Everyone should be able to make some simple meals.  If you are new to the kitchen, start with meals that involve little cooking (i.e. salads, sandwiches), and/or that don’t have a lot of ingredients.  Take a cooking class to gain confidence.  Watch instructional videos (cooking shows, Youtube videos, etc.).  Order from a meal kit service if you aren’t sure what to buy.  If possible, make extra and freeze or save your leftovers for the next day.
