If you or someone you love is gluten-intolerant, we know how challenging it can be to enjoy healthy, convenient, delicious, restaurant-quality meals.
At Let’s Dish!, we accommodate all kinds of dietary restrictions — and are especially proud to serve the growing population of dishers who seek gluten-free alternatives.
Many of our meals are already gluten-free, or can […]

People are often surprised to learn that the Let’s Dish! meals they know and love are actually good for them. As I develop the monthly menus, I am fully aware that these are the meals you will be feeding your family. I want them to taste good (hey, we all know some picky eaters), but […]

Here’s a different take on “Fresh Ideas” - a great article on that issue of which type of fruits and veggies you should choose. We’ve discussed this before on Food for Thought but it never hurts to get a fresh reminder (sorry - couldn’t help the pun)!

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 […]

While studies have shown that a healthier choice is to eat wholesome, home-cooked meals, preferably ones prepared at Let’s Dish!, the reality is that every once in a while, you go out to eat. And, sometimes it’s even fun to go out with your family. But that plaguing guilt, confusion and paralysis that takes over when you […]

We have all heard of superfoods. Everyone is talking about them. If they paid me a dollar for every time I saw them on a talk show, I’d be rich! So what are they?
Superfoods range from various types of fruits and vegetables to spices to nuts to herbal supplements. They are believed to have higher […]

If you don’t - or aren’t sure - you are not alone.  Just 1 in 4 Americans know the early physical warnings of a heart attack - and what to do next, according to a new goverment report.Â
For your own benefit and to change this “alarmingly low” statistic as described by the CDC, let’s all take a minute […]

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 […]

Here’s a postscript to last week’s post on sodium and heart health. On Monday, ABC Health News reported that those cute cans of Campbell’s soup - you know, the ones with the kids’ characters on the can - are getting a little healthier: “Campbell’s Lowering Sodium in Kids Soups” (by Geoff Mulvihill, Feb 18, 2008).
Now these 12 Campbell’s soups will have […]

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.
