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.

Spicy BBQ Cauliflower

Cut your cauliflower into bite size pieces. Add the pieces to a bowl, drizzle with avocado oil and season to taste with season all, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and oregano. Use you hands to mix and rub the oil and seasoning into the cauliflower. Use 2 separate bowls to make the dry and wet batter with the ingredients listed.

Dip cauliflower into the wet batter then into the dry batter and set to the side. Make sure that it’s evenly coated. Add about an inch of avocado oil to a pan and warm oil on medium heat. Once the oil is hot add some cauliflower to the oil and cook until brown and crispy on both sides. Do not overcrowd the pan. Put your cauliflower into a plate lined with paper towel or onto a wire rack after removing them from the oil.

Make the BBQ sauce by adding all the ingredients to a small pot while the heat is on medium low. Mix thoroughly and when it is warm turn off the heat. You can either use the sauce for dipping or you can drizzle it over your cauliflower in a bowl and toss to coat evenly.
