When Tabitha Brown, the actress and star of the Food Network competition show "It's CompliPlated," went vegan five years ago, she lost 12 pounds. But when the 43-year-old mom, wife, and culinary queen of positivity mastered the art of making that mimicked meatloaf and mashed potatoes, seafood salad, cheesesteak hoagies, and peach cobbler without meat, fish or dairy, she got, "right back thick."
And she's OK with that because her husband loves her that way.
Brown shares her tasty journey to veganism in her new cookbook, "Cooking from the Spirit: Easy, Delicious and Joyful Plant-based Inspirations."
