This week's meal plan is all about comforting and nutritious food. We’ve got: Sticky Roasted Carrots on Puy Lentil Salad; a Hearty Chicken, Kale, and Potato Soup; and a mountain of Spiced Potato Röstis with Carrot Slaw & Poached Eggs. Lots of herbs, spices and lemons are used to give some punch, and we can’t forget about one of the best components of the plan… homemade garlicky croutons.
