OUR FOOD

At Making Thyme Kitchen everything we do is focused on preparing the freshest, healthiest, and best tasting foods for you to enjoy at home. We prepare the foods you would make if you had all the time in the world.

We make entrées – ready to cook, and heat and eat. We prepare side dishes and fresh salads. We roast vegetables, make pasties and a selection of fresh baked sweets. All made from scratch, all ready to-go.

Our menu of entrées changes monthly, and our deli case changes with the seasons. We make our sauces, marinades and stocks from scratch because often what we leave out is what matters most — extra salt, hidden sugars, additives like msg, and hidden fats.

SHOP LOCAL

By shopping at small local businesses like Making Thyme Kitchen, you keep us open and viable. Thank you for all your support, we wouldn’t be here without you.

OUR PLANET

We believe that all changes – big and small – move us in a positive and sustainable direction with the operation of our business.

So we:

Compost all of our organic waste. Over a year we keep 5,000-plus pounds of organic waste out of the landfill;

Recycle all of our paper, cardboard, packaging, and plastics. Our daily trash is down to one bag in the dumpster;

Use to-go product packaging that is rinse and recycle – paper containers without staples, 100% aluminum microwaveable tins, and plastic recyclable lids;

Buy local, organically grown, and certified organic ingredients when possible.

We take all the small steps we can to positively change our business practices. We are constantly looking for ways to improve, and we believe that small steps have a big impact.
