Thyme Saver Meals

At Thyme Saver, we started with a simple idea: to provide people with delicious and healthy meals that they can enjoy at home. Our founder, a busy professional herself, understands how challenging it can be to try to balance work, family, and personal time while preparing healthy homemade meals and realized that many others face the same struggle. At Thyme Saver, we understand the value of family and know how busy day to day life can get. Our goal is to help people create an effortless meal option, so they can spend more intentional time focused on what they want and less time worrying about what's for dinner.

Chef Elizabeth

Chef Elizabeth's culinary journey began in her hometown of Wichita, Kansas, where her love for cooking ignited at a young age, nurtured by the joy of sharing food with loved ones. This passion led her to Denver, Colorado, where she pursued her culinary and nutrition education at Johnson & Wales University. There, she continued to be fueled by the intimate connection with people and food, giving them the chance to have delicious, stress-free meals at their own dinner tables with their loved ones.

In 2014, Elizabeth founded Thyme Saver, initially as a high-end, in-home private chef service. However, in 2018 her dedication to make wholesome meals more accessible for people led her to evolve Thyme Saver into the delivery service it is today. By infusing Thyme Saver with a family-centered approach, Elizabeth prioritizes the care and satisfaction of each customer served.

In her downtime, Elizabeth, her husband Jared, and their beloved dog Chai savor adventures exploring St. Pete, boating, and embarking on new experiences together. With a passion for travel and cultural exploration, Chef Elizabeth loves discovering new foods and immersing herself in diverse culinary experiences.
