2day's recipe: Creamy Chicken Tetrazzini

Well, it is raining like crazy here (which is a great thing) and I think it would be nice to have some comfort food.  I don't know about you, but I go through different phases of what I define as my "comfort food".  Lately, it has been all about mac n cheese or creamy pastas.  OMG!  YUM!  So, here is one of our family favorites and it is very kid friendly. 
Enjoy friends :-)
