We’ve told you how much Let’s Dish! saves you over dining out, but did you realize that Let’s Dish! can be more affordable than shopping and cooking on your own? Add the time you save (and it’s more than a “dash”) and you’ve got to seriously rethink cooking from scratch!
If you’ve grocery shopped lately, you […]

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 […]
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)!

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.
However, my friends haven’t managed to get into the same groove. A majority of them are single, […]

I hope you’re enjoying the culinary adventures brought to you this month by Let’s Dish!.  Today we continue our noodle adventures!
Last week, we began our focus on noodles around the world with a post on spaetzle, German noodles.  Today, we move on to Asian Noodles, which are by far the most popular. They have many kinds… so, why […]
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?

The Germans call their noodles spaetzle.
Spaetzle is a very popular side dish in Germany which is surprisingly almost never offered in the United […]
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 […]
First, say hello to Holly Wildberger - or Holly “Dub” as we like to call her - the food team Development Coordinator for the Let’s Dish! stores in the Mid-Atlantic. Holly W is the woman behind many of the recipes you enjoy on our monthly menu and a key ingredient in the […]
