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.

Mushroom and sweet potato tacos:

In a small bowl make your marinade by adding the vegan Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper and mixing thoroughly. Cut mushroom caps into 1/4 inch slices and add to a large bowl. Pour marinade over mushrooms, toss until evenly coated the marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

While the mushrooms marinate peel and cube your sweet potatoes. Add to a baking pan and add olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt and mix with hands until evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes out on the baking pan and bake at 400F for 30-35 mins tossing half way through.
