Let’s Dish! brings the ease of cooking back to your table—so you can enjoy the moments that truly matter.

Welcome to Let’s Dish!, where your love for home-cooked meals meets the convenience of ready-to-cook perfection.

With over 20 years of Minnesota roots, co-founder and CEO Darcy Olson says that Let’s Dish! has evolved from its origin—which welcomed customers to participate in sessions to assemble their meals—into what it is today. With five locations across the Twin Cities—and now available at select Target locations—Let’s Dish! offers a wide selection of simple-to-cook meals made with fresh ingredients that can be easily stored in the freezer and prepared when you’re ready.

Kelly Kiwus, Plymouth resident, started using Let’s Dish! when it first opened. Now, as an empty-nester, Kiwus says Let’s Dish is still an integral part of her and her husband, Dave Kiwus’, mealtime. “Since it’s just my husband and I now, we shifted from 6 to 3 serving size, but still keep a few meals on hand for easy, low-key dinners,” Kelly Kiwus says. “Last year, when both our daughters-in-law were expecting, we gifted them Let’s Dish! gift cards. Our grandbabies (a girl and a boy) were born eight days apart! The Let’s Dish! gift cards were well received and a huge help when the babies came.”

That’s what Olson and the team like to hear. “For all the unpredictable things that happen in the world, it’s great to make dinner a sure thing,” Olson says. Plus, with a variety of options, including gluten- and dairy-free, vegetarian, low sodium and under 400 calories, there’s something for just about everyone.

“It’s ready to cook and ready when you are,” says Katie Suttenberg, chief operating officer. “Dinner happens 365 days a year, and our meals make your life so much easier so you can enjoy other things. You don’t have to have the stress and mental load every day of, ‘What’s for dinner tonight?’”

Whether you’re a professional, a parent on the go or simply someone who values quality meals, Let’s Dish! makes it easy to create delicious meals in the comfort of your kitchen. Favorites, such as Barbacoa Beef Burrito Bowls, Bourbon-Glazed Meatballs & Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Cheese Curd Crusted Chicken Ranch Bake, Crunchy Chicken Queso Bake, Indian Butter Chicken with Rice and Skillet Pot Roast, are available year-round. At the same time, seasonal items are added throughout the year. All options are available in serving sizes of three ($20) or six ($35).

Let’s Dish! prioritizes a successful shopping experience by inviting customers to shop online or in-store at any one of its welcoming locations, including Apple Valley, Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, Prior Lake and Woodbury. Additionally, the aforementioned favorites in serving size of three are available to shop at 25 Target locations. “We’re excited to bring a small selection of our quality family meals to the aisles of these select Target stores” Olson says. “These are meals made by our team, just like the wide selection of meals in our Let’s Dish! stores.”

For Olson, it’s all about providing that homemade happiness. “Life is so busy. We’re running around and doing so many things,” Olson says. “Sometimes that happiness and joy that we’re chasing is right there at home, and we like to make it easy to enjoy that.”

Kiwus shares that sentiment. “Life was hectic between working and kid activities,” Kiwus says about when she first started using Let’s Dish!. “I was able to have emergency dinners on hand that took little prep and did not have preservatives.” Now, she’s passing that down to the next generation. She adds, “My sons’ families still use Let’s Dish! a few times every month to help with their busy schedules.”
