"You know what I think would be a delightful version of this recipe?" Liliana said, nibbling one of the cranberry tarts. "Brie instead of the cream cheese. You'll still get the creaminess, but the earthiness of the brie would be an interesting flavor profile, in a different direction than the slight tang of the cream cheese." She grinned at him. "I would, of course, be happy to taste test both. Extensively."

She was a helper that way.

And that's the version of the recipe I make for holidays, so I couldn't help myself.
