Healthy Meals Made Easy
Monday May 7, 2007
A couple of years ago I was meandering through a very large shopping mall, and I noticed a small store where customers were making meals that they would be taking home to cook later. Since that day, I have seen a few similar meal preparation stores pop up in malls here and there. A few weeks ago I came across a website for Let's Dish! and I decided that it might be fun to learn more about a meal preparation company. What a great concept. You go to the store, prepare several delicious meals with fresh ingredients, take the meals home to cook or freeze for later. What do I love best about this? Read my review of Let's Dish!

I just wanted to write to thank Shereen for writing about Let’s Dish! and helping more folks to find out about this really healthy way to make dinner. As a long-time customer of Let’s Dish! (they’ve been in this area for two years now), I think it’s great to see someone write about Let’s Dish! in the context of Nutrition and health - sure, it’s super easy and convenient which is why I first started dishing, but after months of making meals at Let’s Dish!, now it’s that their dishes are healthy AND easy that’s keeping me going back.
I live in Washington DC so I’ve been to Let’s Dish! in Maryland and northern VA and I find that they truly help me (a working mom) feel confident i’m providing healthy meals for my family (husband and two young daughters). let’s Dish! always has choices of heart healthy meals on the menu each month and ALL their dinners are trans fat free. Even more important to me (I’m kind of a finicky cook) is that I like that the ingredients are fresh (not frozen like some companies in this area use) and I always get to make my sauces there (the bottled stuff is where the unhealthy factors always come in). It really is what I would make - if I only had the time - and the value is great too.
I live in a big city where take out options lurk on every corner and try to lure us in - but I’m such a believer that now I use the Let’s Dish! pick up option and find it’s just as convenient - but way more healthy for me and my family.
This is a great About.com post - and really practical for folks like me. Thanks again!
