Let's Dish - Apple Valley Location

Prepare Meals Ahead to Take Home to Your Family!

September 11, 2014
For a decade in the Twin Cities, Let's Dish! has revolutionized the way busy families put dinner on the table. And it’s not fast food — it's homemade food prepared with fresh ingredients. At Let’s Dish! stores, customers make delicious, freezer-ready meals themselves in-store, to take home and prepare when they’re needed. Or, customers may order meals online, using Dish-n-Dash, and let the staff pull them together for easy pickup. 

Meals are economically priced at less than $4 per serving, so families can afford to serve up 'real meals,' and be adventurous. Let's Dish! offers a new menu each month with 18 different options, so families can always try something new without having to scour grocery stores for rare ingredients or agonize over complicated recipes. Menu choices range from Cheesy Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas to Bourbon Glazed Meatballs with Garlic Mashed Potatoes, to Chicken Pad Thai, to Linguini Shrimp Scampi to Asian BBQ Pork Wraps. Customers can substitute ingredients to fit household tastes and dietary restrictions, whether they need to be heart-healthy, gluten-free, or kid-friendly options. 
 
Let’s Dish! is an easy option for busy families trying to pull together something nutritious for dinner, or a great way to gather friends or co-workers to make meals together with a fun (and productive) outing. Browse the menu at www.letsdish.com ahead of time and register online for an in-store dishing session, or order pre-prepared meals for pickup with Dish-n-Dash. Walk-ins may choose from pre-assembled meals in the retail freezer case.
