Quick Healthy Dinner

This weekend was a busy one for us, and after being out all afternoon i had to think of a quick and healthy dinner. I had some salmon steaks in the freezer, so I sauteed them in a little olive oil, garlic, ginger and soy sauce. I boiled a whole head of cauliflower with 2 cloves of garlic. Once tender, I drained the water out and pureed the cauliflower with a little salt - it looked like mashed potatoes, and tasted very similar. We always have carrots and brocolli in the fridge, and some peas in the freezer. I diced the carrots and cooked them for a few minutes, and then threw in the brocolli and peas for a few minutes. This entire dinner took about 20 minutes - it was healthy and delicious, and someting that we all enjoyed. You just need to get creative with what's in your fridge.
Oh, and as a treat for the kids, i make popsicles out of the 'Arthurs' fresh smoothies. They contain banana puree, which gives the popsicles a soft bite. The kids LOVE them, and they are a decent option for the occasional treat.
