Ellie Krieger's Popcorn Shrimp & Sweet Potato and Rutabaga "Chips"

Did you all have a nice start to your week? I hope so! Work seemed to fly by pretty quickly! I switched up my workout routine today and headed to the gym almost immediately after work for a 2 mile run on the treadmill and then a 45 minute spin class. I haven't taken spin since I moved to SC and have been promising my friend (and fellow Body Attack instructor), Jennifer, that I would take her class. It was AMAZING!

I came home and got showered up and did some laundry before getting started on dinner. Tonight I made Ellie Krieger's Popcorn Shrimp served with a side of Sweet Potato & Rutabaga "Chips" and banana.


I have tried this Ellie Krieger recipe before and it turned out kind of meh. I decided to give it another try and it turned out to be VERY yummy. Recipe can be found here (Note: I did not make the sauce, Josh used bbq instead and I used salsa):

The sweet potato and rutabaga chips were very yummy. I sliced both up very thin and sprayed them with Pam. I cooked them for about 20 minutes (turning once) at 425 and then put them under the broiler for a few more minutes:

I meant to post these pictures of the Frankster yesterday. He really HATES being alone. On Sunday, I headed upstairs to shower while Josh was out mowing the lawn. Frank got super irritated and propped himself up on the couch so he could at least watch his Dad:

Too cute:
Love that little mushy man.
What are you all looking forward to this week? I am looking forward to my half day Thursday and day off Friday (which I get to take because I ended up working so much this weekend!!).
