Parent/Kid Sessions Featured on ‘Kid Baltimore’ Blog

Judging by the popularity of our Parent/Kid sessions, we knew we were onto something. But even we were surprised and delighted to find we’d been “secret shopped” by Joyce Hesselberth of the popular “Kid Baltimore” blog. “Restaurant-quality food”, she wrote after bringing her daughter to dish on July 31st; “directions are super clear, and the ingredients are beautiful and fresh.” And when she invited the extended family to their first meal? “Disappeared before I knew what happened,” she beamed.

As Joyce noted, Let’s Dish! Parent/Kid sessions are a great chance to efficiently combine kid entertainment with household chores. Overall, the meals are “a big hit” she says. And we couldn’t agree more. Check out the complete Kid Baltimore write-up here. Or sign up for your own Parent/Kid experience (one kid, age 8+, per parent please!). Happy dishing!

Man, we love getting emails like the one below. While I personally am a documented aficionado of our S’mores Pie, Julie W makes a strong case for the creamy cool richness of Frozen Strawberry Margarita Pie. Which is better? See for yourself! Just print this blog post and bring it into any MD or No. VA Let’s Dish! location and get 50% OFF any pie when you buy a pie at regular price.

Dear Let’s Dish!,

Your Frozen Strawberry Margarita Pie is the bomb! I served that wonderful pie of yours to my parents last night for dessert and they were practically licking their plates clean! I think that Let’s Dish! needs to rename this desert as Awesome Frozen Strawberry Margarita Pie because it’s so delicious! Thank you again for sharing this wonderful and yummy desert with me and my family! It was a big hit!

Cheers, Julie W.

You know you’re a new mom when…

We’ve enjoyed meeting and seeing a lot of new moms in all our Let’s Dish! stores this week thanks to our special FREE Meals for New Moms promotion. Here’s one funny story from a new mom’s “freezer experience” in our Gaithersburg, MD, store. Thanks for sending it in, Dawn!

A mom stopped by today with her baby and birth certificate, and when she got ready to leave she couldn’t find the birth certificate. Eileen (our customer service manager) and I helped her look for it and it turned up in the retail freezer! We all laughed that the incident was proof she is a new mom - only a sleep deprived mom would forget the birth certificate in the freezer! As she left, she said she can keep up with her baby but can’t be responsible Dawn Brownwith anything else.

I thought you might enjoy hearing about how we are helping new moms!!

Plan a weekly “geography” dinner!

Risk-free culinary adventures with Let’s Dish!Are your seatbelts still fastened? Are you still with us? Have you learned anything new so far on your culinary adventures with Let’s Dish!? Speaking of learning something new, here is a great way to get the whole family on board and involved on this little adventure we are taking…

Pick one night each week (”say Tuesdays”) for “Geography” Dinner. This will be a great way to teach your family - and maybe even yourself - a few new things.

To prepare for your dinner, pick a country or a culture for the week (take turns letting different family members pick the country or put a bunch of names in a hat, and draw one out each week).
