Miserable people hide behind their keyboard and social media. Don’t waste your time on them. I enjoy your positive spirit, recipes and your love for your dog. Stay on course!
Well said! Half the time I don't even read the comments these days the internet has gotten so degraded aggressive and intolerant of others but a site like this is meant to bring people together in compassion and joy so I still do. (And I kiss my dog when I'm cooking too!🐶🐶)
Lol!😂 loved this episode! I'm born and raised in Houston TX.. and I say what I mean and mean what I say.. You put those pompous ass opinionated clowns🤡💩 in their place😂 Oh! .. and I have the same aversion for the bell pepper membrane stuff too. Wishing you and Frankie a happy week!🎉
Thanks for the wonderful video, keep posting. I agree if people don't have anything nice to say, they should not say anything. If they don't like your videos they can go somewhere else.
Hi, I am a retired professional chef and instructor. I am slowing going over to a full plant based diet. I love your recipes, I love your dog, ( love my dog more), and you are truly a good positive person. Don’t worry about the idiots. Unfortunately the world has way too many of them. Thanks so much for sharing your story, your life and your great culinary skills and recipes. ❤
Your food is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents and Frankie. So sorry about those uncharitable comments - very hard not to react to them. Just know that you are appreciated.
She's energetic; her teeth are white; her coat is glossy. That's a healthy dog. And she clearly adores you. Don't know what people are complaining about. Ignore them.
Love your energy, your food, your tats and your love for Frankie . Kiss away, I have 3 amazing dogs one which sits on my lap while I eat if i take my food to the lounge. She has even on occasion forgot herself and pinched crumbs from my plate, so what, my dog, my house, my rules! Your relationship with Frankie is wonderful!
Yummy that looks amazing ❤️can’t wait to make this! Love the way you to talk and treat your beautiful dog it’s precious. My daughter is a nutritionist and raw vegan and put her a bichon on a vegan diet about 4 years ago and he is healthy and he just turned 12 . Thank you for teaching us easy meals ❤️❤️
I always thought the way that Derek fusses over the dog in the videos was really sweet and wholesome... Why would anyone take issue with someone showing their animal companion? His 'go watch someone else' attitude is on point here.
@@susanmiller7560 you think? I think dogs are some f the kindest.. i reckon i will be ok on Syrius B and run and sleep with the dogs. i dont like ppl too much. Most days im happy chilling with my dog and cat and birds.
Just adding to the love and support here. You have a passion, a gift, and love for your gorgeous Frankie. Plus, you are willing to share all of it with us. It is a beautiful thing!
I recently read about this happening in dogs. Funnily enough it started happening to me and that's one of the reasons I went vegan! As soon as I stopped eating animal protein I gained weight because I could finally digest my food
oh no a lovely guy loving his dog wholly and fully while also respecting all other living beings, how dare he!!! people have the wildest of takes sometimes i swear
My Dad had the same saying. I have 5 dogs and they are my life as well. I am always kissing them, you're amazing, haters will be haters. Frankie is adorable 🥰
I basically would like to say I'm sorry you have to deal with ignorance on the internet, but remember that we appreciate what you do so don't be discouraged. Always remember that you have like minded folks out here. Your dog seems absolutely lovely. Wishing you two the best.
My wife and I recently had to say goodbye to our dog, Max after 18 years and we would give anything to share a kiss with him again. We have been vegan for 9 years now and look forward to seeing your videos for ideas and we love that you include Frankie. Keep up the great work.🇨🇦
She's gorgeous; I often ponder how blessed we are by the animals which inhabit the earth. It is a privilege to have a pet and the love they give. I've been blessed to have pets all my life and I hope I always will be. I love your cooking!
I have heard of other providers saying the same thing about how people ridicule their content. I can’t for the life of me understand why they watch something they hate. Our son died 18months ago and I try to keep my mind occupied. Enjoying your podcast is one of the ways. My dogs are a great comfort to me and understand yours is too. Dog love and kisses are the best!
I am not vegan, but I’m quite interested in your food. I love how you use spice, and your interactions with Frankie are adorable. I’m like that with my cats. World’s best companions.
Social media are magnets for self-righteous people who think they are entitled to be critical. But who wouldn’t say boo to a goose if you met them. I love your recipes and videos.
I remember several years ago a vegan dog held the record for the oldest dog. Gone now but you are certainly not harming your dog. Don't let an obnoxious Christian (they are in the minority but so glaring) chase you away. Most Christians will do anything for you. Obnoxious Christians ruined it for me until I was 71. I'm 75 born again and vegan. Life is beautiful.
A true Christian has the love of Christ in their heart. We are a plant based Christian family and do it first and foremost for health and to glorify Him with our health. Second because it is compassionate as the Creator never made animals with the intent on being eaten. However, we believe in leading by example with kindness and speaking truth in love. That Christian lady may have been right about his needing Jesus (but with that attitude she needs Him even more) but wrong in her approach. Condemnation of others and unrighteous judgement of others is not Christlike. The Bible tells us to plant the seed of His Word but it is the Spirit that convicts the heart. It is all about planting the seed in love just like Jesus did.
@@beatricepineda5923 Yeah, why do people always go after tattoos?🤪🤪 As if they tell you where a person is at right in the present moment! They are just inkwork. Everyone needs to know Jesus, no one person more than another 😂
Burst out laughing with the "you need to find God" comment. These people are better off ignored. I personally love your stuff, you're an inspiration to make delicious dishes for my vegan skeptic girlfriend, and funnily enough I will probably use this recipe as a vegan host hosting non-vegans guests. Keep it up!
The Jesus comment cracks me up, lol. I am a devout Christian, and God/Jesus/Holy Spirit teaches us not to judge and to LOVE one another. Holier than thou people remind me of KARENS, and they need to mind their own business and work on their own issues and leave the rest of us alone. I love your food and your passion for kindness and life. Keep up the great work!
It's a good job I don't make videos, I'm a vegan Christian with tattoos, purple and blue hair, various piercings and a vegan Chihuahua, they'd have a field day with me 😂 you can't please everyone so I've stopped trying to please anyone! 💚
Catholic here (with a Buddhist background 😉) with a full sleeve tattoo. I’ll never understand the judgement and audacity of keyboard warriors. Your at home videos are absolutely upgrading my cooking. I made some King Oyster Mushroom scallops for dinner last week using your cast iron techniques, and my husband said he was underdressed for the occasion. Thank you for all you do!

You're amazing. Your channel is amazing. These recipes are empowering. Your dog is delightfully grounded. The energies that run on social media can be breathtakingly unkind. But so impersonal ultimately. Thank you for not being a perfectionist also. I'm still working on seeing through that conditioning and your "confessions" are inspiring as well. Bless you 💝
I kiss my pups ALL the time too, because I love them! Keep doin’ it Derek. People that kiss their 4paw family members live longer because they have love in their hearts. Thanks for sharing your recipes and teaching us how to cook great food!❤
Hey Derek, based on 6'30+ look at the numbers there are so many "silent" viewers like me watching you for a while and appreciating your videos. The peace and mindfulness you are communicating through your videos. Love it! Pragmatic wise your recipes are great as I am cooking for 4-5 people everyday. Keep it going.
I love your tattoos (I have plenty of my own), your dog (she's beautiful) and your informative, kind, inspired style. Thank you for what you're doing here. ❤ Also, well done for calling the idiots out.
WTF! And I don’t mean Wed Thurs Fri either! I LOVE all the affection you give to Frankie❤sick to death of rudeness - please K.I.M (keep it moving) negativity is EXHAUSTING! This dish looks delicious! Thank YOU for sharing it and Frankie with us Derek✊🏽
Hi Derek, I am thankful for you in helping me cook healthier for my family. We lost our dog 2 months ago to cancer, We miss her so much, she was an amazing dog, we kissed her and hugged her all the time, after watching your amazing recipes and how much you love on Frankie, you made me realize I want another dog, so thank you for all you do. You and Frankie are so cute together. ❤
I lost my greyhound this Spring. Seeing your pup and the love and care you have for her makes me so happy. I love your food and everything, but Frankie is the reason I watch. She is a beauty and deserves all the kisses 😘
I just can't anymore. I should not be watching your videos while starving. Also, Frankie is awesome, never stop. That's exactly how I am with my two goldens too. They deserve it.
I’m not vegan, but was pleasantly surprised when your thumbnail first graced my feed. I saw a handsome guy with a gorgeous black lab who can cook really well. And keeps a nice, clean kitchen. Then I watched that amazing half-hour video of your 30-day silent retreat at the monastery. The quantity, quality and creativity of the meals was astounding! It almost seemed like the cooking was a type of meditation. Your channel is full of humor, compassion, and great cooking. Plus, you and Frankie are so adorable. Keep doing what you do.❤
The main reason why I follow you, is the love and especially the kisses for your dog🥰Seriously, how can people comment on thát! The food is also inspiring and the struggles and the journey. Beautiful human being you are.
Since you have had some crappy comments, I wanted to try and even it out by letting you know your videos have done so much for my family to be more healthy and happy. Even though I’m the only vegan, they want to eat these recipes anyway. You’re making a bridge. Peace to you and Frankie
How have I not discovered your channel before now?!! I am binge watching your content, you are an incredible talent and inspiration. I have been plant based for 12 years, and your cooking has got me genuinely excited about food again! Can’t wait to use your recipes. Thank you for sharing, and Frankie is a total babe and deserves as many kisses, plus more, that you can lay on her 😅🙌🏼
I know your purpose for making these videos is to educate people. But as I’m learning how to cook this dish, it’s also entertaining and fun to watch. You add commentary, special effects, engagement… mistakes or not you and Frankie make perfect videos! Btw I really like this recipe. Being Asian most of my tofu flavoring is soy sauce based. It’s nice to have a mayo based flavoring!
Derek mate.. You have my heartfelt gratitude.. I've been vegan for 6 years and I've yet to meet another soul like you to bring up the goodness of veganism like the dalai lama himself. You're the bob ross of (vegan) cooking.. and not just veganism, but just being a good person. Cheers from Finland!
For the record, I have ZERO PROBLEM with you doing your thing in your house. You kiss your fur baby all you want! Vegan cook to vegan cook, thank you for all you do!❤
Holy guacamole! I have all these ingredients in my house & some jalapeno wraps. It’s happening right now. And for the record, I kiss my cats, my sister’s dog, and the office dogs. Frankie is a sweetheart & deserves all the loves.
I can’t even believe people would comment those kind of things. Giving our dog kisses and love is the most amazing thing we can give them. The way I look at it is people that have those problems. It’s something deep inside of them that’s hurting. I honestly feel deep sadness for them😢
what would a home be without a dog!! I love that Frankie is a part of your channel. Forget the haters and the negative comments. Your channel is amazing, along with your recipes. You have inspired me to continue my vegan journey. I'm 68 and continue to learn more and more about the vegan way of life. Keep on chugging!
Personally, I watch your videos because your recipes are amazing, and your techniques awesome. Frankie is adorable and deserves all the love you have to give. Plus, she deserves all the fabulous treats. I have a cat that could be Frankie's twin. Love You! Keep up the good work.
There is absolutely no doubt that you love your dog with all your heart and soul. She is so fortunate to have you in her life. Keep giving her hugs, kisses, and good food!
I have the deepest respect for your recipes, your love of your dog, and the fact you tell it like it is. It is nice that you have been able to make your way in life after the lost of the love of your life. Onward and upward. Vegan lifestyle saved my life.❤
That is a perfect description for Derek, he has that soulful feel and mystique about him. You know he is coming from a genuine place with a lot of gravitas to his words.
Derek, U "Rock"! And so does your four-legged baby (she is so cute!❤). I "Love" seeing how much u guys "Love" each other. Sometimes, we have to set boundaries with people & their judgments. "Good Job" Dude. If how u treat your baby is wrong, then I don't want to be right, LOL! 😅. Blessings...Kathy " White Dove"
Hey Derek, your previous video where you cooked 1800 meals, where you shared a bit of your story, helped me a lot. Do what do. We're here to cheer you on.
I kiss my dog a lot and he's been on a plant-based diet for the last 7 years. I tell him I love him all the time. It's the best. Your films are brilliant, but Frankie is the star and the way you interact with her and talk to her is a real heart singer!! I love the big Frankie kiss two fingers to all the critics out there at the end!!
Don’t worry about the ignorant people criticising your dog’s diet. They don’t know that whenever they feed their dogs “sensitive stomach” dog food, they are most likely feeding them vegan dog food. Also, at 10 weeks old, my then puppy was diagnosed with mast cell cancer. I noticed it when it was the size of a lentil. His vet removed it surgically immediately and sent it for testing, and it turned out to be very aggressive. His oncologist didn’t put him on chemo therapy because of his very young age, but kept monitoring him every 3 months at the start, then 6 months. When I told her that I put him on a vegan diet very early on, she was worried. A couple of years later, after a checkup, she told me “keep doing whatever you are doing, it is working”. Mast cell cancer in dogs is bound to recur according to his oncologist. My dog is now eight and a half years old and the cancer hasn’t recurred. 5 years after his incident his oncologist said that he is safe now from mast cell cancer recurrence, but I still take him for a checkup on a yearly basis for my own peace of mind. I put my dogs on a vegan diet because my other dog had a sensitive stomach. Their vet was worried at the start, but I consulted dog nutritionists when moving them to a vegan diet eight years ago. Their vet soon stopped being worried, she says they are both very healthy dogs. It seems that cats need animal sources of food in their diet, but dogs don’t. I love your food and I love watching Frankie on your channel. Thanks for your content.
Well done! And a very important point about cats! You CAN put your dog on a vegan diet, if you know what you're doing. But if you try that with a cat, you'll kill it. Cats MUST have meat.
I've loved all these tofu videos lately! My toddler is going through a phase where he only wants to eat tofu, and fortunately for us he doesn't seem to mind how it's prepared as long as it's tofu. Your videos have been a life saver!
I doubt you'll go back and read this.... Human attitude pus..... I absolutely cracked up and recently stumbled across your channel,... I think the buzz word is authentic, you and boo dog are beautiful souls. Thank you.
I am here for you. People think they can say what they want....it's your channel, your talent and your sweet puppy. Just block 'em, they don't deserve to watch you. 💞 And when I'm wanting some gentle energy, and to learn something, I watch your videos .
I LOVE how your dog is part of your videos! And I ❤ your ink. -not that it matters, but you are doing what you do out of compassion for other lives and that matters more than pretty much anything. ✌️
I absolutely love your cooking… I stop and show my partner your dishes …. He made me your tofu roast potatoes and vegetables yesterday for dinner… incredible! We are vegan and have a Great Pyrenees that is a service dog for seizure detection and assistance for me…. And are Buddhists. We Buddhist, vegan animal loving people are a different kind of breed…. I accept that.
🙏 Derek, I have made your lentil smashed tacos so many times. My 7 year old loves them so much she asked to even eat them for breakfast once! In fact, thats what's sitting in my fridge atm lol😅. Will try this recipe, too. Btw, i LOVE Francesca and how you show your love, watching it actually destresses me! Please keep doing you. ❤
Those people who do not understand puppy kisses don't have dogs! It's the way they love you! I Love how well you take care of Frankie. She's a lucky girl! I also love your videos. I learn so much! Thanks!
You are an inspiration Derek. I kiss my Lemon 1000 times a day. And nobody can say anything. I love my dog more than anything in the world!! Your recipes rock!!!❤
More 🐶 kisses!! 😘 And the negative people and their ignorant comments can GTFO. And I love the tattoos! Here’s a tip for those that don’t like them: don’t get one! 😉 Now…that dish!! Yum! 😋😋😋 There aren’t enough hours in the day to eat all the tofu! Your “All-day Breakfast Tart” is my absolute FAV…that’s when I started using mayo when cooking tofu. Game changer!! Breakfast wraps like this are my go-to anytime of the day. I’m drooling. LOL 😂 I can’t wait to make this one…I just need the potatoes!! (I should’ve been born in Idaho.) ♥️✌🏻
The love for you and Ms. Frankie far outweigh any lonely lost souls that have no compassion for themselves or others. Keep reading your comments they are amazing and pour over with gratitude ❤ thanks for yet another mind blowing 🤯 yumminess.

Thanks for the wonderful video, keep posting. I agree if people don't have anything nice to say, they should not say anything. If they don't like your videos they can go somewhere else.
If you eat tofu at the Sarno household there is always a small slice missing. 😂😂 🐕 🐕
She deserves all the kisses. Dogs are better people than most humans.
The fool's criticism proves that.
all animals are =)

Don’t listen to the trolls, my animals have been the loves of my life. I’m inspired to go back to vegan diet after watching your videos, thank you.
Your treatment of your dog, makes my heart sing. She is a blessing, and you are a dear man.
I lost my greyhound this Spring. Seeing your pup and the love and care you have for her makes me so happy. I love your food and everything, but Frankie is the reason I watch. She is a beauty and deserves all the kisses 😘
I just can't anymore. I should not be watching your videos while starving.
Also, Frankie is awesome, never stop. That's exactly how I am with my two goldens too. They deserve it.
So beautiful to see you treat your dog like real family. Wish everyone treated their dogs like that💕
I’m not vegan, but was pleasantly surprised when your thumbnail first graced my feed. I saw a handsome guy with a gorgeous black lab who can cook really well. And keeps a nice, clean kitchen.
Then I watched that amazing half-hour video of your 30-day silent retreat at the monastery. The quantity, quality and creativity of the meals was astounding! It almost seemed like the cooking was a type of meditation.
Your channel is full of humor, compassion, and great cooking. Plus, you and Frankie are so adorable. Keep doing what you do.❤
The main reason why I follow you, is the love and especially the kisses for your dog🥰Seriously, how can people comment on thát!
The food is also inspiring and the struggles and the journey. Beautiful human being you are.
Chronic dog kisser here 🙋🏻♀️ - just found you and love your content. This looks fantastic! 🤤
Just ignore the idiots...your best friend deserves all the kisses you give her. You have one of the best cooking shows on TH-cam!
Since you have had some crappy comments, I wanted to try and even it out by letting you know your videos have done so much for my family to be more healthy and happy. Even though I’m the only vegan, they want to eat these recipes anyway. You’re making a bridge.
Peace to you and Frankie
Thanks for your tofu dishes!!! They are super easy to make. Thank you!!!
How have I not discovered your channel before now?!! I am binge watching your content, you are an incredible talent and inspiration. I have been plant based for 12 years, and your cooking has got me genuinely excited about food again! Can’t wait to use your recipes. Thank you for sharing, and Frankie is a total babe and deserves as many kisses, plus more, that you can lay on her 😅🙌🏼
Thank you for watching
I know your purpose for making these videos is to educate people. But as I’m learning how to cook this dish, it’s also entertaining and fun to watch. You add commentary, special effects, engagement… mistakes or not you and Frankie make perfect videos! Btw I really like this recipe. Being Asian most of my tofu flavoring is soy sauce based. It’s nice to have a mayo based flavoring!
Derek mate.. You have my heartfelt gratitude.. I've been vegan for 6 years and I've yet to meet another soul like you to bring up the goodness of veganism like the dalai lama himself. You're the bob ross of (vegan) cooking.. and not just veganism, but just being a good person. Cheers from Finland!
I feel the same way!!!!❤❤❤❤
I actually LOVE the fact the Ms America is such a big part of your show & your life! I'm the same way with my 17 yr old Yorkie.
For the record, I have ZERO PROBLEM with you doing your thing in your house. You kiss your fur baby all you want! Vegan cook to vegan cook, thank you for all you do!❤
Your Frankie rant made me tear up. It’s a beautiful relationship. 💕🐶
Holy guacamole! I have all these ingredients in my house & some jalapeno wraps. It’s happening right now. And for the record, I kiss my cats, my sister’s dog, and the office dogs. Frankie is a sweetheart & deserves all the loves.
You and Frankie are the BEST, Thanks to both. Love from us and our 13 rescues. xx
I can’t even believe people would comment those kind of things. Giving our dog kisses and love is the most amazing thing we can give them. The way I look at it is people that have those problems. It’s something deep inside of them that’s hurting. I honestly feel deep sadness for them😢
I hope they find happiness. Thanks for watching 🫶
what would a home be without a dog!! I love that Frankie is a part of your channel. Forget the haters and the negative comments. Your channel is amazing, along with your recipes. You have inspired me to continue my vegan journey. I'm 68 and continue to learn more and more about the vegan way of life. Keep on chugging!
Yes Derek, don't worry about the sad and sorry souls. We love you and Frankie. ❤
Personally, I watch your videos because your recipes are amazing, and your techniques awesome. Frankie is adorable and deserves all the love you have to give. Plus, she deserves all the fabulous treats. I have a cat that could be Frankie's twin. Love You! Keep up the good work.
There is absolutely no doubt that you love your dog with all your heart and soul. She is so fortunate to have you in her life. Keep giving her hugs, kisses, and good food!
I have the deepest respect for your recipes, your love of your dog, and the fact you tell it like it is. It is nice that you have been able to make your way in life after the lost of the love of your life. Onward and upward. Vegan lifestyle saved my life.❤
Just keep being yourself. To me, you are the Leonard Cohen of vegan cooking. Hallelujah!
I love that, "the Leonard Cohen of vegan cooking". Perfect!
That is a perfect description for Derek, he has that soulful feel and mystique about him. You know he is coming from a genuine place with a lot of gravitas to his words.
That dog is clearly very healthy and happy. Good job!! Great recipe! Thanks : )
The segments with Francesca are the cherry on top 👌 Fran deserves all the kisses!
Derek, U "Rock"! And so does your four-legged baby (she is so cute!❤). I "Love" seeing how much u guys "Love" each other. Sometimes, we have to set boundaries with people & their judgments. "Good Job" Dude. If how u treat your baby is wrong, then I don't want to be right, LOL! 😅. Blessings...Kathy " White Dove"
Well done! Don't pander to the ignorant nasty people. They aren't worth the effort or time. Dogs love kisses and we love the videos. ❤
Hey Derek, your previous video where you cooked 1800 meals, where you shared a bit of your story, helped me a lot. Do what do. We're here to cheer you on.
You’re a MASSIVE benefit to this world! Keep kicking ass and ignoring the fools 🎉
I kiss my dog a lot and he's been on a plant-based diet for the last 7 years. I tell him I love him all the time. It's the best. Your films are brilliant, but Frankie is the star and the way you interact with her and talk to her is a real heart singer!! I love the big Frankie kiss two fingers to all the critics out there at the end!!
We all love Frankie. She is the real star of your channel. ❤
YES 🙌🏽 exactly
It warms my heart when people are kind and loving to animals .😊 And when we are kind and loving to other people too.
Don’t worry about the ignorant people criticising your dog’s diet. They don’t know that whenever they feed their dogs “sensitive stomach” dog food, they are most likely feeding them vegan dog food.
Also, at 10 weeks old, my then puppy was diagnosed with mast cell cancer. I noticed it when it was the size of a lentil. His vet removed it surgically immediately and sent it for testing, and it turned out to be very aggressive. His oncologist didn’t put him on chemo therapy because of his very young age, but kept monitoring him every 3 months at the start, then 6 months. When I told her that I put him on a vegan diet very early on, she was worried. A couple of years later, after a checkup, she told me “keep doing whatever you are doing, it is working”. Mast cell cancer in dogs is bound to recur according to his oncologist. My dog is now eight and a half years old and the cancer hasn’t recurred. 5 years after his incident his oncologist said that he is safe now from mast cell cancer recurrence, but I still take him for a checkup on a yearly basis for my own peace of mind.
I put my dogs on a vegan diet because my other dog had a sensitive stomach. Their vet was worried at the start, but I consulted dog nutritionists when moving them to a vegan diet eight years ago. Their vet soon stopped being worried, she says they are both very healthy dogs.
It seems that cats need animal sources of food in their diet, but dogs don’t.
I love your food and I love watching Frankie on your channel. Thanks for your content.
Wow!Well done.listening to ones intuition and heart always comes right.so glad they are doing well!love to you all🙏🏻❤️
Well done! And a very important point about cats! You CAN put your dog on a vegan diet, if you know what you're doing. But if you try that with a cat, you'll kill it. Cats MUST have meat.
So glad I found you this weekend and so glad in this crazy times there are wonderful people like you out there. It gives me hope.
I've loved all these tofu videos lately! My toddler is going through a phase where he only wants to eat tofu, and fortunately for us he doesn't seem to mind how it's prepared as long as it's tofu. Your videos have been a life saver!
Amazing
I doubt you'll go back and read this.... Human attitude pus..... I absolutely cracked up and recently stumbled across your channel,... I think the buzz word is authentic, you and boo dog are beautiful souls. Thank you.
Hurt people hurt people. Bless them and let them go 💕 Love you, my friend !
New to your channel not that we are vegetarian or vegan but dog lovers, subscribed and like keep up the good work you do
❤
I am here for you. People think they can say what they want....it's your channel, your talent and your sweet puppy. Just block 'em, they don't deserve to watch you. 💞 And when I'm wanting some gentle energy, and to learn something, I watch your videos .
You are so kind
I LOVE how your dog is part of your videos! And I ❤ your ink. -not that it matters, but you are doing what you do out of compassion for other lives and that matters more than pretty much anything. ✌️
6:54 "The ignorance is GLARING" 🔆☀️✨️ 😂 I love your style
You have our hearts too! Keep focus on the love. Who can argue against that, really?? 🙏
I absolutely love your cooking… I stop and show my partner your dishes …. He made me your tofu roast potatoes and vegetables yesterday for dinner… incredible! We are vegan and have a Great Pyrenees that is a service dog for seizure detection and assistance for me…. And are Buddhists. We Buddhist, vegan animal loving people are a different kind of breed…. I accept that.
KISS YOUR DOG!!!! People are dumb. THX for your videos. A bright spot in my day.
🙏 Derek, I have made your lentil smashed tacos so many times. My 7 year old loves them so much she asked to even eat them for breakfast once! In fact, thats what's sitting in my fridge atm lol😅. Will try this recipe, too. Btw, i LOVE Francesca and how you show your love, watching it actually destresses me! Please keep doing you. ❤
That is awesome! 🙏🙏
Keep on doing what you're doing. That's why I'm here.
Big love.
You’re bringing peace in a chaotic world. Keep being you !
Big fuss for Frankie too. X
Loving the recipes and the inspiration. My beautiful Irish terrier is vegan too. Thanks for all your hard work 🐕
Those people who do not understand puppy kisses don't have dogs! It's the way they love you! I Love how well you take care of Frankie. She's a lucky girl!
I also love your videos. I learn so much! Thanks!
You are an inspiration Derek. I kiss my Lemon 1000 times a day. And nobody can say anything. I love my dog more than anything in the world!! Your recipes rock!!!❤
More 🐶 kisses!! 😘 And the negative people and their ignorant comments can GTFO. And I love the tattoos! Here’s a tip for those that don’t like them: don’t get one! 😉
Now…that dish!! Yum! 😋😋😋 There aren’t enough hours in the day to eat all the tofu! Your “All-day Breakfast Tart” is my absolute FAV…that’s when I started using mayo when cooking tofu. Game changer!! Breakfast wraps like this are my go-to anytime of the day. I’m drooling. LOL 😂 I can’t wait to make this one…I just need the potatoes!! (I should’ve been born in Idaho.) ♥️✌🏻
The love for you and Ms. Frankie far outweigh any lonely lost souls that have no compassion for themselves or others. Keep reading your comments they are amazing and pour over with gratitude ❤ thanks for yet another mind blowing 🤯 yumminess.
