Chipotle Sweet Potato Salad

May 1, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How are you today!  I’m doing great!  I have a wonderful recipe for you, it’s a different spin to traditional potato salad.  The other day, I got some potatoes from the CSA and my Husband asked if could make him potato salad, you know the fatty kind, with a half a tub of full fat mayonnaise.  Blah!  I reluctantly agreed, but I made it strictly for him.  Now I could make a low calorie regular potato salad for myself, but I had some sweet potatoes to use up because they were starting to bud.  Don’t you hate when that happens?  So I came up with this wonderful Chipotle Sweet Potato Salad.

I thought hmmm, I love sweet potato fries dipped in my Spicy Chipotle Aiolo Sauce, why not take that idea and make Potato Salad.  Well, I did and it is wonderful.  If you like sweet potatoes and spiciness, then you’ll like this salad.


I boiled my potatoes with Hubby’s White potatoes and you know what I found out?  White Potatoes sink to the bottom of the pot, while sweet potatoes float.  Weird huh?  This made it easy for separating the white and the orange potatoes.  My Husband would freak if he knew my orange tatters touched his precious white ones. 🙂  I still do not understand why he doesn’t like sweet potatoes?

These potatoes are very creamy, so you have to be careful when your mixing it or it will become like mashed potatoes, which actually wouldn’t be too bad.  The best description I can give this dish is creamy, light, fresh and has a kick!  You can add more peppers to it to make even spicier.  I’ll leave that to you!  All I know is I love this dish and it will become a summer staple for me.  It lasts for days in the fridge.  I’m on day 3 of eating it.  I made the portion size to serve three, but honestly it’s more like four.  It’s very filling.

I wanted to tell you I started a 3 to 5 day detox (your choice for how long), just to clean the system and get a fresh start for the Spring season.  I spring clean my house why not my body?  🙂

This program is pretty easy, it can be for three days or for five days.  I’m going for three right now.  Here are the instructions.  Oh I got this from the Lauren Kelly Nutritionist

  • start each morning with hot water and 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon (must be on empty stomach to flush out toxins)
  • no coffee , just green tea (aim for 3-5 cups)
  • 1 gallon of water a day which you can add lemon, mint or ginger to
  • no dairy (except plain greek yogurt) (she told me as much as I want)
  • no bread/pasta/rice… only quiona or rolled/steel cut oats
  • opt for 2-3 “juices*” a day if you want to juice, otherwise load up on fresh raw veggies.  no more than 2-3 fruits each day * juices are only homemade with fresh veggies and fruit
  • no sugar at all (besides the fruit)
  • no carbonated beverages at all (obviously no soda but also no seltzer)
  • if you want to do vegetarian, load up on raw or steamed beans (mix with raw veggies and lime juice)
  • if you aren’t doing vegetarian, choose only lean white meats and fish and either steam, grill or bake  (Herbs, garlic, lemon, lime (even fresh orange) are great to season)
  • hard boiled eggs are great, only 1 whole egg per day, egg whites are unlimited
  • All nuts are great.  Make sure they are raw and unsalted.  Also, no more than 14 nuts per serving, 2 servings a day. (she said I can sub one nut serving for olive oil)
  • Lastly, make sure you get between 7-8 hours of sleep each night.  Now, I know those who have kids, sometimes kids don’t get the memo.  Try your best by going to bed early each night!

Well my first day is almost through and I could handle it, except for the coffee part.  I asked if I could have one cup of coffee and she said yes.  I really, really tried to skip the coffee, but by 2:00 in the afternoon my head was pounding!!  I broke down and got a ice coffee from Starbucks.  My headache went away.  Goes to show I’m addicted to coffee.  The other hard part I have, is drinking 16 cups of water.  I’m currently at 11 and I know I won’t make 16, but I’m really trying.  Oddly enough I haven’t peed that much today (sorry thats gross).  My friend said I was probably dehydrated from all the coffee I drink and my organs are probably absorbing the water.

One thing I learned today is I need to drink more water!  Now doing detoxes is something I never thought of doing, but I thought what the heck!  Let’s see if I feel a change or if my scale changes at all.  Do I feel better?  No, I feel the same.  I think it’s because I eat pretty healthy as it is.  So this detox all in all hasn’t been hard for me, except for the coffee.  Most of the food I make already, I can eat in this detox.

Will I do this tomorrow?  I don’t know?  It doesn’t hurt, and I’ll pretty much stick to this program as is.  I don’t need to make to many adjustments.  Just drink less coffee, drink more water and incorporate more veggies, less sugar and less processed foods.  I really believe you can have everything in moderation.  As they say, what it comes down to is calories in, calories out.  A person can lose as much weight eating McDonalds as someone who eats vegetables all day if they consume the same amount of calories.   Why do I eat healthy?  There are a few reasons, health, appearance, and I feel better, more energy!  I’ll stick to what I’m doing because I’m happy!  I don’t really believe in diets, it’s a lifestyle change you need to make.  I’ve tried diets and I never make it past the first day!  I lost weight by changing how I live.  So I challenge you to make a small change to better your health!  It’s the little changes that count!  It may not seem like much, but the smallest change can really make an impact in the long run.  Are you with me on this?

Well enough about detoxes, diets and calories, I just thought I would give you that for food for thought!  🙂

Well, How I Met Your Mother is on and my favorite show Two Broke Girls is also on tonight, so I am signing off!

Have a great day!!

Jennifer

P.S.  I told my Husband about the Chinese Chicken Salad blog, on how he ate salad for dinner and this is what he said.  “You woman food bloggers are just trying to change us men, we don’t eat salad, we eat meat!”  lol  Next time I cook him steak, I’m going to stuff it with salad!  ha ha

      Hi Sarah! If you make the sweet potatoe salad, let me know what your Husband thinks! I am offically on day two of the detox, and so far so good! I did splurge and had a 1/2 a cup of coffee today, I was afraid of getting another headache. I did drink my lemon and water first thing this morning and I’m starting my endless drinking of water as we speak. I did hop on the scale and I lost 1lbs. Not to bad for one day! I can’t wait to see tomorrow. Have a great day!

    Oh, what a fun twist on potato salad! I’m certain I’d have to nix the sweet potato version for my hubby…but I’d love to try your recipe as written. I have pretty good will power, but I’m not sure I could get through your detox…I’m impressed!!!

    I love the idea of this salad! I could eat sweet potatoes all day long.

    Good luck with your cleanse. Like you, I usually find they aren’t too hard since I do eat pretty clean… but the coffee kills me. 🙂

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.

Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
