How I Eat Well During Big Changes
Any day Veggie Ramen.
This is Easy to make, very inexpensive, delicious and filling. And you can make it as healthy or indulgent as you want. All the ways, adapt it to what you like.
K9-Jets, if you’re ever wanting to sit with and fly WITH your dog. Expensive but worth saving for, a once in a lifetime experience. And I’m so glad we did it this way.
Recipe:
ANY RAMEN PACK (they’re inexpensive).
I removed the seasoning pack, most all noodles are animal free. Just make your own broth, add your own veggies, beans, tofu, and spices and make extra- I always get two or three meals outta one pack. It’s that easy and I eat it all the time when I don’t want to fuss about.
This is dedicated to the lovely Frankie – Ms America who I miss dearly when she is not near.
Thanks for watching and supporting and for being kind. We are grateful.
May all being have happiness and the cause of happiness.
May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.

Looks good, but nutritionally a bit questionable. It doesn't give you all the amino acids you need, and it's quite carb heavy.
We can't wait to see you begin the next chapter with Frankie! ❤ Safe and happy travels!
Many thanks for your generosity here with all of us! The Frankie flight looks amazing. Good luck with the rest of your move and wishing you and Frankie a happy and creative 2025! ❤❤
I haven't cooked any of your meals yet, although you are a big inspiration. But I just love your calm authentic self and just make me feel hopeful, grateful, whatever I need to feel. Thank you ❤
Those of us who have moved understand.
I love watching you cook.
Now that’s my way to fly—a plane with people and their dogs not packed together like sardines!! When we moved from St Louis to Germany for about three years in 1996, of course we took our wire-haired fox terrier. He was in a crate where they put dogs—I don’t even know if there was a way to do it differently. I do have to say that he appeared to tolerate it very well, and made the trip three more times. I hope that you are able to get back to your beautiful Frankie without delay!! ❤
Good luck with your move Derek. I just moved before Christmas. It’s a horrible thing to go through. Especially with animals. I have two kittens who were stressed for a couple of weeks but thankfully they have settled down now and are enjoying climbing over boxes and exploring their new home. I did the packing by myself. Yuk. I’m now living on my sister’s property who is helping me unpack. I love your videos and your compassion. I wish more people would understand that we don’t need to hurt and eat animals to survive. Good luck on your return home and the best for you and Frankie’s new adventures. Looking forward to seeing your new videos when you have time. ❤😊 Happy New Year
You’re altogether, a lovely human being. I’ll look forward to your next video! Have a safe, and excellent journey back to this way. Safe travels for you, and beautiful Frankie. 🕊️
Wow! K9 Flight! That is awesome! As a multi pet owner, not sure how i could move overseas. Cant imagine getting rid of everything! That has to be hard. Cant wait to see you here back in the states! May God protect you and Frankie.
I just recently found you on youtube. Love your videos, cant wait to try your recipes!! Thank you!
You seem SO happy! That's good to see. Safe travels.
Yesterday at PDX airport we had the best smoked tomato soup from the Country Cat. Then we and the service dog, Finn, flew home to LA. Finn gets to fly in the cabin. Pomeranian and an excellent traveler. Good luck on your move and reunion with Frankie. She’s gorgeous. 🎉❤
Big moves! Big changes! Love how you flew with Frankie! Can't wait for you to land and be with her again and sharing in your new adventures together! Much love to you both ❤❤
Thank goodness you found the K-9 flight! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 we are grateful for all you do. We look forward to all your new adventures. Take your time, settle into the next phase and we’ll be here. Scrunchies from all of us to Ms America. Welcome home!
Frankie can't tell you in english so i will: thats truly amazing that you did all that to make sure she's comfortable in every way. its beautiful to see. thank you thank you for showing folks how to really care for their companions who can't speak for themselves.
You are the most thankful person I know and see in your videos,please have a nice trip and hop to see you soon for the next chapter. Thank you for all the recipes, from Canada Montreal
Love ramen with Vega.
Time for dinner, thinking what the heck to make, saw this video and voila! was eating this nourishing Sarno creation in 15 minutes! You are the absolute best, Derek, and thank you for your offerings.
I adore you even more after this video!!!
I just found you and I love you soul brother 🙏 Thank you for being you and showing your love 💕
I was going to mention K9 Jets. Glad you found them.
Lovely video. 💛 I attended a Buddhist teaching this morning and it was about kindness. A mind of wisdom sees kindness everywhere. From the bodies we have, the ability to speak and walk, the clothes we wear, the phones we hold in our hands, being able to watch the videos you upload, and listening to another kind soul who practices daily compassion. It’s beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏽
I wish you easy miving and safe travels. It is so beautiful and heartwarming to hear how well you treat your furry family member ❤️ it is how it should be! 🙏🤙💫
This solves a challenge many of us have… eating wholesome food when there is no time… you show the way!
Hi, catching up on your videos. We are Brits who have lived in America 17 years. Last 2 years traveling full time in an rv. Looking forward to seeing what you make on the road in America as we are constantly struggling, small town usa is not the same as small town England, lot of times we are lucky if a town has a Dollar General (they are yuk). Help is full time travelers and campers, there's definitely a window of opportunity there for you.
it's freezing in NYC! that soup looks so good! Sweet Frankie is so happy in the snow 💞💞💞💞
You are a beautiful man! Thank you for your contributions to the vegetarian lifestyle and your commitment to your beautiful Frankie! God bless you!
I love your philosophy of life. You adore Frankie the way I adore my keeshund, Charlie.
Hi Derek- I’m interested to see what the new phase will bring you. Also, moving sucks so I feel for ya on that. Cheers to new beginnings and great content!
I wish you a speedy return to Frankie! Love all the videos you do. Your positive outlook is refreshing. Thanks for all you do
I totally get your not wanting to put Miss America in cargo! When we moved from Atlanta to Las Vegas I rented a private airplane because I didn’t want to put my dog in cargo (and no, I’m not independently wealthy. Just lucky enough to have the money in savings to do that.) Do you know if K9 jets has an American equivalent? Such info would be great to have around in case the need arises again.
I started watching you when I decided I need more veggies in my life. How could I resist a chef with a dog that looks like my own crazy boy?! Thanks Derek for sharing your skills and k owlege, and thanks to both of you for making me laugh!
🥰🥰🥰
Your videos always inspire on multiple levels- not the least of which is your love for and devotion to Ms. America! Thank you for your compassion, your incredible food… and for following your heart. I read once that courage is not the absence of fear- it's the realization that something else is more important.
Perhaps you will come to visit the mountains of SC along your travels in the USA- so many amazing trails and waterfalls for Frankie to explore!
Gratitude is indeed the antidote to fear/anxiety. They cannot occupy the same space, for their vibration is obverse. I find that recalling the blessings of the day / the things I am most grateful for is a failsafe way to fall asleep. All the best to you both along your travels- can't wait to see your adventures (no pressure to post though, lol)! 🐕🤩🍄
Ladle tip: might be ok for the professionals but I reckon I’ll burn myself (not a pro 🤣)
You are wonderful for caring about animals and darling Frankie. Good luck and blessings on your journeys. Thank you for sharing your life and recipes ❤
I'm diggin' the long hair! Keep it growing and growing! The look really suits you. 👍
The soup recipe looks awesome but you putting g Frankie on that plane was everything! Please make a video when you reunite with your baby girl! Good luck with packing up!
You scared in the beginning… Enjoy and be well…
Yum! I top my Ramen with Tamari, Sesame Oil & Siracha or Chili sauce. Now I want Ramen tonight. I know you're busy but if you ever do anymore product development can you please create a Tofu Burger? We can't find there here on the US West Coast anymore. My Lukey boi is 14 next week, thanks for showing us Ms. America, she's gorgeous, stay cool
Looks incredibly delicious. welcome back to the United States.
All the best to u and MS America..luv ur food and ethics..God speed to ur new life in USA..XO
Love that you were able to fly together and be by her side during the journey. Side note…. I make this soup too. I use mushrooms and spinach. What state will you be returning to?
I prefer the company of animals over people any day of the week. That being said I really like you! You’re helping me make my transition from eating meat to becoming vegan. I save all your recipes and I love watching what you cook how you cook it and how much you educate us. Looking forward to your next recipe and visit with all of us on YouTube. Safe travels.🐾
I'm so happy you have Miss America 🐕❤
Awe, just love the love you have for your sweet dog — I definitely understand. AND, I adore your recipes — the butternut squash medallions raised me to another epic cooking level in the eyes of my friends over the holidays. So excited for your next chapter …
This made me so hungry I’m going to make some healthy ramen RIGHT NOW.
I am so grateful to connect with you here and learn more ways of enjoying cooking along with you and Frankie. It’s beautiful to see the bond you and your pup share. It’s a joy to see. Wishing you so many blessings for you and Frankie on this new transition. This new path. 🙏🥰🩷🦋🌈
