About


We are absolutely in love with the gourmet chicken sausages from Sam’s Club.  Over the weekend we picked up a package of Chicken and Apple and a package of Roasted Garlic and Mozzarella.  Both are awesome.  We look forward to trying the other two varieties.  So far we’ve had them straight up, in calzones, and now we’re making our first foray in to pasta.
