Very tasty! I will definitely use this recipe again. Way easier than original manicotti and yet just as delicious. All 9 of my guests loved them too. However, I do think the measurements for the crepes might be off. I added a lot more milk and an extra egg as the original mixture seemed very thick and pasty - pretty much impossible to pour.

We have 2 little boys that keep us very busy. Many recipes I save are fast and easy:) I love to cook though, so I'm always looking for new recipes, including recipes that take time. LOVE this website! I love to cook, read, write and spend time with my family. We love the outdoors, including the winter when we get tons of snow. We're also owners of a coffee/icecream/gift/deli shoppe. We live in a tourist town surrounded by many lakes. Taste Of Home magazine is a favorite of mine and now recipezaar is a favorite too.
