This week’s mantra: Just Think Spring. Raise your hand if you’re sick of winter. *Jordan raises both hands* I’ll save you from all my wintery gripes and get to the point of this post: SWEET POTATO SALAD.

Spoiler alert: I’m a genius. Okay fine, maybe I’m not the genius, but whoever thought of this definitely is.

I mean, I like BBQ chicken and I like sweet potatoes, so why not stuff them together and …
