One of the things about being a mom is you constantly question whether you’re good at the job or not. It’s like a daily appraisal of yourself in which you never get a raise, no matter how great you are at your job. I often wonder how I would rate if someone else were to give me an annual review…but then at the end of the day, I’m so exhausted that if they had anything critical to say I may go bat poop crazy on them. So, it’s best that this process doesn’t exist anywhere except on the playground by other judging moms that you may encounter. Ever critical of each little thing you do or do not do. Like letting your kids watch their favorite show on Netflix non-stop so you can get some work done. Or letting them wield a knife in the kitchen. 🙂

I try to get my kids to help in the kitchen as much as I can. I think they feel a sense of importance when they are given a small task like peeling an orange or crushing some crackers. Bonus points for a recipe where they are able to be involved for the entire cooking process. That’s how I created this recipe for our favorite Crispy Baked Goldfish Fish Sticks. They’re so easy to make my 5 year old son can make them himself. And he does. And he’s helped me out today to show you how.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound cod fillet, cut into 1 inch strips
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar Goldfish® crackers
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1 cup low-fat milk

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Pour the Goldfish® crackers in a zip top bag and crush with a mallet or rolling pin until a fine crumb forms. Place the crushed crackers in a pie plate or shallow bowl.
  • Place the flour in a pie plate or shallow bowl. Whisk in the salt and pepper, set aside. Place the milk in another shallow bowl and set aside.
  • Dredge the fish in the flour, then the milk and coat with the cracker crumbs. Place the coated fish on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray (I like to line my baking sheet with foil for easy clean up.) Repeat with the remaining fish. Transfer the fish to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Serve immediately.
