February is American Heart Month - a time to raise awareness about heart disease and living a healthy lifestyle. Â As a company that feed families each and every day, it’s an important time for us to spread the word about the value of good nutrition in preventing heart disease. Â Our commitment to heart health 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 […]
Relax-the-max on most Let’s Dish! meals
Due to popular demand (i.e., yours!) we have relaxed our limits on the maximum quantity of any individual meal you can order at a session.Â
For many meals, we have set the max at 4 (or 8 splits). A few meals have lower maximums, either because they take longer to dish […]
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)!
Fruits and Veggies: Fresh, Canned, […]
As American Heart Month draws to a close, we want to encourage everyone to remember that focusing on your heart health should be a year-round, every day effort.
We hope you found the articles posted this month on Food for Thought helpful towards your own personal heart health. It’s been educational and inspirational […]
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 […]
When Alexa and I went on WBAL for Sunday Brunch, one of the topics we discussed was fruit vs. fruit juice. In today’s post, Lisa follows up on the issue with some quick guidance on the difference in healthfulness between fruit and fruit juice:
Lisa, does fruit juice count as one of your dialy servings of fruit?
And, is […]
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 […]
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 […]
Sheila Ferrell is a social worker on the open heart surgery unit at Union Memorial Hospital. Last year, her husband went through open heart surgery and was treated on her very floor at Union Memorial.  We thank Sheila for sharing her first-hand and very personal perspective on heart disease with Let’s Dish!.Â
My husband, Jim, and I went through […]
Lisa and I dropped by the FOX 45 Morning News (WBFF-TV, Baltimore MD) on Monday, February 11th, to continue our mission during American Heart Month.
During the Morning Recipes segment, we gave a demonstration of a heart healthy dish on the Let’s Dish! menu in February, Roasted Pork Tenderloins with Red Currant Sauce. We added some […]

You’ll join millions of other men, women and children (even cities!) who will support the cause by wearing red on National Wear Red Day.  And, if you only have a few spare minutes on February 1st, here are two quick ways to encourage heart […]
It would be hard to miss all the heart icons in our stores and on the Let’s Dish! website as we “Go Red” in February. As Jeremy wrote yesterday, we’ve pledged to learn more about healthy living and do all we can to prevent heart disease.
And, we can do a lot - nutritious meals and heart-health awareness to thousands of families to start. We partnered with the American […]
February is American Heart Month. It’s an important time at Let’s Dish!, and of course, an important time at Food For Thought, the Let’s Dish! blog.
Heart disease is this country’s #1 killer, claiming over 900,000 American lives annually. Fortunately, and thanks in a large part to the great work of the American Heart Association (AHA), […]
