Note- This meal came from a freezer cookbook. You can make extra of these and keep them in the freezer. I do not freeze the pasta in the sauce, only freeze the sauce & chicken itself. When preparing this, just toss everything into a freezer bag and label it. To prepare- unthaw it and pour into a 9×13″ pan. Then add dry pasta to the sauce.

Penne with Rosemary Chicken

1 pound diced cooked chicken
1 pound penne pasta (can sub with any short pasta, should penne not be available)
1 cup low-fat shredded cheese blend
1 tbsp dried rosemary
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cups nonfat milk
1 1/2, 15 ounce cans of cream of mushroom soup

Preheat ovent o 350. Place everything into a baking dish and cover with the foil. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Or, place in a slow cooker set on low heat for five to six hours.

Note- Aldi may/may not have yeast at their stores. If they do not, you will need to purchase this at another store. I suggest buying your yeast in bulk from your local wholesale club. It will be cheapest there, and you will always have it. I store our yeast in a jar in the fridge.

Yeast Waffles

Mix all ingredients together, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Warm waffle iron and spray with non-stick spray. If batter is too thick, use milk to thin down.*Keep water warm- if too hot it will kill the yeast. Serve with orange juice & turkey bacon.
