What strategy could be used to find out if the food skills/techniques we teach them are being used in their daily life?I think the easiest way to find out if they have been using the techniques learned in the EAT sessions is to ask them questions in a group dynamic or one-on-one. I think the one-on-one will be better because some of the participants are a little shy so with that one-on-one time they will really feel more comfortable to open up more. Questions to ask: -Have you done any cooking lately? -What's your favorite activity to do in the kitchen? -Do you like cooking with your family? Our ProgramDuring this Cottage Crew session we did a food group activity where the participants had to draw a triangle and then divide it up int 4 different sections. afterward they would name the 4 food groups (fruits and veggies, grains, dairy, meats and alt.) and give a couple examples for each food group. Following the activity we advised them to wash their hands and proceeded to split them into 3 groups/station. the stations were 2 cutting stations and a spreading and can opening/draining station. the participants in my stations (spreading cream cheese) really enjoyed it because it was simple whilst also being interactive. The goal for that station was to spread the cream cheese close to the middle and make sure there would be enough for all of the tortilla wraps.

What was your favorite quote from one of the participants?On the second day of the E.A.T. program at Cottage Crew we made veggie wraps. We decided that putting them into groups was a better way of connecting one-on-one. The groups we had were grating cheese, cutting veggies and spinning the lettuce. At the beginning I had briefly done a demo on how to properly grate the cheese without the harm of cutting themselves. I made sure to say that you should always keep your fingers about 2 cm away from the edge of the grater. At my station (grating cheese) there was a little accident where on of the participants scraped the side of the finger on the grater. Although she had to get a band aid, she returned ready to try it again. At the beginning one kids was a little skeptical of having to eat the lettuce and cold cuts saying "I hardly eat chicken and lettuce but I'll try it". Yaaayyy!! In the end he ended up trying all the foods but had leftovers on his plate. Sad.
