Especially when they are composed of ground chicken and shredded zucchini. Because those two ingredients make these meatballs healthy, and y'all know how much I love healthy :)
An extra special bonus is that I was able to feed my buddy Justin my balls... and he complemented me on them: "I love your balls." Yes, Justin is also a teenager trapped in an adult's body ha!
