Don't you wish someone would make you some Healthy Chicken Meatballs? Don't be silly: they're easy! Make them yourself and put some in the freezer. Future-You will thank you.
Hey there! This is actually Holley's recipe, but I haven't been doing much recipe creation recently, so I'm stepping in to tell you about this one.
Mmmmmm, Can You Smell That?!
Do you live with someone who is a great cook?
Isn't it the BEST?
Holley was working on a number of recipes on this given day, and let me tell you: the apartment smelled amazing.
These Healthy Chicken Meatballs took the cake. I wish I could let you pre-smell them before you even decide to make them. You're scrolling this page or Instagram, and while the photos are going by you also get a whiff of each meal.
Ohhh, baby!
Someone Made Me Healthy Chicken Meatballs!
Knock, knock. Who's there?
Future-You.
What's Future-You doing here? Quick! Put some pants on…
“Hello? Wassup?” you ask.
“Just wanted to thank you for having the foresight to make me some of Holley's Healthy Chicken Meatballs and putting them in the freezer. All I have to do is warm them up and add whatever sauce – my favorite is the Creamy Curry Fenugreek Sauce,” says Future-You.
“Hey, you're welcome. I love you,” you reply.
Awwww, what a great relationship you two have! You're so cute together!
Now go share some meatballs with each other! Look at you making the #foodlove.
