Cooking Up a Favorite on the Grill!

Summertime is grilling time and I love to grill different types of sausages. It is quick and easy and a total crowd pleaser.

Have you been to my house for a barbecue?

If so, then you have most likely eaten one of our favorite sausages! Sausages by Amylu, Chicken Apple Gouda Sausages. They are light, tasty and have an explosion of Gouda cheese in each bite. Just imagine smoked chicken, creamy Gouda cheese and tart apples, it is a divine combination and goes well with spicy mustard and grilled Vidalia onions. 

Another reason to love these sausages...5 grams of fat and 110 calories per link!  Yes, that is true! These are all natural baby! And, you can buy them in bulk at Costco!

Would you like more reasons to love this sausage?

Sausages by Amylu gourmet chicken sausages are:

• 100% Natural – no nitrites, no nitrates, no added MSG, no preservatives, no artificial anything
• 100% fresh boneless, skinless breast and thigh meat 
• 100% pork-free – our sausages feature tender lamb casings for better eating quality
• Gluten free Low in fat – high in protein – low in carbs

There are other varieties too...like, Sun-dried tomato and basil. Italian chicken with parmesan cheese, Apple and Maple Chicken Sausage and Chorizo Chicken Sausage.  These are available online and at specialty markets in the area as well as Costco.  Although, I haven't seen them consistently at a particular store.  You can also order them online at ATKfoods.com.

I keep the bulk pack in my freezer and in an instant I can thaw them for a great dinner!  They are fully cooked and do not take long once you throw them on the grill.

Here is a great recipe using Amylu's Sausage!  Enjoy!
