It has a been a busy time for the owners of Kickin’ Thyme Catering since starting up their business in March of this year.
The catering company is owned and operated by Nikki Morrison and Elyse Ramstad, great friends who made the decision to become business partners.
“We have known each other for 12 years. We used to work together in many different places and this just seemed to be a good time to start a business like this,” Morrison said.
With more than 30 years of cooking experience between them they feel like they have something special to offer people.
“I have been cooking my entire life in one way or another. We both worked for places where we had the chance to gather a lot of on-site fine-dining experience from a lot of top chefs and bakers,” Ramstad said.
“We totally knew what we were getting into. We knew each other’s strong points and how we could work together,” Morrison said.
Even though they spend a great deal of time together, the pair said they continue to enjoy each other’s company which is important in business.
“Our friendship has been built over the years of working together and we still manage to want to take time off together as well,” Ramstad said.
Since starting the business things have been getting busier as the months have passed.
“It has gone well since then. We have lots of weddings and other events booked for next year already,” Ramstad said. “We have complete control over what we are doing. We enjoy working with the customers and make as cool a menu as we can. Every menu is suited to each client.”
The pair are willing to cater private meals for as few as two people, and will also cater weddings for a few hundred people.
“The other thing we do is we run a weekly meal on Mondays that is a delivery service. We put out a new menu on Tuesdays and then people can order through email or on our Facebook site. We then deliver the dinner on Mondays,” Ramstad said.
The meals can either be for one or two person size for $15, up to a family size for $30.
