A healthy easy meal for busy nights!

After what was hopefully our last weekend of moving, the last thing Bo and I wanted tonight was takeout or a meal that would take a long time to prep or cook. We walked downstairs to Food Cellar & Co in search of an easy, nutritious dinner that would leave us satiated while still provide us time to enjoy a movie together! Without further ado, I leave you with our recipe:

Ingredients:
2 bags of Shirataki noodles
leeks
1 red pepper and 1 yellow pepper
1 pack baby bella mushrooms
1 jar of your favorite organic pasta sauce
1 package of fresh italian chicken or turkey sausage
Assorted italian seasonings
Salt & Pepper
Garlic Cloves
Freshly grated parm or pecorino cheese

Directions:
Sautee peppers and 1 pressed garlic clove in a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat
Add mushrooms and sautee until soft and season as desired
Meanwhile, squeeze sausage out and form into small “meatballs” and cook over medium to high heat in a pan coated with PAM or EVOO
While these two pans are cooking bring a pot of water to a boil
Rinse noodles thoroughly before parboiling
Once water boils, add dash of salt and parboil Shiritaki noodles
Add your favorite sauce to the pan with the sauteed vegetables and add a few leaves of chopped basil and oregano
Let simmer for 2-3 minutes while you parboil the noodles
Rinse and drain noodles
Remove the meatballs from the heat once cooked thoroughly and blot any access oils
Toss the noodles and meatballs with the vegetables/sauce mixture and top with freshly grated cheese
Plate for dinner and enjoy leftovers for an easy lunchtime meal tomorrow!

Really? Forty-two minutes to cancel one membership??

It wasn’t the $82.80 they charged me to cancel my membership that left such a bad taste in my mouth but instead the FORTY-TWO minutes and endless elevator music that caused me to loathe NYSC!!! Thanks guys as that’s 42 minutes i’ll never get back and could have spent doing anything else. At least that is behind me now and I can focus on the positive things such as the fact that my gym is only 19 floors below me, only $50 per month, includes a pool, and NY Blogger New York City Blogger celebrity sightings.
 

What is your worst gym membership experience?
