CHICKEN VERMICELLI
This recipe comes from Holly Clegg's Trim and Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals. This actually turned out to be a much lighter version of a family favorite that used a whole stick of butter! Comfort type food that can be made ahead for a quick meal! You can use leftover chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken from your local deli. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup roasted red peppers which we omitted for family preference. Mushrooms would be a nice addition!

CHICKEN TETRAZZINI CASSEROLE
I picked up a copy of Southern Living's Comfort Foods Recipe magazine at the grocery store. I decided to try their Chicken Tetrazzini. I haven't had this since I was a kid and forgot all about it! This recipe makes 2 casseroles. One to prepare immediately and one to freeze for later! After serving to my family I asked the BIG question...."Should I make this again sometime?" I received two overwhelming YES's from my kids, and one "yeah, ok" from my husband. I'd say that this recipe is a keeper! I served it with fresh bakery bread.
