Mom meets grill – for lunch
I had planned an after school outing with my daughter so I knew dinner would be take-out/bring-in/eat-out so to stay in the grilling groove I grilled for lunch. Just for me! Who knew you could grill for one? Okay, I’ve done it before. It’s indulgent, true, but sometimes you gotta live big. Plus, it totally beats a cold sandwich, salad, Lean Cuisine or messing up a pan. And there is no better way to fancy up an AmyLu Chicken Sausage than to char the living daylights out of it on the grill. And I mean that in a good way.
A friend introduced me to AmyLu — 100 calorie, pork-free, gluten-free, chicken sausages — and I’ve been buying them ever since. Two whole months and I’m an expert! I’ve eaten them for lunch and dinner, sometimes on the same day. But by far, the best way to cook them is on the grill. I speared it and popped it into a whole wheat bun and was finished before the One Life to Live commercial break was over.
There are three left. Can you say Wednesday, Thursday, Friday?
My personal fine print: No one gives me the food I’m writing about. I buy it and cook it and eat it because I/we like it.
They sound – interesting! And healthy. Maybe I will try them some time. This post reminds me of a funny thing my daughter said. Her teacher is Jewish and they somehow got into a discussion about food, etc. My daughter came home form school a few weeks ago and told me in the cutest, most shocked voice, “Mom, can you believe Mrs. ___ doesn’t eat HOT DOGS?!!!” She just couldn’t imagine it. So glad to know there is an alternative.
