If you are just starting to freezer cook, consider using already tested recipes from freezer cookbooks or freezer cooking web-sights. Usually their instructions are very specific about how to assemble the meal.   I find recipes in my favorite cookbooks, allrecipes.com and friend’s… MORE

What’s your favorite kitchen tool? Could it your rolling pin, measuring spoons or lemon zester?  Maybe you love your microwave best. Think of it this way. Your favorite tool could be your favorite because it was given to you by someone special. Maybe your favorite tool is your pick because MORE

Allrecipes.com has a wealth of freezer-friendly recipes. Recipe comments are so helpful. I always read to find out if someone’s tested freezing a recipe.   A few weeks ago I froze Rhubarb Sour Cream Pie. I baked it from frozen and it turned out better than the ones I baked before… MORE

About Me 
I am a stay-at-home mome who loves to cook. I don't have time everynight to cook so those nights I pull from my freezer. Freezer cooking more than a hobby for me, its a way of life. Team Up with my friends has helped so many manage meal time chaos that I started a web site to explain 'how to' and provide encouragement. ( www.dinnercoach.com ) My life is filled with my full-time job, raising three active boys who are 5, 3, and 2. They bring joy and meaning to my life. I can't imagine a more fulfilling role than being a mother. Good job to all who are investing their lives into raising the next generation. I also help my husband in his many endeavors.
My favorite things to cook
Anything with friends, pasta, asian, and sauces.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Preparing Thanksgiving Dinner with my mom and grandma.
My cooking triumphs
I've developed the Team Up cooking approach and launched www.dinnercoach.com.
My cooking tragedies
I'm always throwing things together. Sometimes it’s terrible and sometime it works out great. I did have a mishap a few weeks back. I was baking some muffins and the part of a pie I had cooked earlier overflowed to the bottom of the oven and was still there and started on fire. It took my mom, sister-in-law and I to put it out after some screaming. That was memorable.
