroking the ego of the Leo or not?)
Picking your meals is just one more way to play. In fact, a whole diet based on astrology got popular in 2005 (in no small part because of Oprah Winfrey.)
While we’re not about to tell you how to overhaul your diet, we did think we could give you some springtime recipe inspiration. From veggie-loaded dishes to luxurious seafood platters, take a look at what the stars say about your next meal.
