I’m excited to introduce you to one of my new favorite keto entrees. But the problem is, I’m not sure exactly what to call them.
Broccoli Cheddar Balls? Broccoli Cheddar Bites? Fried Cheese Balls? Deep Fried Broccoli Cheddar Bites? So many possibilities, none of them succinctly describe the flavor you’re about to savor.
Damn! What should a food writer do when words fail?
