So, I can’t bake, but I’m pretty good at cooking regular meals. And I’m obsessed with making sure my daughter gets enough protein. I can’t stand it when all she eats is Cherios and cat food off the floor. After a couple tries with frozen fish sticks (I actually tried organic Salmon Sticks with her and they are disgusting), I developed this easy recipe that your child can even help you prepare.
What You’ll Need
1 Fillet of Tilapia
Bread Crumbs
2 Tablespoons of Canola oil
Slice the tilapia like the photo to the right.
Pour some bread crumbs in a bowl.
Invite your toddler, who’s presently running around without pants and screaming at the cat, to come to the kitchen and cook with mommy.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Wash your child’s hands thoroughly because she’s 
probably touched the toilet more than few times today. Let her dip the sliced fish into the bread crumbs. I read somewhere on the Internet that giving toddlers little jobs to do makes them feel important and builds confidence, so don’t freak if she happens to spill the breadcrumbs.
Pop the fish sticks into the hot oil. Cook until they are golden on each side. Using tongs is best to flip the pieces of fish around in the oil as they fry. What, you don’t own a pair of cooking tongs? Seriously, they will change your fucking life. They make cooking really, really easy!
Anyway, keep frying for about 5-7 minutes tops. White fish cooks very quickly and if you
over do it, your kid might not notice, but they will taste more fishy…
Once the sticks are done, put them on a plate with a couple paper towels to sop up the extra oil, and then serve to your little hellion.
My little one wolfed down FIVE fish sticks. That’s some serious healthy shit for a toddler. Try it!
Those sound awesome. And I dig the photo of Josie with her hand in the bread crumbs.
