We spent all weekend going back and forth to the hospital as our 17 month old daughter Matea who has had a bad cough the last little while has come down with a lung infection and an infection in both ears!

I even have a touch of it myself but I am a big boy so I can handle it…

Thankfully she is now on a stronger antibiotic that is doing the trick as she is feeling better already.

So when family and life gets in the way, eating well don’t have to take a back seat if you have some tasty tricks up your sleeve.

Here is another nutrient dense meal that is great for dinner or refueling after your Dad Fitness workouts.

It’s also easy to prepare and tastes even better the next day when it soaks up all the flavors.

Trust me, you will be looking forward to the leftovers!
