Pediatrician, Dr. Nimali Fernando, grew up in a Sri Lankan-American family where home-cooked meals were a tradition.  In 2014, she opened Yum Pediatrics, a nutrition-based practice in Virginia where she often prescribes recipes instead of pills.  The Doctor Yum Project provides resources for families looking for healthy, kid-tested recipes to begin their health journey. 

One of her favorite meals is Power Pasta. Try this recipe with your little chefs at home.
