Poodle Noodles
(Name explained in the post😎)


In the heart of Chinatown, in Washington DC, we found this awesome Chinese restaurant. It made the most  delicious noodle dish. It was a combination of fresh made noodles, fried garlic, shredded vegetables tossed in a sesame oil  and topped with chili sauce. For less than $5 each we could get a HUGE bowl of this amazing noodle dish.

When we got home from our second vacation from Washington DC I decided to come up with my own version for the noodle dish. It was a hit. Whenever the girls requested the noodle dish my youngest girl (Who was obsessed with the Dr. Suess book "Fox in Socks") would say, 'Momma can you make some POODLE EATIN NOODLES'. This was her favorite page to read in the whole book and the name stuck.

It's an easy, quick, tasty recipe.

All you need is...



  • 1    Bottle of House of Tsang Peanut sauce
  • 1-2 Bags of Broccoli Slaw 
  • 1    Large Onion, thinly sliced
  • 2T  Sesame Oil  
  • 2-3 Chicken Breast, cooked and diced
  • 3-4    Garlic Cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1    Handful of Lightly Salted Peanuts
  • 4c  Cooked Thick Spagetti Pasta
I like to cook this in an electric skillet but it can be done on the stove top as well.

Place the sesame oil in a pan on medium high heat

Add the thinly sliced onion
After the onion has become translucent (about 3-4 minutes) Add garlic
Cook garlic 1 minute

Add the broccoli slaw, mixing well
Cover with a lid turn heat down to low, stirring occasionally

After slaw has softened add the sauce, diced chicken and pasta; warm through.  
Mix well and serve in a bowl topped with your favorite toppings. We like avocado and sriracha or chili sauce/oil.
That is it!  If you meal prep at the beginning of the week by baking up the chicken its even easier. I also like to precook the pasta. Just make sure to add a little olive oil to the pasta after rinsing so it doesn't stick together. 

Let me know if you make this. Post a picture with the #reallifewithlar. I love seeing your pictures and getting your feedback.

Until the next post take care of yourself and enjoy the rest of your week!

Fried chicken I've had many requests from friends and family for my fried chicken recipe.  On the rare occasions that we had left-overs, Smokin would bring some to work to share with his friends.  The guys would practically fight each other for some. The key to my fried chicken is bacon fat!! You don’t need a whole lot but you need enough to flavor the frying oil.  So as much as it may stink you’re going to have to cook up bacon to save the fat. (life’s tough all over ;) If you need help eating the bacon I can come on over)  Also, I use boneless skinless chicken breasts that I’ve cut into strips because I don’t like the dark meat. However, If you do like the dark meat then I suggest boneless chicken thighs (with or without the skin).   However, this is so good you'll never miss the skin.  Soak your chicken (about 3 pounds) for about 1-2 hours in buttermilk.  You can skip this part but it makes the chicken so tender and juicy. So just go for it! Time to

Hot Dogs!!! Everyone loves a good hotdog and everyone has their favorite way of topping a hotdog. I am going to give you our family's top 3. There really isn't a 'wrong' way to top your hotdog. It's all by personal preference BUT if you are looking to mix things up a bit here are a few  alternatives. Also, I want to add that a good, quality hot dog is key to having great flavor! The Classic Chili Cheese dog kicked up a notch ... Being from Southern California we love a little heat in our foods. So take your grilled hot dog and... Place thinly sliced jalapeño and finely chopped onion on the dog  Top with your favorite chili (my homemade chili is a favorite but we ate it already so canned it is).  Instead of shredded cheddar try shredded pepper jack.   Place under broiler for a couple minutes till cheese has melted. Keep a constant eye on it so the bun doesn't burn. This has so much flavor and a nice, spicy kick from the jal

Chicken Love Soup I love scooping the soup up with these chips! Is there anything better than a nice warm cup of soup?  I love soup on a cold winter day. Snuggled up on the couch, watching a good movie, and enjoying a delicious cup of soup is a bit of heaven of earth, in my opinion. Only thing that would make it more cozy is big fluffy snow flakes falling outside.   My foodie friend Robyn is the inspiration for this yummy warming soup. This is actually my all time favorite soup.  I have just tweaked it a little for my family, but I'll link her original recipe here... h ttp://housewifecooking.blogspot.com/2009/04/creamy-tortilla-soup.html Robyn's original recipe includes how she makes fresh tortilla strips.  I use the Garden of Eatin Red Hot Blue Corn Chips. Beware they are addicting.   Here's my spin on Chicken LOVE Soup... You will need... 3 Shallots, peeled and chopped 1 c Red Onion, diced 1 T. Vegetable Oil  4 15 oz.
