My kids are not fans of fish. That still doesn’t keep me from serving them twice a week for dinner. Fish are a great lean protein and source of the fats that make your heart happy, omega-3 fatty acids. To help bring my kids from the land of “I don’t like fish” to the land of “I like fish”, tonight, I made fish sticks for dinner. The breading, size, and ability to pick them up with their fingers for dipping, make these kid-friendly. This homemade version is also much healthier than the frozen fish sticks found in the grocery store. And, the sticks were pretty quick to prepare and easy enough that my 8 year old was able to do it all by herself.
Tonight’s dinner:
Tossed salad – spinach, carrots, red bell pepper, and fresh dill
Sliced plums
Girl Scout cookie
