April showers may bring May flowers, but we still need a boost to help beat the rainy-day blues. Start dinner tonight with cheesy caprese toasts and a citrus salad, and move along to a belly-warming hot n' sour soup. Cap off the evening with a chocolate-laced endorphin boost to ensure you leave the table with a spring in your step.
