One of things that sure puts me in a better mood is yummy food. And this one is definitely yummy. I love manicotti and I usually make them with spinach and ricotta cheese. But this time, I did something different... one because I didn't have any frozen spinach... so I thought, how should I use manicotti without any frozen...
