Well when I sat down to write this post I was going to title this “Poached Mozzarella,” however poached mozzarella already seems like a real thing (based on a 1 second Google search 😎 I first learned about cheese balls about 3 years ago when my college buddy brought one over for a super bowl party…he ate it himself. This plate was made with the same Mozzarella (Madara from Trader Joe’s upper Queen Anne) as my classic Seattle caprese . Hey cheese balls (husband trying to impress their wives…me included) this recipe is for us… 1) simply dry off the mozzarella ball 2) place ball in the middle of a SOLID white bowl or plate 3) drizzle EVOO (Extra virgin olive oil) 4) a…

I woke up on Saturday to the smell of sticky buns! Believe it or not I never had one before.
