RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Blueberry Banana "Swirl" Smoothie

RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Blueberry Banana "Swirl" Smoothie

We're experimenting with different ways of serving smoothies, and the example in this post is a style known as a "swirl".  Quite simply, two flavors of smoothie are swirled together in the serving glass.  Other popular styles are layered, which is two or more distinct stripes of smoothie; and ombre, where two flavors of smoothie merge in a gradation from one to the other.  They all look good to us, and they taste good, too!

RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Cinnamon Apple Pull Apart

RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Cinnamon Apple Pull Apart

Following the success of our savory Bacon Cheese Pull Apart recipe, we wanted to try a sweet version of this easy-to-make baked dish.  We utilized similar techniques as the savory version, but different ingredients to create the flavor profile.  While we still used biscuit dough from a tube, we substituted the bacon and cheese with cinnamon and apples.  A classic combination, this resulted in a very tasty pastry that was gobbled up in no time!  Look for this recipe to be shared in an upcoming KQ video!
