tomato paste question

[piegirl]

My new holiday 'thing' is cheese balls. I thought what if you take the cheese, etc. add a little tomato paste and chopped fresh parsley with probably shredded cheddar and then roll it bacon - the precooked, microwave kind (not bacon bits-ick) Do you think the tomato paste would be too tomato or maybe just then it pink? Any ideas, I think it sounds kinda good just no fresh tomatoes to put around the edges. Maybe we need just a recipe exchange post. Piegirl
