This. This right here is my weakness. Sure, I like a good piece of chocolate cake. But my real weakness is salty, briny and cheesy. Any day that ends with Marinated Mozzarella Balls, Artichokes and Olives and a glass of wine is a good day in my book!

The marinade is full of garlic, lemon and fresh herbs . . . so this is gonna taste fantastic! Second most importantly it is ridiculously easy to make. Just mix up the ingredients and let it do it’s thing. Tasty and lazy . . . that’s how I roll.

The quality of the ingredients is extremely important for this Marinated Mozzarella Balls, Artichokes and Olives Recipe. Use good olive oil, fresh mozzarella, nice firm olives and your favorite Italian seasoning blend. I use Two Snooty Chefs Italianno DE Capri because it is amazing!

    Your buttermilk vanilla cake recipe is what I’ve been searching for, it’s perfect. I love the flavor,texture, and the simplicity of this recipe and it works beautifully in high altitude.. Do you have a chocolate recipe that will give me the same results,but is just as simple as the vanilla? I’ve baked this cake using a cream cheese frosting and a caramel frosting to a very particular group of people and they went crazy!!!!!

      Oh, I’m so happy that you enjoyed. I do not have a chocolate cake recipe (weird!). I need to work on that asap 🙂

    I thought I’d let you know that the Two Snooty Chefs Italianno DE Capri is unavailable on Amazon’s site (used your link). I signed up for the alert in case they make it available again.

      Hi Donna! Thanks for the heads up. That is one of my favorite seasonings. Luckily it looks like it is available on the TwoSnootyChefs site here >> http://www.twosnootychefs.com/gourmetspiceblends.html#italianno 🙂
