Marinated Cheese (recipe & photo)

We're enjoying New Year's Eve festivities at the Wheeler's tonight. We're having pinwheels, pizza, barbeque little smokies, cookies, cake, drinks.... and marinated cheese. I can eat the tops of the pizza, I can probably get away with some sausages but mostly I'm looking forward to the marinated cheese. I'm including my tweaked recipe, which includes parts of Melanie's recipe and also a Taste of Home's. Ta dah!

Angie's Marinated Cheese
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 white cooking wine
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 pkg sundried tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons minced green onions
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt & pepper
  • 4 ounce Monterrey Jack Cheese
  • 4 ounce Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cold
  1. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the olive oil, wine, vinegar, tomato, green onion, garlic, sugar, basil, salt and pepper. Shake vigorously to blend. Set aside.
  2. Cut the block of Cheddar cheese in half lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices to form squares. Repeat with cream cheese and Jack cheese. Arrange cheese squares alternately in a shallow baking dish with slices standing on edge. You can arrange in a single long row, or 2 parallel rows depending on the size of your dish. Pour the marinade from the jar over the cheese slices, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  3. Serve at room temperature. Remove slices to a serving platter so they are still arranged in an alternating pattern. Spoon some of the extra marinade over the cheese, and serve with good crackers.
Fabulous!

That sounds and looks really yummy. I'm imagining trying to stand the cheese squares up on their edges--don't they fall like dominoes when you pour on the marinade?

I also liked your pics of the Christmas lights a few posts back. Deucy sure looks like Bryson.

Has it been 3 years?! 🤔

There’s way too much to catch up on i think?! I homeschooled Kupcake all last year with two amazing friends and their kids. DBall is a Sr at Har-Ber HS this year and is on the debate team and in Camerata choir. He makes amazing grades and it’s super bittersweet for me that he’s graduating next Spring. We just got back from Coleman Family Reunion in Bear Lake, UT. The week prior DBall went to EFY at BYU, while Kupcake and I spent the week with friends who now live in West Jordan. I was able to go to the Provo City Center Temple (w/Susie) and the Jordan River Temple. Bryson is still heat treating and is currently working and living in Ardmore, OK, M-F. Yay. My mom was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in March. She’s having a small reunion next weekend that the kids and I will drive out to. Bryson will drive down after work on Friday night.

This is not finished, but I haven't time to finish it just now. I do have more to say. please don't feel obligated to read this.

B was off yesterday because mail doesn't run on holidays (hallelujah, pass the gravy!) and he did spend some time watching the olympics. I really wish I enjoyed the olympics more than I do, but I do not. Sometimes I can sit there and watch the snowboarders or speed skaters or whatever, but I definitely don't get all excited about it and set aside time in my day for the olympics. In addition to that though, B also put the Christmas boxes back up in the attic (can I get another HALLELUJAH!!!) and finished removing the wallpaper from the master bathroom walls. I somehow did not realize that I couldn't just go in there and paint it now. First it has to be textured, and then primed. Oh, the tediousness of it all. I just want it painted already!! I am *SO* convinced it's going to look less flaming pink once the walls are a more neutral color. Today I took DBall, Cman and Bman to see Big River at the Rogers Little Theater. I almost didn't go- because I didn't ...
