Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Investigator-Designed Cooking Skills Questionnaire - Change from Baseline to 6 months6 months

Responses to individual questions will be tracked throughout the intervention in order to evaluate basic cooking skills and knowledge of nutrition that can be used to prepare healthy meals and follow recipes.
