Eating healthy and managing your weight are key components of the recommendations for living a heart-healthy lifestyle from the American Heart Association. Preparing meals at Let’s Dish! each month is a great way to stock up on healthy and portion-controlled, main-course meals, but what about the rest of the time?   Being conscious of what and how much you eat is key - and sometimes you’ll need to [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of being a guest in Mrs. Carlivati’s 5th and 6th grade science classes at Nysmith School in Virginia. Mrs. Carlivati, an amazing teacher, does a unit on nutrition with her classes. In celebration of AHA’s Go Red for Women campaign, I was invited to lead a [...]
If you don’t “dish” often enough to enjoy a Let’s Dish! meal every night of the month (wink, wink!), you may find yourself occasionally heading out to a restaurant, especially during the weekend. We asked Catherine Joiner, registered dietician and our nutrition resource from the American Heart Association, to provide readers with some tips for [...]
Lisa and I put on our Let’s Dish! aprons this past weekend to prepare a heart healthy dish from February’s menu for the Sunday Brunch segment on WBAL-TV (Baltimore, MD). During our three minutes, we tried to share as many tips as we could on how to identify heart healthy ingredients and integrate these nutritious foods into your diet. Here’s the video [...]
Today’s post is actually written by my father, Rick Corcoran, Sr. When I sign my name, I use “Jr.” to distinguish myself from my dad, but I am actually “Richard J. Corcoran IV”, the fourth generation with the name. It’s an honor to be part of this lineage, but there is one downside: in addition [...]
Today we share the first in a series called “Dish from the Heart” – personal stories about the impact heart disease can have on an individual and their family.  We hope these first-hand experiences will inspire you to join Let’s Dish! and the American Heart Association in the fight against heart disease and to live each day with your heart health in mind. [...]
Rachel Rosenthal shared a great idea that really got me thinking. At first glance, it’s a simple system for reducing clutter. But it makes me think of more– things like the value of recycling and even the challenge of teaching our kids discipline and delayed gratification. Before I complicate things and wax a bit philosophical, [...]
I love Let’s Dish!, we have used you in the past when going on vacation with friends so instead of having to plan for meals we pre-pack them and enjoy time together instead of time in the kitchen. – Kristin Long of Organizational Specialists Inc., www.organizationalspecialists.com As we head into MLK weekend, you may have a [...]
Every parent thinks about it (or tries not to): Will what I say and do as a parent help my children become healthy and happy adults?  We caught this Today Show ”Parenting & Family” segment (January 16, 2008) on how parenting style may affect weight in children and think it is worth sharing: Parents: Are you making your kids [...]
OK, I’m practically bursting at the seams to post this Resolution Solution! First, a Food for Thought confession: Daryl Williams, the organizer sharing her tip today, has spent a little time in my house and in Lisa’s (she’s going to kill me!). But we can both proudly say we have some fantastic results to show for [...]
It’s the weekend, so we thought you might like a few extra tips and hopefully a lot of extra motivation! ***** If you’re like me, you’ve made plenty of resolutions this year – so many so that it’s turned into an overwhelming to-do list! And so many of my resolutions seem great in theory, but [...]
Ah, “The 5PM Scramble”. You know the drill. Busy day. Kids getting hungry. Haven’t thought at all about dinner. What’s in the fridge? Do we have any leftovers? Is there time to stop by the grocery store? Honey, can you pick something up on the way home? Any pizza coupons around here?! Plan your meals [...]
One of the biggest mistakes is to try to take on the entire task at once. After an initial burst of energy, many people poop out, and never finish the project. Instead, do it in steps. Organize one room at a time, one section at a time. Spread it out over manageable steps, but keep [...]
We thought we’d switch topics quickly for a moment and introduce our new “Family Matters” category for an important reason. A story came out yesterday on ABC 7 (WJLA) that focuses family dinners and their importance to healthy eating, particularly among teenage girls. The TV news segment discusses a new study that finds teenage girls are less [...]
The world is always requiring us to do so much. File that report. Pick up the dry cleaning. Wash the dog. At New Year’s, we often pile on a few more “to dos” as part of our resolutions. Lose weight. Forego the snooze button. Clean the gutters. Sure, there’s always more you can do. Once [...]
