Easiest Fish Sticks
Let's talk about eating fast food... Who doesn't like french fries or a super tasty burger from one of the big restaurant chains? We all know eating fast food is flavorful, convenient and cheap. I have heard people saying that it is cheaper to eat at one of this restaurants than buying food in the store, which isn't true because vegetables are fairly inexpensive (we will talk about this soon). When I hear this kind of comments I wonder: have you ever ask or research what eating fast food can do to your body?
Here is a list of the effects that eating fast, highly processed, packed with carbs, unhealthy fat and sodium food can cause.
Increase risk of obesity
increases blood sugar levels
Increase risk of heart decease
Impact brain function and memory
Cause skin issues like acne
Cavities in your teeth
Anxiety and depression
hyperactivity
Constipation
Liver disease
Osteoporosis
Cancer
Just to name some I can remember while writing, without further investigating.
Are you ready to cook super healthy fish sticks at home?

0.4 Lbs. White fish of your choice

1 Cup organic steel cut oats
1/4 Cup Parmesan cheese
1 Eggs
1/2 Lemon

Slice the fish into long strips or "nugget" shape pieces of 1/4 inch thick
Season the fish with salt and pepper to taste
Place the flour into a bowl or containes
Beat the eggs and set aside
Cut the dill very small
Mix the out with the Parmesan cheese and the dill
Take each piece of fish and coat with flour, deep in the egg, and the the oats gently pressing the oat mix into the fish

Tips, variations & more:
Always use a firm-flesh fish
you can use any kind of oats you have available or substitute them with bread crumbs
An easy way to make bread crumbs is by toasting your multi grain bread and just crumble it on the food processor
You can also bake the sticks in the oven, at 400 F degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes
You can serve with yogurt-tahini sauce, or any healthy sauce you have handy
