Dungeness Crab Mac and Cheese is an elegant and indulgent dish that’s perfect for wrapping up July. And while Cancer season is technically over, I like to usher it out on a high note. Featuring dairy products and crab, which are both ruled by the Moon, it’s a nourishing, hearty and (I repeat) indulgent dish, that’s definitely for grown-ups.
Sunday’s Full Moon in Capricorn is not actually a Blue Moon. That’s next month. But Moon Milk seemed like the thing to do for this full moon, since the Moon will be at 29 degrees Capricorn and opposing the Sun at 29 degrees Cancer. With both Cancer and the Moon being all about nourishment, and ruling dairy products, I just felt like it was the way to go. And since this is my blog, I can ignore the fact that I’m a month early. But seriously, it gives you time to plan and since the ingredients aren’t really something you’ll …
This Quick and Easy Shrimp Tacos recipe can be whipped up in a jiffy. I almost called them “Cheater’s Shrimp Tacos” because they use cooked shrimp to make preparation simple. Just season with Martian Seafood Taco Seasoning and place on a street taco tortilla with some bagged coleslaw, diced avocado, diced mangos, salsa and crema and you’re good to go. What goes with Shrimp Tacos? Serve with a side of Spanish Rice, some refried beans, Quick and Easy Salsa and Cilantro Lime Crema Sauce. Why panet rules Shrimp Tacos? Shrimp are ruled by the sign of Cancer and the planet …
Cilantro Lime Crema is bursting with creamy, bright flavor that just screams summer. Use it on fish or shrimp tacos, or as a spicy dip for veggies. This Cilantro Lime Crema will wake your tastbuds up. In this recipe, I use Duke’s Mayonnaise which has a distinctly tangy taste. If you don’t like the flavor of Duke’s or don’t have it on hand, you can substitute a different brand of mayo, but you may want to leave out the honey, which is really there to cut through the tangy flavor and give it some depth. What is Cilantro Lime Crema …
Crab Louie was one of my mom’s favorite dishes, and we used to have it every summer when I was growing up. Of course, that was back when crab didn’t cost you half a limb. But I’m bringing it back, because I find it particularly appropriate for this new Moon in Cancer not only because my mother was born under the zodiac sign of Cancer, but because Crab literally is the symbol of the sign. Add to that the fact that it is just plain hot here in Seattle, and a nice cool refreshing Crab Louie recipe is definitely the …
The Strawberry Full Moon Happy full moon in Capricorn! The June Strawberry Moon is a balancing act between material productivity and taking it easy at home, so I’m celebrating at home with a yummy Strawberry, Basil and Brie sandwich. This is the first of two full moons in Capricorn. This one is at 1 degree Cancer. The second one will be July 21st at 29 degrees Cancer, so check your chart to see what aspects they will be making. June is strawberry season. And I’m here for it. Fresh, ripe, juicy strawberries are little packets of wonderful. They are perfect …
Earlier this month, I decided to celebrate the New Moon in Taurus, and set an intention for building new wealth, with…wait for it…potato salad. Why potato salad, you ask? Because potatoes are of the earth. They are stable and grounding. They grow beneath the surface in fertile soil, and are shaped like the moon, so I feel they are the perfect vehicle for honoring an Earth sign moon (Capricorn, Taurus or Virgo). I also picked Yukon Gold potatoes because they are just that: gold. Then, for the dressing, I put together dill and parsley and a surprising hint of nutmeg …
