Grey—that's all we can see while writing this email. Will these lifeless skies bring rain? Of course. When? It's April, so always. But this week, that's fine—because we've chosen five of our coziest spring recipes to bear through the season's early showers. Discover five comforting recipes, a handy grocery list, and how to get this meal plan in your inbox each week.

1. If you want to keep the porridge’s balance, listen to lauded chef April Bloomfield and refrain from skimping on the salt.
2. With the creamy pasta, you could swap asparagus for broccolini or whatever crunchy, green vegetable looks best at your grocery.
3. Read the soup recipe’s comments. There’s a lot of great ideas in there—specifically one that mentions adding meatballs.
4. You can swap the cod with any firm, fatty fish—like salmon or halibut.
5. Double the cookie recipe, portion out the dough, then throw half in the freezer. Now you’ve got fresh cookies on demand.
