One of the menus I often cook for dinner or sometimes for lunch is Chicken & mushrooms Macaroni Gratin. Depending on my mood, sometimes I use rice instead of macaroni for only mine.

Recently I’ve been repeating to cook these apple cinnamon muffins and blueberry muffins for my husband’s breakfast menu, because he said he always enjoys these two types of muffins.
