Welcome to the Good and Good for You™ newsletter, a quick 5-minute read with ideas and info on ways to help improve your life – including a tasty and healthful recipe.

This Winter Storm Warning issue shares:

1. Best Life Living Tip: How a Quarter Can Help with Food Safety in a Storm
2. Self-Care Strategy: Controlling News Consumption
3. Ideas and Inspiration: Zoe Bakes — Eat Dessert First
4. Good and Good for You™ Recipes: There are four this week, so you can settle in for the cold weather with some easy soup recipes.

• • Quick Herb Chicken and Dumplings is Southern comfort in a bowl, made with an easy drop dumpling dough and a rotisserie chicken.
  • Vegan Vegetable Soup doesn’t require hours of simmering ham bones or pots of homemade vegetable stock. It is what is ingloriously referred to as a “dump-and-stir” — but packed with flavor and a secret ingredient!
  • Baked Potato Soup can be ready in less than 30 minutes. Serve with an array of toppings, such as scallions, bacon, and cheese, to allow everyone to customize.
  • Cream of Mushroom Soup – is rich and creamy without cream or a red and white can in sight!
