Now that the weather is appropriately fall-like, it's time to drag out the Crock Pot and feast on the hardy foods that help us bulk up for the long winter ahead.

Ok, maybe that isn't necessarily a good thing, but, if you- like me- love fall foods, here is the place to share your recipes.

This one is my all-time favorite:

Chicken Tettrazini

Ingredients

• 2-3 cups diced, cooked chicken (turkey also works)
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup milk or white wine
• 1 can cream soup (chicken, mushroom, celery, etc.)
• salt and pepper to taste
• puff pastry shells

Directions

Put everything except the pastry shells in a Crock Pot. Season with salt and pepper. Let simmer on low all day.

About a half hour prior to eating, prepare pastry shells as directed.

If desired, thicken up tettrazini before serving with a mixture of corn starch and water.

When pastry shells are done, spoon out center of shells and spoon in chicken tettrazini.

Enjoy.
