In 2021 I was working 50-60 hour weeks at the post office and eating mostly fast food for convenience. I was always tired and even on my off days I barely had any energy to function. I wasn’t showing up as my best as a husband or a father because I was always tired. I was so frustrated because I felt I was too young to always be so tired. This led me to start to pay more attention to how the foods I ate made me feel afterwards and I came to the conclusion that my diet was why my energy was so low. Being the impulsive person I am I decided to go Plant-based cold turkey to see if that would change things for me. I researched Plantbased recipes and made it a point to make meals without using processed vegan items. I started cooking meals like vegetable soup, plant based chili and mushroom, spinach and cherry tomato pasta. After a week of eating plant-based I felt so much better that I knew I could never go back. I was so excited and amazed by my results that I created my food page @_PlantbasedBrandon on instagram. I wanted to document my journey and to dispel the misconception that vegan food is limited and less flavorful.

Black Bean Burgers

(14 ounce) cans black beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry

Drain, rinse and pat your black beans dry. Add the beans to a baking pan to bake for 15 mins at 350F to dry out then let cool. 

finely chopped yellow onion (1/2 of a large onion)

garlic cloves, minced (about 1 Tablespoon)

While the beans are cooling sauté the onions and peppers in oil until the onions are translucent and the peppers soften. (Add in the minced garlic about a min before the peppers and onions are done) Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Add peppers and onions to a bowl and pat away the extra moisture with a pepper towel. To that same bowl add your seasonings, flour, BBQ sauce, mashed sweet potatoes then give it a good mix. Then add in your black beans and mash up really well with a fork then mix thoroughly.

Form the mixture into patties the size of your choosing and fry in grape seed oil for about 2 mins on each side.

Serve on your favorite vegan buns with your favorite burger toppings.
