I have spent the month of March not eating meat.  It is a thing that I am doing on another blog where I am giving something up each month - just for kicks. No meat eating isn't something I wish to continue but it's been a fun experiment and I got to try some new and unique recipes along the way.  I've been a real slacker at blogging them though so expect to see a few of them over the next few days.

In the above photo I was attempting to do what the recipe said and I diligently snipped the corner of the ziploc bag off to squeeze the filling gently into the manicotti.

10 minutes later amidst muttered curses and threats issued to the innocent looking plastic bag I tore the bag open and used a small long spoon instead.  The spoon resulted in a far more satisfactory experience.

This was good.  The kids weren't there to try this but Husband of Cheerios really loved this and I thought it was pretty good too.

Would I make it again? Hmm...probably but it wouldn't be something I would make often.  I know the kids would hate it.  :)
