Mexican Manicotti

Good Morning Folks
Been at the Lake all week for some fun and fishing. The weather was great the first few days and then...a cold front came through and it was down hill after that.
Well we are going home today.. The wind is unbelievable and the water is non stop breaking over the banks. We rocked and rolled all night long to the strong winds. At least we got to fish a few days before the cold front came in. Only got 1 bad boo boo this tip. I was taking a catfish off my line and it dropped on my foot. Yep, you guessed it, one of the fins stuck me right in the main vein in my left foot. I bled like a stuck pig and hurt OMG for about 3 hours it was almost unbearable. That was early Wed and I still have a hard time walking, needless to say how soar it is. I have been fishing all my life and this is a first for me. I hope my foot doesn't fall off...LOL

We will be using our convection oven for todays recipe. A yummy Mexican twist to an Italian dish.
Enjoy and have a great day.
