Senem's Easy Menu Blog

Hi. Here are my new ideas for a tasty menu.

First, I've got some snacks. I love fruits.

After that, I've got patatoes with cream for the starter (an idea from my mother).

Next is the main course. Today it's chicken. I love making these. They taste great.

Finally, my favourite, dessert! There're strawberries and bananas with whipped cream. I like this because there aren't many ingredients and it's easy to make. Just cut some fruits and mix with whipped cream. Mmm! Delicious!

Enjoy your meal! And join me next month for another easy menu.
