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!!!

    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 World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!

Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great start to the month. I received the cutest fragrance package from @myclaireburke. I couldn’t wait to add these wonderful fragrances to my home.
🍎
The scent I received is Apple Jack & Peel. It’s fresh apples with cinnamon and a hint of citrus. It smells like fall. Reminds me of when we go to Apple Hill to go apple picking, which we will be doing next week.
🍎
The scent is warm and cozy and the candle and potpourri is so pretty. Not only do these look so pretty in my home, but they would make such a wonderful housewarming gift. I wish you could smell them.
