About Teaming Up

Freezer cooking and cooking with friends is what dinnercoach.com is all about. Over the past few months I’ve received questions about the distinction between Team Up methods. Here is a brief attempt to explain three ways the Team Up method is used.

Tips: Forming a Winning Team

1. Team Up to Tackle Dinner - (original method)
Team Up Tackle Dinner Approach is about how to assemble freezer meals with a small group of friends in a home. Cooks share the tasks of the planning, prepping, shopping and hosting the Team Up to Tackling Dinner cooking event. Some Teams cook once a month, seasonally or whenever their freezer cries, “Feed me.” Cooking in small teams allows people to tailor meals to their family size and preferences.

Team Up Variations

2. Team Up BIG - Co-Op
Team Up Freezer Cooking Co-Op is yet another way to fill your freezer with meals. A Co-Op works best with a large group of cooks, 5-25 cooks, and one Team Captain. The Team Captain plans the menu, shops, and oversees the meal assembly process the cooks will bring in exchange for her meals being paid for by the other cooks. It’s a great exchange. The more cooks involved the more savings per meal. There is much to talk about when organizing a co-op, and hopefully dinnercoach.com will have resources in the future.

3. Team Up - Parties
Teaming Up Parties appeal to cooks of all ages and food preferences. Simply pick a friend or friends, choose something to cook, and do it together. Team Up Parties especially work for mothers of young children. Children can be happily occupied for a few hours playing while moms fix that night's dinner plus a few for the freezer. Moms can rotate planning and hosting a freezer cooking party. The events are over in 2 to 2 ½ hours. Everyone goes home with food and memories of a fun morning.
