MEMBER TIPS
Speaking of the wisdom of our members ⌠here are 10 tips from them to you to help you get started.
Start slow -- especially if your family isnât 100% on board. Maybe choose 1 Core and 1 Reinvention to start. Use that Core like a side dish to other foods you know your family likes. Then make the Reinvention with leftovers of the Core later in the week.Â
Give your family time to adapt by working CTS recipes in slowly, rather than all at once. And get them involved in choosing what goes on the Meal Mapper! The more invested they become in Cook the Seasons, the smoother the transition will be.Â
âItâs the best ever. My family has loved everything.âÂ

If youâre nervous about cooking all the veggies, start with ones youâre already somewhat comfortable with and then stretch yourself from there once youâve gained some confidence. And definitely consider signing up for the Real Food Reset!
This really will become second nature!Â
Donât expect to get a weekâs worth of meals done in 60 minutes unless youâve worked in a kitchen professionally. Give yourself several hours. Once youâre familiar with the recipes, techniques, and ways to optimize, youâll get faster.
âThis program really is the best thing out there for busy people. Itâs better quality food than freezer cooking, itâs fresher and more environmentally friendly than shipped premade meals or meal kits, and itâs less stressful than trying to cook on weeknights. The recipes are delicious and healthy and can be tailored to any dietary restriction. You wonât regret this!â

Itâs not all or nothing. Did your partner eat your leftover chicken during a midnight snack leaving no protein for dinner tonight? Itâs okay to grab a rotisserie chicken on your way home. Are you coming down with the flu and donât feel up to grilling the fish needed to pull together tonightâs dinner? Itâs okay to get dinner delivered. You can always pick back up tomorrow - or even next week!
CTS works well cooking for one.. start small & ease into it. Pick 2 Cores w/2 Reinventions.
Liaâs estimates on how long food keeps are conservative. (I imagine to avoid disgruntled people!) Use fresh, local ingredients and keep a cold fridge, and food will last twice as long as the âkeeps forâ estimates.
âTry everything, and prepare for leftovers! And share! I canât wait to introduce the seasonâs veggies to my clients.â ~ Jenniferâ
Hint for doing your Meal Mapper and shopping list for one or two people--once you get the MM set, scale each core recipe back to ONE before creating your shopping list. You don't need to double a core recipe to have enough for the RI.
Since I am only cooking for two most of the time, I like to take the dishes that freeze well and freeze them in individual portions. Something like Lia's carnitas freeze well, so you can cook the recipe then pre-portion in the amounts you want.
Above all, have fun ... I can't wait to see you in Cook the Seasons!
