Homemade fish sticks


The kids are flopped on the couch watching cartoons, and I am heading off to make fish sticks for dinner.

I had an interesting meeting today with a woman who is spearheading school lunch reform. She made a documentary called
2 Angry Moms which shows the state of what our kids are consuming at school, it is truly frightening. We are hoping to collaborate cooking classes for moms to support healthier kids meals at home and at school. Check out the website, it's a worthy cause.

Here is the recipe for quick fish sticks:

2 pieces of Tilapia
¼ C. Canola or vegetable oil
1/2 C. egg white or 1 egg
½ C. Seasoned flour ( 3 parts flour to 1 part Lawry’s seasoning salt)
½ C. Panko bread crumbs
1 tsp. Garlic salt

Heat canola oil in a large nonstick pan on medium high heat. Rinse and slice tilapia into 1” long strips. In a bowl whisk egg. In a plate, combine panko, seasoned flour, and garlic salt. Dip fish into egg, then panko mixture and cook for 1 ½- 2 minutes per side.

Quick Tip- Serve with steamed broccoli, peas or green beans for a super fast, super healthy meal.
