Today is national noodle day and everyone likes noodles. Here are a couple of recipes that are perfect for today and super easy to make. Along with these Two recipes you will also find a fun craft for the kids.
Because I work full time I am in love with my crockpot so the first recipe I would like to start with is an Italian crockpot dish I found on a website that my family gave ♥️♥️♥️♥️(4/5).

Ingredients:
1 onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1.25 pounds chicken tenders
salt and pepper (to taste)
25 oz marinara sauce (one jar)

2 bay leaves
1 lb pasta
Directions:
- Add diced onion, garlic, chicken breasts, cream cheese, marinara sauce, and some seasonings into a cold crockpot.**
- Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours. If your crockpot runs hot, you might want to check the chicken for doneness at 2 1/2 hours.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove, shred and return back to crockpot. At this point remove the bay leaves as well. Stir to melt cream cheese into sauce completely.
- Toss with freshly cooked pasta and serve.

Buy a few pool noodles, cut them in different sizes and wrap rubber bands around the entire stack.
Then, use your hot glue gun to create fake wax dripping down your candles and hot glue the flameless candles on the top of each pool noodle. After your finished with these steps, the it’s time to get the kids involved!
