Marinated Mozzarella

Marinated Mozzarella is your Sunday snack ticket!!!

Marinated Mozzarella 4

Sunday snacks……what football game would be complete without them??

This is one of the easiest recipes ever…….I kid you not. Cut. Mix. Pour. Store.

Marinated Mozzarella 1

It can literally be made in about 10 minutes. A pound block of mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes, then mixed with sundries tomatoes, garlic, and herb…….covered with olive oil and marinade.

Marinated Mozzarella 2

Only downside to this recipe is that it needs to be removed from the frig about an hour before game time. The olive oil does tend to set up and you need to allow it to return to room temp.

Marinated Mozzarella 9

This could be considered a plus…….take out the cheese, and by the time you get your favorite team garb on, you are ready to go…….I know, but in girl time, it will take an hour to get ready!!

Marinated Mozzarella 6

So, enjoy a snack of Marinated Mozzarella at your next Sunday game!!!!

Marinated Mozzarella 7

P.S. Marinated Mozzarella can also be an elegant appetizer for special occasions or holidays.

Confetti Corn Dip

Confetti Corn Dip

I couldn’t resist one more recipe with corn. According to my friends at Selmi’s……the best place to get corn in Northern Illinois……..the season is over on Labor Day……today!!!!!

We had a few ears of corn left and I wanted to make Tim and I a snack. Confetti Corn Dip!

At one point in my life, I worked in a factory…….while this was not the job for me…..it was a learning experience. One thing I learned, there are a lot of women who can make some wonderful awesome food!!!

Confetti Corn Dip 1

Pot Lucks and food were a constant at the factory. Someone was always bringing in food. One of the ladies I worked with, Beth, brought something called corn dip. This was where I wrinkled up my nose……corn with mayo?……..but, after I tried it ……I begged for the recipe and it has been a mainstay in my snack repertoire ever since!

The version that Beth made was canned Mexican corn with sour cream, mayo, and cheese, served with Fritos. It was addictive!!
