In this day and age, thinking “green” has transitioned from a “fresh idea” to a social responsibility. At Let’s Dish!, we do all we can to be “green” in our stores while facing some challenges that are common to small businesses and the food industry alike; our team will share more in future posts […]
Last week, we shared with you how important community involvement is to Let’s Dish! in our post, “Supporting our Community: One Dish at a Time,” as well as how you can request support for your own personal causes with our newly-expanded Fundraising Program.

It’s a fact that food is more expensive than ever these days. Yet, a Let’s Dish! meal comes in as low as $3.25 a serving when you dish yourself and make a bunch of healthy, delicious dinners to spare. And you make ‘em just the way you like ‘em. It’s a freezerful of convenience AND […]
I think it goes without saying that I love Let’s Dish!, and that I dish every month and can’t imagine my life without meals (and desserts) in my freezer. I’m young, married and super busy, so it’s a no-brainer.

Culinary Adventures aren’t limited to Let’s Dish!
As I sit at my computer contemplating all the many places I would like to visit in the next few years (naturally inspired by our culinary adventure menu this month at Let’s Dish!), I happened onto Epicurious’s website. I was delighted to see that they too have […]
Here’s a quick gadget recommendation from the Let’s Dish! “Gadget Gal,” Holly Cole:
Are you or someone you know having trouble with arthritis? Can’t grip your kitchen tools as you once could? Don’t worry - you’re not alone.
I get a new OXO gadget for myself every so often just to make life a little easier. […]
Who doesn’t love to throw a dinner party? But…no one wants all that work! Why not organize a Progressive Dinner Party?

We absolutely love Real Simple Magazine. It’s a good day when it arrives in the mail at my house each month. I suspect if I asked a random sampling of our Let’s Dish! customers and Food for Thought readers out there, thousands of you would say the same.
Just last week Real Simple […]
This month’s adventure isn’t just about international flavor! As a part of our Culinary Inspiration category, we’ll be discussing all sorts of topics for foodies (or those aspiring to be one) as cooking can be its own daily adventure.

So, you want to take your family on a risk-free culinary adventure - how do you begin?
Well, it’s no different than taking an actual trip … you don’t just find yourself at the destination. Before you go, you determine where you want to go, what sights you want to see, how you’re going to […]
This month at Let’s Dish! we decided to go on a “culinary adventure.”
Even at our mid-Atlantic headquarters this meant something different to each and every one of us. To me, it meant trying the latest thing from Timbuktu. To Alexa, it meant introducing a new flavor to her kids that they might not have yet […]
