As a full-time worker, a wife, and a mother of two (with one being a special needs child), my time is limited and my life is a constant whirlwind.  Something ordinarily simple, such as making dinner each night, is often more of just another necessary chore that is hard to fit into my already hectic schedule.  Meals will often tend to be quick, simple, and unfortunately…quite repetitious!  Our taste-buds are always left desiring for something much more delectable and different!

Let’s Dish has been nothing short of AMAZING to me and my family’s meal planning.  With Let’s Dish, I am able to dedicate just an hour or two each month, and prepare a wide variety of meals that are both delicious and healthy.  My husband and I will often go together to make the meals, leaving our kids with their grandparents during our short outing.  It’s been really nice to have this extra quality time together as husband and wife, which is a rarity to get these days!  We have so much fun together reading off the recipes and preparing our meals; and in between dishing up each meal, we usually devour some of the tasty samples and desserts that are out on the counter.  The samples usually then leave us “oohing” and “ahhing” our way to the ready-made case to purchase a few of these extra items while we’re there.

Some of our most favorite meals that we’ve dished so far have been the New Orleans-Style Andouille Pasta Toss, Shrimp Scampi, Southern Crispy Chicken, and pretty much all of the Pork Chop and Tilapia meals, which all taste incredible!  We also can never get enough of the Homemade Potato Chips, the Scones, and our absolute favorite…the Molten-Chocolate Cakes!

What I love most about Let’s Dish is that I’m able to actually prepare meals with a variety of ingredients and spices that I don’t have access to at home; nor do I wish to buy at the grocery store, since I prefer not to spend extra money on a full container of a certain ingredient for maybe just that one sparing recipe that I’d use it for at home.  We are also able to finally eat a variety of different meals for dinner, and each meal now always feels extra gratifying and special since my husband and I dished it together!

Thanks so much,

Anne Smith

If you’re a gluten-free disher, this salad is great with rice swapped out for the pasta.

I keep going back because of the staff at Ashburn. I can’t imagine not seeing them once a month. We lament about growing old, share stories about our families, and tease about sports teams. (Last month I had to eat humble pie, even though not on the Let’s Dish menu, when the Capitals moved on and my Penguins were eliminated.) I see the staff more often than most of my relatives. I watch them interacting with new and returning Dishers and, from what I see, I know I am not the only person who feels this way. This group is like a perfect recipe. Take good ingredients and add spice!

We only have so much space in our newsletter, and I thought this was just too good to shorten! Thank you, Cathy, for sharing – and thanks for being such a loyal customer and friend of the Let’s Dish! family. We love the pic, and we don’t hold it against you that you’re a Penguins fan!

Ever feel like you’re part of the “Dish” family? Have a story to share? We’d love to hear it! And maybe you’re the perfect candidate to be our next featured disher. (Psst! There’s about 10 minutes of fame and a Let’s Dish! gift card in it for you!). Email us at bloggers@letsdish.net and share your Let’s Dish! story (and pic).

As you may have seen in the grocery store, the price of beef has been on the rise. Unfortunately, current beef prices will keep flank steak off of our regular menu. We can’t imagine summer without some of our favorite Let’s Dish! flank steaks, so we’re changing things up a bit. We are excited to offer your favorite flank steaks on our Ready Mades page (the second page of the monthly menu where you add on sides and scones etc.). In May, we will serve up Mary’s Favorite Flank at a cost of $29 each. Your flank steak will be pre-ordered and will also be available to pick up from the Ready Made case (both full and split sizes will be available).

Believe me when I say we wish we could include flank on our “regular” menu; we also wish we could go back to a time when gas was $2 a gallon. That doesn’t seem to be happening so we are making the best with what we’ve got. Keep an eye on the Ready Made page of your order, there will be more favorites to come!
