Fig and Bree Puff Pastry Bites

This recipe is similar the one I've made recently. But it's based on this recipe.
Instead of putting the puff pastry sheets in the oven with the filling already added, this recipe instructs the baker to pre-bake the puff pastry sheets, resulting in fluffier dough.

Ingredients:
1 puff pastry sheet
frozen figs
2 tbsp honey
1/4 cup water
brie
macademia nuts
blue cheese
pear
pecan nuts
cranberries

Heat figs, honey and water on the stove and let simmer until the liquid is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
Roll out puff pastry sheet and cut into 12 rectangles. Place rectangles into muffin pan molds and bake for 12 minutes at 375 F (190 C). When done, remove from the oven and gently press down on the middle of the puff pastry cups. Fill 6 cups brie and top with macademia nuts and fig mass. Fill the other 6 cups with pear pieces, blue cheese, pecan nuts and cranberries. Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and puff pastry is golden brown.

1/3 - 1/2 cup of parsley
1/3 cup of pecans

A surprisingly sweet Banana-Pear-Almond-Milk-Smoothie!

For my (almost) daily smoothie I tried out the following

Smoothie recipe:
1 banana
1 pear
1 cup almond milk
4 tbsp cranberry juice
Blend banana and pear (will make about 2 cups of banana-pear-mush), add almond milk and cranberry juice. Enjoy!

Surprisingly the smoothie tasted a lot like apple, which I'm not against, but I just expected something different. Also, I realized that the almond milk I bought was sweetened (don't know how I missed that before). Now I know that the sweetness of my last smoothies wasn't all thanks to those ripe bananas!
