Our Food
At Making Thyme Kitchen we look for entrées from a wide variety of ethnic origins, with a wide variety of flavors -- Creole Jambalaya, Lebanese Spinach Pie, Mexican Flank Steak with Salsa Verde, Asian Beef Satay, American Macaroni and Cheese -- to name a few. We pick twelve entrées for each menu so that you have a wide variety to choose from every month.
The freshest and best quality ingredients go into our entrées. 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. We use whole fresh foods from local sources whenever possible: dried beans from Howard City, Kozee's Cream-Nut Peanut Butter, Sobie Meats in Walker, flour from Lowell and of course fresh Michigan produce in season.
We work with lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, nuts, whole grains, legumes and lowfat dairy.
Special Requests
Want Vegetarian or need Gluten Free - we'll modify our ingredients. Contact us to discuss what we can do. There may be an additional charge for substituting ingredients.
Recipes
We start with recipes from many different sources. We test them for
taste, texture, availability of ingredients and interest. We try them
fresh, then we try them frozen. We test them on friends, family and
current customers and tweak what ever is necessary to get the final
stamp of approval.
Ingredients
We work closely with local resources to find the freshest, high-quality
ingredients available for our recipes. We look for hidden sugars, fats
and salt, and often decide to make our ingredients from scratch. We
start with whole foods whenever possible, and hand pick our produce.
PRICING, ORDERING AND SHOPPING
Delivery and Pickup Packages
Our menu changes monthly. Each month we have 8 entrées and 4 sides for you to choose from. For pre-ordered delivered packages, you choose
eight items from the menu and the serving size that works best for
you. The same is true for pre-ordered pickup packages.
1. Eight single-serving entrées: $60 (eight total servings)
2. Eight double-serving entrées: $115 (sixteen total servings)
3. Eight entrées of three servings: $170 (twenty-four total servings)
4. Eight entrées of four servings: $220 (thirty-two total servings).
You may choose a sampling of meals or eight of the same, as long as you
end up with a total of eight entrées. One exception are items marked
premium - you may only select one of each premium entrée per order. Shop Our Store Our kitchen and retail store are located at 962 Cherry Street SE, 1/2 block west of Diamond in the East Hills Shopping District. We have a selection of fresh and frozen ready to cook entrées, sides and soups, fresh salads, and desserts. You can buy one thing or fill your bag. Store hours are Monday thru Friday 10am - 6pm.
PackagingEvery
entrée is packaged in an easy to store freezer bag or foil cooking pan.
Each entrée is labeled with clear cooking directions, an ingredient
list, the date it was made, our contact information and serving
suggestions.
Defrosting Entrées
Our foil pans are aluminum, and you can defrost them in the microwave. (We didn't believe this either, until we tried it, and there were no sparks). There are three things to consider when microwaving aluminum pans: first, make sure that the microwave was manufactured after 1984; second, verify that the pans are 100% aluminum – ours are; and third, place the pan in the microwave without it touching the walls of the oven and remove the plastic cover.

Making Thyme has become a part of our lives! We plan our meals with them monthly and then forget about it. They just arrive, fresh and convenient, and we pop them in the oven (or the freezer for later). No more trying to rush home and figure out what to cook for dinner (and much fewer trips to the grocery store). The food is free of preservatives and additivies, just fresh ingredients of REAL food and spices...something I would make in my own kitchen if I had the time.
K.E., East Grand Rapids
