Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad

October 11, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hello, hello!

Happy Friday to you!! Today I have another quick meal that can be made in less than 10 minutes!  It’s so simple, yet so tasty and it’s so Fall season.  Since I am running out of time, with deadlines to meet, not only is this meal quick, so is this post!  🙂  So let me share with you my wonderful Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad.
Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad
This salad is healthy, loaded with flavor and I love it! It’s made with mixed salad greens, chicken, apples, grapes, sweet potato, cranberries and goat cheese. Oh yum!! Funny, when I made the sweet potato, I peeled it and it was white on the inside. I saw the dark color of the skin and I know the darker the skin the sweeter it tastes. However, I guess I grabbed a Chinese sweet potato because of the white color. It still tasted good, so don’t let the photos fool you, the white in the salad are my taters! 🙂
Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad
Since we are talking sweet potatoes, let me share with you my cooking shortcut. I peeled my potato, cut it into bite size pieces, place in a small bowl, covered the potatoes half way with water. Covered with plastic wrap and baked in the microwave for two minutes. Than I stirred it and baked for another minute and a half. In 3 1/2 minutes my potatoes were done. I drained the water, let it cook for a couple of minutes and then added it to my salad.
Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad
For the chicken I cheated! I bought a rotisserie chicken from my grocery store. Measured my chicken and placed it on the salad. For the dressing I used a simple balsamic dressing. I love the Whole Foods fat-free balsamic dressing. Only 20 calories per two tablespoons. With all these quick short-cuts, dinner really took me a couple of minutes. I served this salad with a chunk of french bread. I know it’s not wheat bread, but I love french bread and it was fresh and warm.  I couldn’t resist!

Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad
I just love this salad and would make for a great lunch too! The salad may seem small, but it packs a lot of nutrition and fiber so it will keep you full for hours!! No nighttime snack for me! 🙂

Hope you don’t mind some of the quick meals this week, but as usual time is going way to quick!  I am sure you feel the same way!  Can you believe it is, 74 days till Christmas.  Here is the Christmas Clock so you can keep track yourself.

Have a great weekend! I am looking forward to next weeks posts and I can’t wait to share my recipes with you!

Toodles,


Jennifer

      Good morning! I would say 15 slices at 66 calories or 82 calories for 12 slices per loaf.

Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree wea Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree weather for the past couple of days, but now we are going to cool off into the 70’s. Such a big change, that it’s going to feel cold. 
🌸
My plants have seemed to have survived the heat pretty good, except for my Black Eyed Susan’s that I planted a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back with the cooler weather we will get. 
🌸
This is a photo of my garden that I took a couple of days ago. It’s filling in nicely. I planted a small Mexican Sunflower plant a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I planted one last year and it grew so fast that it ended up collapsing and I had to tear it out. I’m hoping planting a smaller one, it will get more if a root system and hold up to its height. It’s such a cool plant with beautiful orange flowers. 
🌸
What is your favorite flower to grow?

Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create an outdoor tablescape. It’s such a pretty space to see and I love how you can make the outdoors an extension of your home. I loved looking out my window and seeing my table. Now I wouldn’t leave it up like I do my dining room, but it was fun to keep it up for the day. 
🌸
Now let me tell you, it is so hard for me to photograph outside. I tried to do it before sunrise and I tried again at sunset. Ugh! I just can’t get the right lighting. I don’t know how so many people make there outdoors look so pretty. If you have any tips, let me know. I’d appreciate that.
🌸
Do you like to photograph outside?

Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I can’t wait. I haven’t had any vacation since Christmas, except for a few random days here and there. I have no plans, but I sure plan on enjoying it.
🌿
Speaking of Christmas, I don’t think I have showed you my console table me since then. I finally finished decorating it. It’s been half done for about a month. Before that, it was an awful catch all space. 
🌿
I decided to stick to the greens, neutrals and for some added color yellow. I really like using yellow this time of year. I noticed I started decorating with yellow in my dining room and it trinkled into my living room. 
🌿
What’s your favorite color to decorate for in the summer?

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Do you have any plans for Mothers Day?
