First and foremost this is a cookie, not cake. These have a great fruity and nutty taste to them. It’s great for the holidays or anytime.
Mom used to make these every Christmas. Even people who don’t like fruitcake LOVE these cookies!

This is a savory adaptation of a cheese cake. You can spread this on crackers or fancy toasted bread. It’s quite tasty.
Combine all ingredients until well blended. Grease small dish (I use Corning 16 oz round) and pour in the mixture. Place dish on a baking sheet (in case of spill-over) and bake at 350 45-50 minutes until browned but still “loose”; allow to cool in oven 1 hour. Chill until ready to serve, at least 3 hours but preferably overnight. Drizzle with olive oil if desired and serve with crackers.
For an impressive presentation, you may also cook this in a small springform pan (I myself am too lazy for that.) If you are not a fan of basil, you can of course use other herbs such as dill, thyme, or rosemary.
There are good people out there, some have had a journey back to goodness but still. People are worthy of second chances because that is divine. Forgiveness is a good thing.
This Santa might look a little familiar. He’s a bit nerdy and jolly.
To my non-Christian friends may the spirit of the holidays be one of peace, love and grace for you too. You have my appreciation for your friendship.
Nerds have way more fun y’all.
