It is pretty adaptable. Different herbs, layers of cheeses, other vegetables all can be added to good effect.

Linda posted the January thread here: What's For Dinner #114 - the 1st Quarter Century Edition - January 2025
Yup, I had posted the new link upthread before midnight last night as I knew I wouldn’t last and wanted to get it up for any early takers.
U B local to me. Where did you get this? It looks heavenly! (Not that I personally need it, but perhaps as a dessert gift).

Whoops, I definitely missed it!
Yeah, I hit a wall about 11 or so and went upstairs. That was the last thing I did in 2024. Well, except to brush my toofies.

The book or the recipe ? The recipe was actually quite nice, especially the za’aatar breadcrumbs elevate the dish. The book is good and has interesting recipes but they are not too unusual/special to buy the book at full price (I found it at a sale for $5)
That’s a good deal! I meant the recipe. I borrowed the book from the library. Any other favorites?
Cafe 12 in Chelmsford Center (MA) does special desserts for some holidays by pre-order. The short story is that the owner studied pastry, but her business focus these days is owning and operating a small neighborhood breakfast and lunch cafe. (I can attest to the deliciousness of her creative breakfast sandwiches.)
She posts her holiday menus on the Cafe 12 Facebook page for advance ordering. We are partial to the cake usually offered at Xmas, the cake at Valentine’s Day, and the cupcakes for St. Patrick’s Day. Sometimes we order a cookie box of decorated sugar cookies for our neighbor as a small gift. So pretty that I wish I enjoyed frosted cookies myself.
I noticed that gluten-free treats have been offered on the holiday menus too.

Did you all see the cartoon cum psa about spelling circulating recently? Someone had left out cookies and milk for Satan.

I so feel you. One Chanukah night we got together with extended fam. My kids are 19 and 22. Sister’s kids are 15, 12, and 8. BIL’s nephews are 4 and 1. All present. So much noise and chaos!!! Need quiet place to hide!!! Adult children are a soothing balm on one’s soul after all that.

Didn’t see that, but there was just a Christmas movie with Jack Black playing Satan
