Manicotti

This was my first successful attempt at making real food when I was younger. I believe I was 16 when I first made this. I don't even know why I choose it, I hated spaghetti so who knows, but it sure is yummy. I still make it the same as I did  back then. I also still make it with corn bread I decided that is the only way I can have it. The sweet with the savory make an excellent combo.
