Just a quick pop in today to share this southwestern potato salad I made for ladies pool day last weekend. The heat has zapped my inspiration lately, so I haven’t been doing much in the way of cooking. I’ll apologize now if there are a few blank days here on Betsylife over the next few weeks, but you know, that’s the way it goes sometimes.

The bigger lesson is in being kind to yourself. I believe in honoring my commitments even when it comes to daily posting on my blog, which is something I committed myself to long ago. Often when I can’t make it happen, I really beat myself up over it, which doesn’t help the situation one way or another. Things fall through the cracks. Its ok! I know in my heart that I give my best effort to my life each and every day, and I’m getting better about leaving the negativity at the door when something doesn’t go right.

For today, we’re in business! This potato salad is healthy, mayo free, and great for gatherings. Maybe try to slip it in at your next football party as a healthier option. No one will even know they’re eating something good for them.
