Freezer Cooking In a LARGE Group

In past blogs I've written about Team Up cooking. Usually I'm refering to a small group of friend who pick a few recipes, have fun cooking together and are able to stock their freezer with future dinners.  Team Up cooking is an excellent way to save time and money.

I wanted to take the opportuntiy to introduce to Allrecipe readers the Team Up BIG or Co-Op idea. These ladies attend my church.

Team Up BIG - Freezer Cooking Co-Op


Team Up Co-Op is a fun way to assemble meals with many cooks. Team Up BIG is different from the original Team Up to Tackle Dinner method in that a Co-Op empowers a Team Captian. A Team Captians plans, shops, and oversees the Teaming Up event. In exchange for her efforts the Team Co-Op cooks pay for her share of the food costs. Each participant  prepares their own meat and brings it to the Team Up event. All cooks bring a cooler with ice to take home their freezer meals. Everyone wins!

By the way, if I'm wrong, and this is not a Business, I apologize. I guess you or your website needs to explain it a tad better.

Sorry I annoy you. I don't have a business...I'm not making any money, in fact it cost me money to have a web-site. The reason it's called a business on facebook is that's the only way to get a space for a group of cooks to be able to talk. Sorry for being annoying, but I do hope the site is helpful to those who want to cook with friends.

Dinnercoach, Thank you for your valuable information lesson in humility. You handled CindyLepp with much more grace than I would have.

Dinnercoach, I love your concept of freezer cooking and doing it as a team. I think it is wonderful that you all get together and create meals. Everyone in your photo looks so pleased. It's hard to find a great group of women who all enjoy the same thing and more importantly one another's company. Keep up the good work. And don't mind those that can't mind their manners. Acceptance is difficult for some people, but perhaps CindyLepp was just having a bad day. Hopefully your explanation will clear things up with her.

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.
