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, Cherry  Tomato & Spinach Pasta 

Dice onion. Clean cherry tomatoes then pat dry.

Add 1-2 tbs of avocado oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add your onions, season with salt and crushed red pepper and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add mushrooms and season with salt, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and oregano. Cook mushrooms until they just start to brown.

While the mushrooms are browning cook pasta as directed on the packaging.

Add cherry tomatoes in with your mushrooms, mix thoroughly and cover until your tomatoes start to burst. Uncover then add your spinach and mix until the spinach starts to wilt.
