As you know, we get tons of feedback each month. One common request has been for us to offer 4, 8 or 12 ”half-meals” at a Let’s Dish! session. Unlike traditional “splitting”, where dishers get two of each half-sized meal, “halving” (so to speak) would provide more variety by allowing dishers to make just one half (not […]
Sides, sides everywhere!
The customer feedback has come in loud and clear. Sugar Snap Peas, Sweet Potato Fries, Exotic Grains and Fire Roasted Vegetables. You love our sides, and you want more of them.
We hear you.  And we’ve responded by including more sides as part of the regular Let’s Dish! menu.  We’ve added Sugar Snap Peas to […]

The idea of ”good” and “bad” fats in food is quite confusing.  At Let’s Dish!, our commitment to our customers is that our monthly menu of dinners will always be trans fat free and contain at least four heart-healthy meals. (During American Heart Month, we had thirteen!)  We can offer such heathful choices because of work by our menu development team as well the fact you prepare […]

I heard about RealAge from Newt Gingrich. Seriously, I did! Back in 2006, we won a US Chamber of Commerce Award for our Let’s Dish! stores in the mid-Atlantic and were named one of the top small businesses in the country. (We won again in 2007- how’s that for patting ourselves on the back!). Anyway, in 2006, Newt […]

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 […]

Most of us think that fat is the enemy of heart health, but did you know that sodium - yes, salt - can be seriously harmful to your health? A recent USA Today article by Heather Terwilliger, “Salt intake brings new levels of alarm” (Feb 10, 2008), emphasizes just how dangerous salt can be.
