Clean Cooking Adventures: Handmade Fish Sticks and Chicken/Broccoli Pasta
About the Author
I'm trying to minimize the number of "new" experiences that are restaurants and with being in Orlando for a couple of weeks I've attempted to cook a few new things. As you may remember from past posts, cooking just isn't my thing (at least its not my favorite) and oftentimes isn't very promising (Miso Soup anyone?!). This time I made two new "clean" recipes that were from Tosca Reno's "Eat Clean for Family & Kids" book (though modified due to my dairy allergy): Fish Sticks and Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli. These may be basic recipes for some people, but it was a first for me to make them.
The Fish Sticks were actually quite easy and delicious. Most commercially available fish sticks are breaded with dangerous trans fats and are just filled with terrible things. These are hand breaded and super high in protein and fiber. I wasn't a huge fan of fish sticks growing up, but adore fish as an adult. These things are yummy! It's a great quick clean way to make this popular kids meal without all the sugar and fat. I use agave sweetened ketchup (Wholefoods) so the entire thing is sugar free.
The Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli was also fairly easy. I used the Ezechiel whole grain penne pasta so its chock full of fiber and protein. In addition to broccoli this pasta also calls for peas and lots of delicious seasonings and herbs. Another great recipe for kids that is healthy but also yummy.
So this adventure turned out quite well... guess I'm getting some use out of my cute ruffly aprons afterall. If you want these recipes, just let me know and I can send them to you. Super easy and delicious!
