Weeknight dinners are hard enough to make; getting your kids to eat fish is even harder. Entice toddlers—and older kids—with these fun fish sticks that are healthier than the fried versions and almost as fast. Tilapia works well instead of the recommended cod. Serve them with rice and a salad or make it a finger food night with sweet potato French fries. Courtesy of Taste of Home
