My Meal Plan
When the afternoon comes, I do have some or most of my lunches right at home and this is written on the meal plan. Sometimes I make my own sandwich by putting in some cheese and meat like pepperoni and even some peanut butter and barbecue sauce. Anyone can come up with ideas for any sandwich. This was my own idea for my own sandwich and I make it right at home.
I do have a bigger bag for putting my lunch into so that I can take it to work over at the local cafe Friends every Wednesday and Thursday because I work there on these days.
My roommate always cooks dinner. I do rely on him to ask me to get my drink ready because I come out of my room and we eat dinner together every evening. After eating, I always help to fill the dishwasher and sometimes we run it. It is so very important that everything is clean, that is how to be so neat and very tidy when we are living in an apartment. Keeping things clean is part of really being independent in our own ways of our own lives.

Meal Preparation Skills
There are a lot of foods that I need some help to make like ribs, hamburgers, perogies, steak, fish and chips, and pizza.
I did a cooking class before when I was younger and then this year I took a cooking class with my friends at Ups N’ Downs through Food Impact.
I learned about kitchen safety, safety around hot stoves and hot pots, and how to chop things and cut things up. We learned how to make recipes like garlic knots, chicken, pulled pork tacos, soup, and triple berry crumble. This learning really helps me and can help me to be able to cook more in the long run.
