Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.


6 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
6 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup half and half
2 cups diced potatoes, blanched
1 cup diced carrots, blanched
1 cup sweet peas
2 cups shredded chicken, cooked
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 recipe basic savory pie crust
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 9 by 2-inch square baking pan.
In a large saute pan, melt the butter. Add the onions and celery and saute for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the flour and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes for a blond roux. Stir in the chicken stock and bring the liquid up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and continue to cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
Stir in the half and half and continue to cook for 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the potatoes, carrots, peas and chicken. Mix the filling thoroughly.
Line the baking pan with one of the crusts. Pour the filling into the prepared pan. Place the top crust on top of the filling. Carefully tuck the overlapping crust into the pan, forming a thick edge. Crimp the edges of the pan and place on a baking sheet. Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I received this dish after having my baby, and have made it so many times since. Delish!! One question: what do YOU do with the parsley?

I used pre-made crust as top and bottom, and I also add a small can of cream of chicken soup. Makes the filling a bit thicker, it's delicious!

This is one of my favorite recipes. At any potluck I attend, I get requests to bring this dish. You can even be healthier by substituting olive oil for butter and by using nonfat half and half.
