Recipe of the Week. Marinated Cheese Appetizer.

This is the one of the hors d'ourves served at my brother's shower  and mention that I was going to get the recipe here. I served this at my hubby's b-day party, along with my fabulous guacamole, and this was the first thing gone - by a mile. It is easy - but impressive. My favorite kind of cooking.
