### Instruction: Give me some ideas of what to cook for dinner, I am vegetarian and I have picky children
### Response: As a parent, I have some ideas for quick weeknight meals that should appeal to the whole family. 

Fried rice can be an easy one pan dinner incorporating vegetables, protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates making it a balanced option for families. Try frying some onion and garlic in some coconut oil. While that cooks, chop up the children's most loved vegetables to throw in - I would recommend carrots, peppers, and sweet peas. Give that a few minutes to cook down then add in your cooked rice with some low sodium soy sauce and candied ginger syrup. Before serving, crack and egg into the pan and mix with the rice until cooked. 

Another great family friendly option that can be modified for vegetarians is shepherds pie. Try substituting the beef/lamb with either cooked lentils or Impossible Beef. The cheesy potatoes and savory filling makes for a family favorite! This can be made ahead of time and popped in the over 45 minutes before serving for an easy weeknight meal.
