Swiss Chard and Sweet Pea Manicotti

Hold on to your seats people.  This recipe will take an interesting turn and end with creamy dreamy happiness.  Okay, okay.  In all seriousness, I found this recipe on the Food Network website because I got some swiss chard in my Bountiful Baskets Produce assortment one week a few months ago.  No, I didn't just make this recipe.  This comes from my archives aka...pictures and recipes I've forgotten about until now.

When I first saw the swiss chard, I was scared.  I won't lie.  I'd never tried it.  People were "saying things" about it that weren't too nice.  I decided to buck-up and find a recipe that looked and sounded good and use up this crazy ingredient.  What I found was this.  Swiss Chard and Sweet Pea Manicotti.  I am a forever changed woman.  No kidding.  Granted it's loaded with cheese cheese and more cheese, but it's not like I'm going to go buy swiss chard all the time and make this. We can definitely splurge once in a while with this one.  If you'd like to know more about swiss chard, go HERE.

If you're feeling in the mood for something fun and delicious and slightly different, then you're going to want to try out this recipe.  Don't let it intimidate you.  It really is VERY easy and kid-friendly.  I found all my ingredients at "Wal-martian", too.  See...EASY-PEAsey!!
