    What to Eat in Capricorn Season

    The winter solstice ushers in Capricorn season, and winter has truly set in. It's time to carbo load, kids. Here's what to eat in Capricorn season.

    100 Awesome Recipes for Capricorn Season with rosemary potato rolls

    For most of us in the Northern Hemispere, Capricorn season is downright cold. There's not much fresh food to be had, and we're giving over a lot of energy to just trying to stay productive in the darkness. Luckily, Capricorn energy is very goal-oriented, and it might be the only thing keeping us all from hibernating right now. So let's eat whatever we need to keep warm and stay motivated. We have mountains to climb, kids.

    Capricorn Foods

    Capricorn foods are starchy and comforting. Think pasta, potatoes, and things that grow underground. We get a burst of flavor from rosemary, and a pop of green from spinach. Basically, we're here to get cozy.

    Onions grow underground and can be stored for the winter. They form the base flavor for so many of the soups and stews we associate witht he season. They bring the energy of protection which is perfect for this time of year.

    • Pork & Onion Hand Pies
    • Bacon Goat Cheese & Green Onion Biscuits
    • Corn & Green Onion Biscuits

    Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs. It's ties to increased memory and brain power are perfect for go-getter Capricorn energy.

    • Chicken & Goat Cheese Pasta with fresh rosemary
    • Rosemary Potato Rolls
    • Whipped Ricotta with dried herbs

    Spinach may not be growing at the moment, but luckily, it freezes well. Bring a pop of green to your winter meals along with some endurance energy for accomplishing all your goals.

    • Mexican Spinach Dip
    • Potato & Spinach Curry
    • Spinach Alfredo Mac & Cheese
    • Spinach & Cheese Baked Eggs

    Pasta is a year round food for me, but I especially love a comforting warm bowl of pasta in the winter. It's also the perfect base for building a bit of kitchen witchcraft.

    • Spaghetti Quesadilla
    • Orzo with Bacon & Peas
    • Spam Mac & Cheese
    • Cheez-Its Mac & Cheese

    Potatoes are available throughout the winter, making them ideal for this time of year. They bring that grounding earth energy that every Capricorn needs.

    • Mitraillette
    • Chorizo & Potato Breakfast Burrito
    • Za'atar Potato Salad
    Lemon Garlic Pasta with parsley

    Saturn Foods

    Saturn reminds us to be aware of our limits and boundaries. Sometimes it can be seen as a planet that holds us back, but boundaries also protect us. Capricorn's goat energy can sometimes knock people down in its attempt to get things done, so having strong boundaries is ideal. Here are some foods to help remind you of your own boundaries and limits.

    Dill bring good fortune, prosperity and protection. I think of it as a summer herb, but dried dill is absolutely delicious.

    • Grilled Potato Foil Packets with Lemon Dill Creme Fraiche
    • Dill Potato Salad
    • Dill & Cheddar Popovers

    Garlic, with its strong aroma, can definitely set up boundaries. On the other hand, it's known as an aphrodisiac, so make of that what you will.

    • Garlic & Herb Focaccia Bread
    • Garlic & Thyme Baked Camembert
    • Lemon Garlic Pasta
    • Garlic & Herb Baked Chicken

    Almonds are one of the nuts that keep us and other animals fueled through the winter. Use them to call in luck, prosperity, and universal love.

    • Flourless Chocolate Lime Cake with Margarita Cream
    • Nutty Nutella Boozy Milkshake
    • Almond Pastry Puff

    Cheese brings happiness and success. I like to remind people of this whenever they start to worry about its negative health associations. What's better for you than feeling happy?

    • Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels

    • Brie Grilled Cheese with Ham & Cherry Jam
    Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Spiced Maple Butter with a spoon

    Earth Foods

    There are so many delicious options when we're dealing with earth foods. Luckily, we live in an age of refrigeration, and we have the option to work with frozen fruits and vegetables that might be past their growing season. Let's give thanks for that miracle.

    Beer is elementally promiscuous, so it shows up on these lists a lot. I can't stand the stuff, personally, but it does add a deep flavor when used in cooking. Use it to call in prosperity and protection.

    • Whole Wheat Guinness Soda Bread
    • Cowboy Spaghetti

    Blackberries, with their spiky brambles, are common for protection magic. And of course, all berries are tied to fertility because of their many seeds. Use frozen berries during Capricorn season.

    • Brie & Blackberry Grilled Cheese
    • Cinnamon Whole Wheat Pancakes with Blackberry Brown Butter Syrup

    Carrots from your garden may have come to an end. Use frozen carrots if you need to. They're powerful for love, fertility, and creativity.

    • Maple Glazed Carrots
    • Carrot Ginger Orange Mimosa

    Tea brings courage and energy. I know I've been drinking obscene amounts of tea recently just to stay warm. Let your next cup be a mindful act of self-care.

    • Ginger & Lemon Iced Tea
    • Earl Grey with Lemon Ice Cream

    Butter is pretty much a miracle, as far as I'm concerned. Use it to call in a powerful transformation. It forms the basis of most baked goods, but here are a few recipes that really celebrate its richness.

    • Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Spiced Maple Butter

    Honey is used for sweetness and attraction. Enjoy honey in the winter as a reminder of warmer days and the return of the bees.

    • Honey Whole Wheat Pancakes
    • Spiced Honey Vodka

    Pomegranate plays a prominent role in mythology, so it represents the underworld and the dark half of the year. Every day of Capricorn season takes us one step closer to the light.

    • Pomegranate Margaritas
    • Pomegranate Martini
    • Ginger Pomegranate Cocktail

    Coffee is another flavor I don't love, though I love to work with Kahlua in my recipes. Use it to call in protection, grounding, and happiness.

    • White Russian Milkshake
    • Kahlua Brownies
    • Chocolate Kahlua Bread Pudding

    Wheat is a symbol of abundance. The wheat we harvested at Lughnasadh sustains us through the winter with fresh bread.

    • Chocolate Toffee Muffins
    • Chocolate Cinnamon Cake

    Bread can be left as an offering to spirits. Call on it for its grounding energy. Work with this ingredient either pre-baked or by creating your own simple breads.

    • Savory Sausage Bread Pudding
    • Fig Jam Crispy Prosciutto & Brie Grilled Cheese
    • Smoked Cheddar & Sage Biscuits
    • Whipped Feta on Toast
    Gammon Steak with Pineapple Salsa and pineapple glaze

    What's in Season for Capricorn

    Our ancestors wouldn't have had much to work with in Capricorn season beyond what they had preserved from the harvest. Nuts and root vegetables, some of which we've already mentioned would have still been available. Luckily, we have access to imported fruits to keep things bright and keep our vitamin C levels up.

    Pineapple is packed with nutrients. Make the most of it while you wait for your local fruits to return. And use canned pineapple. It's totally fine.
