I recently watched a Documentary called "Plant Pure Nation", brought to us by the people who made "Forks over Knives". Both films advocate the benefits of a plant-based diet. I was hooked from the get-go, especially when they got to the part where the evil agri-business lobby convinced the Kentucky Legislature to vote against a Finding of Fact that stated a primarily plant-based diet was healthier. Seriously - I think the scientific community has pretty well proved that. But I digress.
After watching the movie, I went to the website, and saw they've got many ways to get involved in the topic, and that they also have a cookbook. So right away, I went to Amazon and bought it. There are a variety of recipes, and it all comes with gorgeous photos.
Yesterday, for family dinner, I made their recipe for veggie balls. Basically, it's a vegan version of "meat"balls, and the recipe suggested I serve them with marinara sauce. I did them one better, and turned them into Veggie "Meat"ball Subs. I cheated a little - I used real shredded parmesan cheese, and I smeared the french rolls with garlic rolls and broiled them (I find the no-dairy part of veganism the hardest part to implement). And I have to say they were a HUGE hit. Even the niece and nephew loved them, to the point that there wasn't much in the way of leftovers. I have to say that the recipe and the cookbook are both keepers! Yay for plants!!
