August 31 - Serving Pan Fried Flounder with Broccoli Slaw

I am pleased that my kids are appreciating more fish dishes than before. Also, they have added zucchini and eggplant as favorite veggies besides broccoli.

So tonight, I served pan fried flounder and broccoli slaw. I have not prepared the usual cabbage slaw at home but surprisingly, they did not shy away from the broccoli slaw. Secret ingredients must be the bacon bits and sugar :)
