personal reviews for lets dish?

[Anonymous]

Thinking about doing their halves program (family of three) to make my life easier. Thoughts on their food from those of you who have used them?

We use the half programs for busy weeks. I read reviews on here and a lot of people looked down on it as not very good or worth it, but it works for us. FWIW I'm a TERRIBLE cook and when left to my own devices things are grim. So the weeks when we've done this have been a nice change of pace.

I think the food's pretty good. My sister assembles it for me, so I can't speak to that, but it's easy to make and there are relatively healthy options. She goes to the Alexandria location, FWIW.

Just learn to cook a few simple dishes yourself.

I've done it a few times and it was fine. Definitely convenient. But the food options weren't all that great and the ingredients didn't seem high-quality. So it was fine for a few convenient meals, but I wouldn't go sign up for it again on my own. Maybe split it with a friend if she pressured me into it again.

I should add that I do love to cook from scratch a lot so a lot of the prepackaged junk turned me off.

We did it when the kids were really young (twin infants/toddlers.) Most of the food was pretty good. It was fun and easy to assemble - but after several months we got tired of it. There are coupons floating around and think it is worth trying out.

Thanks everyone!

Healthy Bites is great option too, though a different model from let's dish. I received a week of meals from friends as a gift and loved it!

I like it. I don't pay the extra for the halves program. We do the split, where I just split the full portions into two while I assemble in the store and then if I haven't coordinated to share with a friend (which is the best choice so I get more variety) I just end up with two of each...

Their food looks awesome. But for a family of three it looks very expensive since each meal is only for one person

We have a Dinner Done near us, which I have used from time to time. I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the ingredients and the taste. I've used it for making a dinner party sized meal, where I made the sides and bought the main course from them. Worked out great and guests loved it.

So unbecoming of the Food forum
