Baked Salmon with Spinach Potato Cake

Daily Tidbit:  I just picked up a copy of the CarbLover's Diet Cookbook  at the library yesterday.  Though I am not a big supporter of structured diets like these, I wanted to flip through in hopes of getting inspired to try some new meals.  To my surprise lots of things I already prepare were listed, but I did get some new ideas, such as using Grated Potato in meals, which I did tonight with the Spinach Potato Cake (pictured above).   Potatoes are Low Cal & High Fiber.  Here are 6 more reasons to eat them:
