Oh-me-oh-my! We are already one week into 2015 and I have yet to make any New Year Resolutions…though, after the last couple of years, I am thinking I might need to resolve to NOT make any new resolutions! Last year, being tired of not knowing anything about the shows people at the water cooler were taking about, I resolved to watch more TV. But, other than a Friday Night Lights marathon (while snacking on Sweet Potato Pancakes and Goldfish crackers and Brownies), I failed miserably. I still have no idea why Orange has to be the New Black (why can’t it be blue?) or what “Bad” is actually being “Broken”…is there a word or two missing between Breaking and Bad?
At this point, I think I know more about football plays than TV shows and when my daughter grabs the remote to switch channels when commercials come on during a football game – I grab the last Brownie and threaten to eat it as I hand wrestle her for the remote! Yes, food can be a great negotiator!
Speaking of wrestling, when I picked up some Goldfish crackers for snacking during the Big Game, I kept wrestling with an idea to use them in turkey-balls, with honey and mustard! At first, even I thought Goldfish crackers and turkey were an odd combination! When I mentioned it to my daughter, she thought I had finally lost it – “mom you’re bonkers” were her exact words!
But, I threw caution to the wind and figured oh what the heck – if these don’t turn out so good, I will just stick to brownies! But, when these Turkey Balls laced with Goldfish crackers popped out of the oven, their smell enticed us to risk tongue damage by scarfing one down pronto! Even without an accompanying dip AND piping hot, these were fantastic!
If you decide to make these and have little helpers around, you could get them to smash up the Goldfish crackers. They say “there is transformative power behind a little smile” and these turkey balls laced with Goldfish crackers, and honey and mustard will surely leave you smiling!

Damn delicious and healthy snack!!!
This is super creative! And I’m such a fan of honey mustard!! Gotta try this sucker out!!
I don’t make resolutions anymore… last year I tried to make one for my blog and failed miserably. I don’t think goldfish crackers and meatballs are crazy… well maybe crazy good. 🙂
I don’t make resolutions. It just ends in disappointment and feelings of failure 🙂
I can’t possibly add anymore shows to my lineup and that’s why I haven’t watched any of the shows you mention! I DVR all mine and watch them when I can.
Great use for Goldfish! We ate so many of these when the kids were little. They hardly come home with us now. But I bet they’d taste great in meatballs!
Not going to lie- these balls must be the weirdest yet most genius combination yet…YUM! I was a huge goldfish fan growing up and this just reminds me that it’s been far too long since I had some. Adding this to my “Groceries I want from the US” list—> which is obviously getting longer by the day ;)!
I haven’t set any concrete resolutions but I want to focus on creating value in all areas of my life over the next year, be it in terms of my health, work, relationships with others and life overall!
