Rich, creamy, dreamy and full of flavor, you've got to try this Baked Goat Cheese Marinara. And watch out! This appetizer will go fast!

I love cheese. Always have. And with my recent move to the state of Wisconsin, America’s Dairyland, exploring new cheese was inevitable. My favorite grocery store here, Metcalfe’s, is a local establishment that has been around since 1917. As soon as you walk in, you are led to the amazing cheese, artisan crackers and cured sausage and meats section. They always have samples and you can bet there will be a fabulous cheese sample of something you have never tried before. It was here at Metcalfe’s that I tried a 10-year aged cheddar cheese and a fabulous goat milk cheddar cheese. Needless to say, both were amazingly delicious.

I’m thrilled to tell you guys about this More to Make challenge from KitchenAid.  First off, I got to familiarize myself with so many different kinds of goat cheese, hard and soft. And secondly, I got to perfect my homemade marinara sauce recipe. And let me tell you, this spicy, bubbly marinara does not disappoint.  . and I even have some secret ingredients in there. .
