The Spend Smart. Eat Smart. recipe of the month for April is Baked Fish and Chips.  There are many reasons that I love this recipe.  Here are a few:

• It is lower in calories and fat than fish and chips from a restaurant.
  • Fast food fish and chips – 720 calories, 35 grams fat
  • Baked Fish and Chips – 410 calories, 7 grams fat
• It is less expensive than fish and chips from a restaurant.
  • Fast food fish and chips – $5.99 per serving
  • Baked Fish and Chips – $1.24 per serving
• It works with any kind of fish you have on hand or that you like.
• It is delicious – my family eats every last bite of this meal when I make it.

If, like me, you like tartar sauce with your fish, but do not want to buy an entire bottle – you can make your own.  Just mix two tablespoons of mayonnaise with two tablespoons of pickle relish.  You can adjust the amounts of mayo and relish to your tastes.

I hope you enjoy our April recipe – Baked Fish and Chips!
