Then there’s the problem of microwave blasts directly contributing to the production of carcinogenic toxins. To minimize microwave risks, don’t use it to cook or warm these 10 foods."

"It's hard to believe this cozy, flavorful company chicken recipe calls for just 10 ingredients. A little pouch of Italian dressing mix coats the chicken in flavor, while tender mushrooms absorb the flavors of a well-balanced, aromatic, slightly tangy wine sauce.
The piece de resistance is heavy cream, which adds a velvety texture to the simple wine sauce, making for a company-pleasing dish every time." Comment from Southern Living
I'm glad to have another chicken recipe that looks like a winner!

We consulted food professionals to find out how to keep the bagged leaves fresh long enough to reach your plate." Comment from Martha Stewart.com
While I understand that buying bagged greens don't stay fresh, I buy enough to know when I will be consuming them. But I will take some of the advise in the article. I must admit that it is a very frustrating thing.

"This manicotti recipe makes a comforting dinner your family will love. The kids like to help stuff the noodles too! Delicious served with a crispy salad and garlic bread." Comment from All Recipes
Manicotti is a delicious meal and I have not made it in years. This semi-homemade recipe looks easy to make since jarred sauce is used. In my opinion, the hardest part is stuffing the pasta with the cheese mixture. Just use the smallest spoon you can find!
