Our Services
Our meal Prep schedule is currently full, but we can put you on a wait list.
Private Dining & In-Home Catering
Enjoy a meal made for your occasion, without spending the evening in the kitchen. Just In Thyme offers personal chef services for dinner parties, date nights, family celebrations, and special events in Castle Rock, Castle Pines, and the Denver Metro area.
Chef Rosemary McKenzie works with you to plan the menu, shops for ingredients, prepares the food in your home, and handles the kitchen cleanup. Whether you’re inviting friends over or celebrating an anniversary, you can sit down and enjoy the meal with everyone else.
Dinner Parties
A dinner party should be as enjoyable for the host as it is for the guests. We offer four- or five-course dinners prepared and served in your home, with a menu suited to your tastes and the occasion.
Chef Rosemary discusses your guests’ dietary needs, favorite foods, and preferred style of dining before suggesting menu options. You might want a relaxed evening with friends or a more formal celebration. We help you plan either.
Pricing is around $150 per person, depending on the number of courses and the menu selected. Contact us to discuss your guest count and receive a quote.
Weekly Meal Preparation
Let us take meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking off your weekly to-do list. Our in-home meal preparation service gives you meals made around your family’s preferences, ready to heat or finish and serve.
How It Works
- We prepare three to five meals during one weekly visit to your kitchen.
- You receive a custom meal plan a few days before the visit for approval.
- Dietary needs, preferences, and your feedback guide the menu.
- On-site preparation usually takes three to five hours, depending on the number of meals.
- Meals are labeled and stored, with instructions for each dish sent by email.
- We clean up the kitchen before leaving.
If you would like extra portions for lunch leftovers, we can prepare them without an additional labor charge. Grocery costs still apply.
Weekly Meal Prep Pricing
| Meals per week | Labor cost |
| 3 meals | $240 |
| 4 meals | $260 |
| 5 meals | $280 |
Groceries are charged separately. Labor pricing includes menu planning, driving, grocery shopping, preparation, and cleanup.
Beer and Wine Dinners
The right beer or wine can bring out something new in a dish. Our pairing dinners feature four or five courses planned around locally brewed beer or a selection of your favorite wines.
Chef Rosemary works with you to create a menu that brings the food and pairings together. It’s a lovely way to gather friends who enjoy trying new flavors or to celebrate with a few familiar favorites.
Contact us to discuss menu options and beverage arrangements.
Date Nights and Anniversary Celebrations
Stay in and make an occasion of it. Our four-course dinners for two give you a private dining experience at your own table, with the shopping, cooking, and cleanup taken care of.
Planning an anniversary celebration with friends or family? We can also help you create a menu for a larger gathering.
Appetizer and Hors d’Oeuvre Parties
For gatherings where guests would rather mingle than sit down to a full dinner, an appetizer menu is a good fit.
Choose a selection of small bites and finger foods suited to your occasion. We’ll help you plan the menu and discuss the serving arrangements for your space and guest count.
Buffet Catering
A buffet gives guests room to choose what they enjoy and keeps the gathering relaxed. Just In Thyme prepares menus with your choice of appetizers, entrées, and accompaniments for celebrations at home.
We provide serving boards, chafing dishes, and serving utensils. Clients provide plates and flatware. For larger gatherings, we recommend renting these items.
Contact us to discuss availability and capacity for your event.
Birthdays, Baby Showers, and Graduation Parties
Good food brings people together, whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, welcoming a baby, or congratulating a graduate.
We work with you to choose a menu and service style that suit the gathering, from a casual buffet to a plated dinner. Tell us about your plans, and we’ll help you decide what works best.
Holiday Parties
Enjoy the holiday gathering without taking on all the cooking. We prepare food for casual appetizer parties, family celebrations, and formal holiday dinners in your home.
Chef Rosemary helps you plan a menu around your traditions, preferences, and guests’ dietary needs. Get in touch early to discuss your preferred date.
