Posh Piggies 
Via Recipes and Me


Posh Piggies

Instructions:
1 lp natural turkey sausage links (I used Jennie-O)
1 sheet sheet puff pastry (thawed)
2 tbs mayonnaise
2 tbs dijjonaise
1 egg
1/4 cup apricot jelly

Directions:
Cut the sausage links into half- inch slices; brown the meat on both sides in a frying pan over medium high heat. No need to fully cook at this time, all you want is to get both sides a little crispy. Set aside on a plate to cool while you get the pastry ready.

Lay the pastry out on your work surface then break the egg into a small dish and brush the entire surface of the pastry. Using a mini cookie cutter (I used a star) cut out shapes from the pastry.

Place the meat onto a baking sheet and cover each one with a piece of pastry and secure in place with a tooth pick. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 18-20 minutes.

While the piggies are baking mix the jelly, mayo and mustard in a small dish, these are good served hot, warm and room temp. Dip and enjoy!




Gluten-Free Chip and Guacamole Bites 
by Michelle Palin ~ My Gluten-free Kitchen
Prep Time 20 mins Total Time 20 mins

Ingredients:
2 bags Tostitos scoops chips
1 batch guacamole
1 pint cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, sliced
1 bunch fresh cilantro
optional: shredded cheese

Directions:
On your serving platter, spread out the scoop chips, discarding broken ones. (I don't really mean discard, I mean eat the broken ones as you go!)
Put about 1 rounded teaspoon of guacamole in the center of each scoop chip.
Top each with a slice of tomato.
Sprinkle with a bit of cilantro.

Notes: Be sure your guacamole has a good amount of lemon or lime juice so that it doesn't turn an unappealing brown color.
