Real or not, anything with melted cheese gets my attention!
Nice avatar, Laura, it's fun to see our cooking family even if it's only in pics. I'm going to go look for a picture right now.

I know the cheesy photo got my attention too. It is actually spinach/chicken manicotti, but I am sure mine will look just like this tonight!
