Coconut Curry Meatballs

Watching the documentary Forks over Knives, a few months ago, changed my life. I knew I would never be able to become a vegetarian or vegan but I knew I could start having more control over the food I was putting in my body. This recipe is a great meatless recipe but can easily be substituted for regular sausage or ground chicken if that is your preference.
