Good Life Potato, Leek & Sausage Soup
On cold days, nothing sound quite as good as soup. This potato, leek and sausage soup is hearty and delicious! Let it simmer a couple of hours if you can. You could put it in a crockpot, but I hate to dirty up another pot. When I want to simmer something at a low temperature […]

Good Life Classic Lasagna
What’s not to love about cheesy, gooey, lasagna? This dish has comfort written all over it! It’s kind of time consuming, so if you’re making one, may as well make two and freeze one for later. This recipe calls for Good Life Magic Meat Sauce, so make sure you have the recipe before you start! […]
Good Life Pear & Gorgonzola Salad
What a delicious salad! With crisp pears, creamy Gorgonzola cheese and crunchy walnuts, it’s sure to please. You can serve this salad tossed any time, but I like to arrange it on individual plates for Christmas to serve with our prime rib. It looks so pretty on the table with it’s red pears. Update: this […]
Good Life Twice Baked Potato Casserole
This is an amazing side dish! It’s very decadent with cream, butter and bacon but worth every calorie. We have twice baked potato casserole every Christmas with our prime rib. I adapted this from an Emeril Lagasse recipe I found years ago. One note, don’t use an electric mixer; it makes the potatoes too soupy. […]

3 Reasons Your Last Halloween Dinner Was a Fail
Did you have a Pinterest fail last Halloween? Do you know why? In a word, perfectionism. Perfectionism is our enemy. It sucks the life and fun out of us. We lose focus on what’s important when we focus on perfection. The important thing on any holiday is to enjoy our families and to make happy […]
Good Life Bourbon & Apple Punch
We serve this punch every Halloween as a treat for our grownup trick-or-treaters! It has flavors of fall and is always a big hit. John and I set up a table and chairs at the end of our driveway to serve candy and cocktails. We put the punch in a big drink dispenser marked “adults […]
