Q. What is the best way to thaw my meals?
All meals should be placed in your refrigerator to thaw throughly prior to cooking. Depending on the size of the entree this could take 36-48 hours or more. Due to bacteria and spoilage we do not recommend letting the meals thaw at room temperature. We also do not recommend the use of a microwave for thawing your meals due to container issue and- compromised food results.

Meals without seafood can be stored completely thawed for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. All completely thawed seafood dishes should be stored no longer than 24 hours before cooking.

To keep the meals at their best possible results, we recommend no longer than 2 months.

Sure, just let us know in the comment area if you would like to leave out or substitute a particular ingredient in your meal choices. If you would like to omit the meat from a dish, you may substitute any vegetable or starch that is available that month. Chicken can be substituted for any meat in our recipes by just letting us know ahead and tell us so we have enough chicken for your meals.
Q. Can I use Meal Thyme Solutions Meals if I have a food allergy?
Because of the variety of recipes that we have available every month, and the fact that clients are constantly moving to a different work station, we cannot guarantee the transfer of allergy related foods.
