Late Summer Reading List -  Five Books to Enjoy in the Sun

Late Summer Reading List - Five Books to Enjoy in the Sun

I just returned from a beach vacation where I packed more books than clothes. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect getaway? A bunch of books, a sandy beach, and nowhere to be? Ah, heaven! Alas, back here in real life we may not be able to disappear for a whole day, but we can get lost for an hour. Here are my five favorite books of the summer to help inspire a delightful mini-break.

Do It Now: Open Your Own OAW Chapter

Do It Now: Open Your Own OAW Chapter

One of my goals this year is “seek out adventures with my girls, Randy, by myself, and with friends.” February will be all about the girls (Eggroll specifically – she’s going to be three and she starts her first dance class at the end of the month), but January was about my lady friends.

What to Buy At Costco

What to Buy At Costco

It’s not breaking news to say Costco can be a life-saver. I mean, where else can you buy car tires, a new TV, and a 50-pound bag of sugar all at the same place where you get a hot dog and a soda for $1.50? What a great time to be alive!!

Say Hello To Sean, Our Executive Chef

Say Hello To Sean, Our Executive Chef

It took six years to add an executive chef to our team, but Sean was totally worth the wait! While we pride ourselves for being a supportive workplace for anyone who loves food no matter what their resume says, having Sean on our team has made a good thing even better. This means more great food at a great price for you, and efficient kitchen practices that help us scale our efforts without breaking our staff.

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies of Milwaukee and Beyond

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies of Milwaukee and Beyond

Editor’s Note: I originally created this post back in 2019. Since I’m always thinking about cookies, I thought it was time to revisit it.

I know I’m biased, but the cookies Sarah S. bakes for our meal delivery customers here in Milwaukee is at least top 3 if not THE TOP cookie in town. Bonus – ours is delivered straight to your door. Give it a whirl next time you order prepared meals and let us know if you agree.

Take Dinner Off Your Employees’ Plates

Take Dinner Off Your Employees’ Plates

When people think of The Real Good Life, they think of fresh, delicious, made-from-scratch meals delivered right to their door.

Our word of the year is COMMUNITY, and we are living that in full force.
