I had QUITE a food haul at Costco last week, but since I hadn’t tried most of the foods before, I didn’t want to do a general food haul video, but rather use each product, try them in something and then share my thoughts and how I used it, etc.

So these little beauties are Organic Sugarhouse Maple chicken sausage made by AMYLU. I am a big fan of breakfast sausages but do try to limit my pork intake.

The package comes with 3 separate sealed packs of 14 sausages. I put 1 in the fridge and 2 in the freezer for future use.

Here are the stats and ingredients:

Serving size is 3 links for 110 calories, 6g fat, 1g carbs and 12g protein!! Great numbers here! And all whole ingredients with only 1g sugar noted. I could not WAIT to try these.

So today for lunch I made some. These are pre-cooked so really you just need to nuke them, but I like them a little browned, so I put my links on the cast iron pan and just browned them on low while I got my omelet ready.

I made my omelet with 1 whole cage free egg, 3 Tbl of all natural egg whites, 1/2 cup spinach and 1 cut up stick of raw mozzarella cheese I picked up at Trader Joes a while back. Essentially, I heated about 1tsp of olive oil in a small pan, put in the spinach, topped with the egg mix and cheese and topped with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. I let that cook for a few minutes and the flipped, omelet style, until the eggs were cooked through.

I dished up and put the sausages on the side (as you can see, I was reading with lunch) 🙂

My initial take was that the sausages were sweet like Maple, but not overly so. At first I thought maybe I would have liked them a bit sweeter, but as I continued to ravish them, I noticed JUST a touch of heat, too. I’m not sure why… maybe the rosemary in them… but there was just a little bite. I loved the contrast. Flavor was mild and delicious. Next time I think I will cut them up, brown them and then add the veggies and egg and have them be a part of the actual scramble.

Overall I’d rate these an A. Great stats for the amount you get, flavor was mild and perfectly lovely. Definitely worth a try if you find them in your local Costco/ Sam’s club!
