Vegan Sports: Bryan Danielson

I know Bryan Danielson aka Daniel Bryan aka The American Dragon doesn't look like a wrestler, more like a dude you might go hiking with, but he is. And he's vegan!

Peanut Butter Pasta

Created this (a simpler version) when I was studying abroad in Beijing and my Chinese hosts requested some authentic American food. My American friend's mom had just him peanut butter and pasta. My Chinese friends had soy sauce and MSG in their house. Hopefully your kitchen is better stocked.

1/2 pound cooked pasta (I like to use penne)
half a green bell pepper
1 cup broccoli
1/2 an onion
1/2 cup corn

For sauce:
about 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 soy sauce
1/4 veggie broth
handful of basil
Sriracha sauce (just a squirt or two)

Sauce: Mix liquids into PB slowly, stirring and stirring until it thins out.

Fry onion in pan with oil. Throw in other veggies and sauce until it is all hot and gooey. Toss with pasta. Not a hard one, but hearty and awesome.

Strawberry Dressing

Inspired by my buddy, Andrea, I made a strawberry salad dressing. Filled a jar with equal parts olive oil and balsamic vinegar, added a few tablespoons of sugar and tossed in pecans and strawberries until I couldn’t fit anymore. Sweet!

Kale Salad

half an apple
two stalks of celery
one small tomato
a bunch of kale
Italian dressing


Steam kale until dark green. Chop it real small. Dice the raw veggies and toss them with the kale with your favorite Italian dressing (homemade or otherwise). Done!

Biscuits

3 tsp baking powder
sprinkle of salt
1/4 cup margarine
1 cup soy milk
2 cups flour
small handful of sugar

Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add margarine and milk and mix. Roll out on flour-dusted counter, a little extra flour patted on the dough ball. When it's flat, use the mouth of a glass to cut out circles in the dough. Put these little puppies on a greased pan, put in oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes (flipping once about half way)

This is basically the How it All Vegan recipe, but I like the sweetness of the added sugar and an extra greasy pan really turns the biscuits nice and golden.
