“On a typical weeknight in my house with two toddlers, one puppy and no extra time, dinner has to be fast, fiber-rich and something my kids will actually eat,” Pasricha said. So, she’s mastered the art of the nutritious meal that takes fewer than 45 minutes and costs approximately $20 for a family of four.
