Basic Kneads has been around since 1992. We’ve been cooking fresh foods in this area since January of 2002, and have won trophies and ribbons every year since then. We have been doing a lot of corporate catering as of late, feeding hungry folks in board meetings, classes, and luncheons. Rhea is the resident Chef at Dromore Manor, a house caterer for Head Start, U of I Research Park, Mountain West Bank, Old Castle Materials, Inland Imaging, Community 1st Bank & Day Pharmaceuticals ~ just to mention a few. We have a nice handful of long-term & loyal private and corporate clients. Basic Kneads currently cooks weeknight meals for 8 to 12 families: some of which are enjoying successful weight management with delicious customized menus, others prefer to eat fresh & flavorful food of any type, and the rest just prefer true comfort food made from scratch. Event catering is a distinct pleasure of ours. You can find references and letters of recommendation within this website. Unlike any of our competitors, everything at Basic Kneads is made from scratch using quality ingredients from local purveyors, resulting in fresh tasting food that stands out. Nowhere else (aside from your kitchen) can you get homemade breads, entrees, salad dressings and desserts. There are no set menus at Basic Kneads, as all foods are customized to personal tastes, monetary budgets and specific diets. Many of the herbs and vegetables we use come from our ORGANIC garden. When we take on a new family, the first step is to fill out a Family Profile which takes about 10 minutes on the phone. It’s a list of about 25 different ingredients that tells me what you and your family members like to eat and what you don’t ~ any dietary restrictions or allergies and preferences. The Family Profile insures that you don’t get foods you don’t like to eat. There's a new menu every week based on your Profile. All entrees are labeled and have cooking directions printed on the containers. Most dinners go into the fridge (a few can be frozen) and will last 5-7 days in the fridge. Depending on the food, we cook them to the appropriate stage, so that when you re-heat or cook them, the food is fresh and not overdone. The cooking directions can be altered to accommodate your reheat preferences; some of my older clients like to use the microwave only, others are comfortable with the oven, stove and BBQ. The cost of an adult 3-course dinner (meat, starch & vegetable) is $9. Lunches are generally $4 to $8, and breakfasts vary. Child pricing varies from nothing to $7 based on age. We also make fresh breads (.95), Loaded Salad Kits ($2.75), and desserts (.50 to $3) every week ~ for those that are interested. We have a minimum order of 2-3 dinners per person per week depending on how close you are to Post Falls. For example clients in Sandpoint or Spokane would be the 3 meals per person per week; Post Falls, CDA or Hayden is 2. There is a nominal delivery fee based on your location & 6% tax ~ if you’re in Idaho. If you like good fresh food ~ we’d like to cook for you! Yours in good taste, Rhea Skinner, Basic Kneads
