Salmon paired with lentils is a very traditional French meal. Not only are lentils tasty and healthy, they are also really inexpensive, making them perfect for a big group.

Comfort Pot Roast
People always ask me what my favorite comfort food is, and it just might be pot roast. For me, there's nothing better on a cold day than a hearty pot roast. The house will smell so good with it slow cooking in the oven all day. Serve it with delicate chive buttered noodles or mashed potatoes.
