6. Write down the recipe for your favorite meal.
Recently, my boyfriend and I found a recipe for cheese bread. We both love it! It contains a 1.3/4 cup of muffin mix, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of whole milk, 1/4 cup of butter and 1 cup of shredded cheese ( I like to use cheddar). Mix everything together, put in the oven for 25-27 minutes, and it’s ready. I also like to add some herbs on top of the bread.
