Derek, you've got this! Please don't worry about us and pushing out more videos when you've already given us so much. I feel like thousands of us have spiritually shown up to help you pack. You are not alone, and I can't wait to see the video of you reuniting with Frankie. I only recently found you here on RUclips, and I am filled with gratitude for you. And I'm grateful that you teach in a patient and compassionate way how I can cook and eat healthier. May your travels be good and the adventures be many. 🧘♀️
Thank you for reminding me why I studied Buddhism in the first place. May all beings be happy and free from suffering and the causes of suffering. 🙏📿 Thank you.
Derek, I came here for the vegan food and have stayed for your frequent posts demonstrating such love and compassion for all beings. Your warmth and vulnerability make you a special voice. And the way you treat and feature Miss Frankie bring me so much joy. I had a black Lab, named Molly, and she was the spitting image of Frankie. Continued blessings to you both, and many happy travels back in the US. ❤️❤️❤️
Man i just dont know how to tell you how much i appreciate you, your cooking skills and how easy you make it for me to copy. Frankie is a very lucky girl. Id almost be willing to wear a dog collar to be treated that well. 😅
Oh, I'm so happy it went well with Frankie! 😍I love you guys. We'll be following your adventures. You've got thousands of friends behind you, Derek and Frankie! You enrich our lives, and we are grateful for it. And you give vegans a good rep on top of it. Thank you for all that you do.
I'm so glad you were able to do the K9 flight. I've been worried about Frankie getting stuck in a cargo hold. Love your food ideas and good luck with the move!
Derek, I just subscribed. I have been watching you for a while. As a 71 year old home cook, I am not a vegan, but love to focus on vegetables. I guess my 4H and Home Economic cooking instruction in TX taught me something. Unfortunately, growing up on a ranch provided that unhealthy influence. But, maybe an old dog can learn new tricks! Derek, I love all your recipes and techniques, but my favorite ones are the quick and easy ones like in this episode. I am excited that you are moving back to the USA. We NEED your kindness and understanding.
Bravo, Derek. The lens through which you let us all see through in this video was incredible. May you be free from suffering, may you find eternal happiness. Your new journey begins! ❤
Your loving kindness is so well felt here in my heart . Thank you so very much for your videos with Frankie. It’s always great seeing your recipes come together. Most of all thank you for thinking of us and sharing your skills, ideas and gracefulness. With much appreciation ❤
Just lost my Dog Shada on New Years Day. Haven't wanted to cook, so this is what I needed. Thank you for all you give to us. I'm always grateful. Namaste.
It's so wonderful to see how you care for Frankie getting her on a special flight❤ thank you for sharing this beautiful pictures of Frankie. It melts my heart❤
So happy that you didn't put her in cargo. I worked in a hangar which was an amazing experience, but during that time I was able to see the reality of what the cargo area actually looks like, it is TERRIFYING even when on the ground with the cargo doors open, I couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be for an animal in cargo and we all know how many die down there every year. That K9-Jets looks amazing :)
It literally always brings tears to my eyes seeing how special Frankie is to you. All people should cherish and respect animals. They are truly a gift to us and make our lives so much better.
I stopped making New Year’s resolutions years ago. And the whole manifestation thing doesn’t work unless you actually do the work. So this year, I decide to focus on one word and that word is mindfulness. As a recovering alcoholic and someone who’s trying to live in semi retirement while still having to work because life sucked away all of my retirement funds lol, I find that your words are absolutely true. If we come from a place of gratitude, things usually go in our favor. And when they don’t, we can still deal with them with Grace.
Derek You leave me with such peace. Our Harvey is almost 16. Your Frankie under your love and care will have more longevity. I love the plane ride. Peace ✌🏼
Cheers Derek you only went and made me cry 😢 England's loss for sure. Wishing you all the very best for your travels and thank you for everything you have done and the epic vegan recipes. Give Frankie a kiss from me. Good luck and look forward to seeing you and your van. X
No doubt this is bittersweet for you Derek, moving is so disruptive, emotionally and physically... but it will put a fire under you to know that you will be reunited with Miss America shortly, and that will be a celebration (for us too!!) Thank you for your nutritious videos, we too are grateful and lucky for all that you have shared. I know I speak for the community, but if we can do research or help you out in any way once you reach the States, you know we will be happy to oblige! ( I can cover Upstate New York!) Happy New Year, and wishing you stress free days ahead...
Oh wauw. That looks like a private jet. Sorry to see you go from Europe Derek but I wish you ánd Frankie all the best! Keep on following you. Hug from the Netherlands ❤
So happy for Frankie that she was able to have a safe and anxiety free flight. I hope that yours is as well. This is awesome - a quick, creative recipe involving a cheap pantry staple. Can't wait to try it, Thank you!
Oh nooo...at least Frankie is at Best Buddies Camp and is being spoiled. What blessing K9 Airlines is!! So while you're functioning through the chaos of transition, you're going to have to spoil yourself since Frankie isn't there to do it and you'll need to mindfully be kind to yourself. Thank you for including us on your journey and for caring deeply about our health and the animals. You're Good People.❤
I love your channel so much and so very glad I found you and Frankie last year. You’ve inspired my cooking and my journey to a completely plant-based diet. As an American who lived in the UK, I now traverse the Atlantic regularly, always leaving pieces of my heart in both places (with maybe a few more bits staying in Scotland). Watching your transition from the UK back to the States makes me emotional sometimes as I’m vicariously re-living my experience. Thank you for your words on gratitude in this video - they resonated so strongly. I lost my mom in February of 2024. During the last 8 mos of her life I was so lucky to have the gift of living with her; laughing and talking every day. Since then I’ve been tying up her estate and gratitude has been a challenge. Your insights have inspired me to begin 2025 by living in graciousness and gratitude. My own traveling life begins again with a trip back to Scotland at the end of the month and from there - well, whatever opens up before me. I look so forward to seeing your adventures with Frankie as wanderers across America. Simultaneously, I’ll be sad to see you leave the UK, but also have an understanding of the things that drive a person to make those big leaps. Thanks so much for your inspiration and sharing your passions❤
Not cool, Chef - you made me cry!! The soup made me drool, I'm a mess!! K9 flight, what an ultimate idea and experience, you both deserve it! (They are all emotional support partners, ya know?) Stoked to see the next chapter, all the very, very best to you and Miss America!! Wishing you speedy packing!
THANK YOU !! THANK YOU for getting her her own seat!!!!! I posted to get her a seat and fly her with you when you posted you were moving and didn't know if you saw it! I am SO happy you found a jet that does it from the UK to here! You are the best!
You are the one person I've found that loves your baby as much as I love my baby, I have a black cat and I just want to spend every minute with her! I turned vegan for her! Thank you for being an inspiration and all of Frankie's funny little thoughts haha.
Hey, Derek. My fiancé (and 2 cats) watch your videos often while we eat. As a professional chef of 15 years, I really appreciate your technique and simple sensibility in the kitchen. We're both long-time vegans and work in animal rights. Thank you for taking care of Frankie on her journey. I wish you all the best and safe travels to the US.
Ah, I know you are here on youtube no matter the location, but I will strangely miss you presenting from the proximity of U.K. as I live a hop and skip across the sea in Ireland and I enjoy the familiarity of your ingredient and situational references. Was very happy to see Frankie travelled in comfort and safety to U.S. and that she is being well cared for until you guys reunite soon again. My little dog is headed for surgery next week and I am trying to spoil her as much as I can before her difficult days set in. You are right- we have their friendship for such a tiny time and making every day count is a great approach. Best of luck with the packing and move homewards and don't forget to bare us Euros in mind when you are talking cooking temps and ingredients! Tomorrow's dinner...Ramen!!!!!!!! Yum yum.
"May all beings be happy and free from suffering and the causes of suffering." Indeed. Sending you peace and serenity as you go through the process of moving. Your reunion with Miss America will be stellar!
Cannot imagine a day without some Frankie love for you. You are the best dad !!! shed your treasures to make way for the new. A Grateful voyage awaits .
My heart is full when I watch these videos. We have completely loved our fur babies, and I just can't figure out how you would do it any other way than full hearted!!!! Anyway, your meals are amazing...but more importantly, your soul is good. Hurry home to Miss America!
I did wonder if Frankie would have to go into quarantine so it's fantastic to see she flew in her 'own' private jet and is already having fun in the snow! I shall be making this dish very soon
Absolutely True! Being in a state of gratitude does not allow for negative feelings. It just takes a little practice but will make a huge change in your life. Thank you for sharing about Frankie - you are an amazing Dad! I hope you will be reunited with her soon. I look forward to all of your videos.
You nearly had me when you said you had to say goodbye to Frankie. Had to stop watching to read the comments to find out why. You’re a kind man. Frankie got to travel in style and soon you’ll be together. Now, back to the video. 😜
Oh no! If I miss Frankie, I know you really must. If my dogs are boarded and I have to pick them up the next day or something, I really don't like the feel of my apartment without them. ❤
Dearest Derek - you are a fabulous human being - you are authentic & real & I truly am lucky to watch your channel. We are all trying to find our way & live our best life with love & care for each other & our wonderful fur babies. Love & blessings to you & Miss America I cannot wait to see you reunite & follow your next adventure with her by your side ❤❤❤
❤I’m so happy you found a way to move Frankie without having to put her in the bottom of a plane. It’s painful to miss your best friend, very quiet in the house. I can’t wait to pick mine up from boarding. Happy travels and in Texas we’ll keep the light on. PS working on the grateful part. 🙏✌️🌱🐾
I haven't had ramen since the 70's in NYC. I forgot about it. I remember my friend making us bowls of it with snow peas over 40 years ago... everything old is new again! It's on my menu! Thanks for elevating simplicity. Grateful 4 U!
Thank you, Derek! Every time I watch your videos I get a feeling of tranquility and peace...and love. I am so grateful that people like you still exist in this world.🙏 I wish you nothing but the best in your new chapter In the States and many years ahead of you filled with love and cuddles and kisses next to your beloved Frankie💖
Hope by now you’re back with Miss America and the kisses lasted hours! ❤❤❤ Lots of good wishes packing up and letting go of things you can’t take with you.
I hope you have a safe and stress free move bank to the US. I lived in the UK for 20 years, and I'm now back in the Boston area. I visit the UK frequently, and what you did with the WICKED products is fabulous! I personally think the plant based products in the major supermarkets in the UK are better than ours here. You did so much bringing WICKED to Tesco. My daughter, who still lives there, and her family are big fans, as am I. Peace.
Timing is everything. Last week I told my husband that I loved watching your vids because in addition to showing great food, you were living my ideal existence: English cottage, wonderful dog, mad vegan chef skills, and neighbors you like to feed. And now you go and ruin it all by moving back to the States! Erf! Welcome back--you've picked a heck of time to return. Can't wait to see all you have in store for us in the future. Don't leave your skateboard knife behind!
What you said about gratitude for you being always present and leaving no room for anything else (I might be using my own words there) took my breath away because gratitude and ONLY gratitude keeps me from lingering every minute in my despair and grief-numbing pain wanting my son who was killed in a car accident 1/3/2003 but that's only calendar time, not my time. And YOU making that statement, with the ever-present loss of your beloved, comforts me that I'm not alone, a different grief dynamic for each of us yes - but how it seems that gratitude is what has kept us going in spite of mind-blowing loss. Thank you for that. You make my world.
I get it Derek. I love the little guy who demanded I adopt him as much as you love Miss Frankie. Happy you found a safe transport for her. That's one of the first things I thought if when you said you were moving. Safe travels to you too!! ❤❤❤
Safe travels to you and Frankie back here to America! I’ve never heard of K9 airlines before. What an amazing business! Better for both of you on your trip for the big move. Blessings to you both and all your friends back in the UK that will miss you like crazy! It’s going to be ok. We are happy to have you back here in America. May your new home be full of love! Lots of love to you and Frankie! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🐾🐾♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Frankie is on a retreat , I bet she is smiling. I enjoy all your cooking videos . But what I enjoy and feel is lacking from other cooking videos is your words of wisdom , I too feel it is much appreciated and needed. Thank you
This video made my day! Derek, you are one of the kindest humans out there. Your love for Frankie melts my heart, and I love how you brought her back home. Thanks for the great recipe, and I hope you get home and back to that beautiful Frankie as soon as possible. I am sure she misses you as much as you miss her. Safe travels! 🐾💗🐾
Lots of love to Miss America. We lost our Benny Boo after a long illness just after Christmas (he didn't suffer and it was time), but our lives are still full with Jerry and Margo, naughty, naughty Margo, so we are grateful that they give us so much joy. Get back to that young lady ASAP!
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)! 🐕🤩🍄
Derek and Miss America- I’m grateful for you both. I love these quick, simple, nutritious meals. This will be going in my weekly rotation for sure. 🐶♥️🙏🏻
I've been vegetarian for a few years now, but never quite knew how to do more than stir fry. Your videos have taught me new skills with ingredients I'd never considered. And darn it, I'm feeling so much better as a result. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Bless you Derek, I wish you a speedy reunion with Frankie in 🇺🇸, looks like she’s having a better time than you right now. All the very best from your ‘friend’ Zoe in South Africa 🇿🇦🙏🏻
I wish you all the best in the next chapter of your life. Just to say, I really like the way you teach cooking (and cleaning). Thank you for bring the best dad to the fabulous Miss America. 😊
Dear Derek,This made me cry,but in a good way! Thank you for the ending,and the lovely clips of Frankie's journey.Also all the pals you and Frankie made whilst living in the UK... there's something in the combination of your channel that is unique and life affirming. Blessings and abundance follow your grateful heart into this New Year to be reunited soon with your best pal.... I'm as 75 year old UK expat living in central Portugal and will enjoy following you adventures..!
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. 🕊️
Grateful for people like you in the world. It's nice to begin and end the day on a positive note. Wishing you and Frankie all the best. Happy moving. 😊
You are such an amazing, genuine person. I have learned so much from you, not just the cooking and techniques. The love between you and Frankie is such a beautiful thing. That K9 jet looked awesome, all dogs should be able to fly this way. Looking forward to following yours and Frankie's next adventure. Safe 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! ❤❤
Thank you 🙏 Kindness is very needed these days and you express it so well. I am afraid you are returning to America just as we enter our lowest time. May you always have peace.
Frankie is the absolute luckiest dog in the world. I also couldn't fly my dogs under a plane. I don't even travel.. At all... Because i can't leave them. You're truly the best, Derek. Just love you!
Miss Frankie will be demanding private jets all the time now! You’ve created a monster, Derek 😂 (Glad she arrived safely! Can’t wait for the reunion on this side of the pond ❤)
I love how you love Miss Frankie! Dogs are NOT cargo! You're the best doggy daddy! Just bought the ingredients for this luscious veggie ramen. Gratitude sets the best mood! Thank you for being you and for sharing with all of us! Extra hugs to you and Miss Frankie!💚💚💚
The sky’s the limit for this gorgeous girl!❤ Love is in the air and how happy she looks!✈️ A beautiful closing of one chapter, ready for you both to begin the next great adventure…x 🐾
Why IS soup always better the next day? A mystery of the universe! You did right by that doggie in sending her back Stateside, as we knew you would, and I wish you both a happy, healthy 2025! Thanks for posting!
Living alone and so thankful for these quickie healthful meals you teach me. Someone told me, many years ago, to use Gratitude as a Verb. ❤ In NoCalifornia and wishing you a warm welcome home. 🌈🎊🥰
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 🙏🏽
What a heartwarming video this is! I watched it several times through tears. What a well-behaved, beautiful girl you have there accompanying you through your meaningful life. I totally get it that you searched for humane options to bring Frankie home. She truly enjoyed this adventure with you. I wish both of you a fast reunion. Take good care of yourself during this move. I am so grateful for your kindness and awesome recipes❤
Derek, please capture the moment you reunite with Frankie 🙏
You are officially my favorite person. Anyone who treats their dog as you do is just the BEST!!!
I second that😊
Me too. Beautiful ❤
Love this simple soup! Will be lunch tomorrow. I love your love for Miss America and her love for you. Makes my heart sing!!!!
100%
Seriously!!! Yes!!!!
Derek, you've got this!
Please don't worry about us and pushing out more videos when you've already given us so much.
I feel like thousands of us have spiritually shown up to help you pack. You are not alone, and I can't wait to see the video of you reuniting with Frankie.
I only recently found you here on RUclips, and I am filled with gratitude for you. And I'm grateful that you teach in a patient and compassionate way how I can cook and eat healthier.
May your travels be good and the adventures be many.
🧘♀️
Perfectly said.❤
Holding sacred space for you and miss amazing.
Thank you for reminding me why I studied Buddhism in the first place. May all beings be happy and free from suffering and the causes of suffering. 🙏📿 Thank you.
I’m 71. Life is too short. You are my favorite utube channel. Wishing you all the best in your new adventure!
Derek, you're a very good and kind man and Frankie is the most Beautiful Miss America ❤❤
OMG! You booked a flight for you and Frankie together!! How awesome is that!! 💕♥💕♥🙏🙏🙏🙏👏😃
Once and a lifetime experience
@@DerekSarnoChef No, dude - you work hard, do it every chance you get! Life is short, kiss a furbaby! 🥰
Derek, I came here for the vegan food and have stayed for your frequent posts demonstrating such love and compassion for all beings. Your warmth and vulnerability make you a special voice.

I'm glad Frankie had a safe trip. She deserves special treatment for being so sweet. :)
Man i just dont know how to tell you how much i appreciate you, your cooking skills and how easy you make it for me to copy.
Frankie is a very lucky girl. Id almost be willing to wear a dog collar to be treated that well. 😅
Oh, I'm so happy it went well with Frankie! 😍I love you guys. We'll be following your adventures. You've got thousands of friends behind you, Derek and Frankie! You enrich our lives, and we are grateful for it. And you give vegans a good rep on top of it. Thank you for all that you do.
I'm so glad you were able to do the K9 flight. I've been worried about Frankie getting stuck in a cargo hold. Love your food ideas and good luck with the move!

Just lost my Dog Shada on New Years Day. Haven't wanted to cook, so this is what I needed. Thank you for all you give to us. I'm always grateful. Namaste.
So sorry for your loss 💔
Dedicated to Shada 🙏
I am so sorry to see this news. What a dreadfully sad time for you.
@bosvigos9165 Thank you for your kindness
I'm sorry for your loss.
Sweet dreams, Shada.
It's so wonderful to see how you care for Frankie getting her on a special flight❤ thank you for sharing this beautiful pictures of Frankie. It melts my heart❤
She soaks up all the love ❤️

Grateful for your recipes
*I bought myself your cookbook for Christmas
I absolutely love it.
Thanks so much
Not cool, Chef - you made me cry!! The soup made me drool, I'm a mess!! K9 flight, what an ultimate idea and experience, you both deserve it! (They are all emotional support partners, ya know?)

Lord, seeing Miss America on her plane ride got me all verklempt. You’re a good dog dad.
Ah, I know you are here on youtube no matter the location, but I will strangely miss you presenting from the proximity of U.K. as I live a hop and skip across the sea in Ireland and I enjoy the familiarity of your ingredient and situational references.
Was very happy to see Frankie travelled in comfort and safety to U.S. and that she is being well cared for until you guys reunite soon again.
My little dog is headed for surgery next week and I am trying to spoil her as much as I can before her difficult days set in. You are right- we have their friendship for such a tiny time and making every day count is a great approach.
Best of luck with the packing and move homewards and don't forget to bare us Euros in mind when you are talking cooking temps and ingredients!
Tomorrow's dinner...Ramen!!!!!!!! Yum yum.
Love coming your way, Frankie. Yours, too, Chef!

Delish--making this today! I'm so happy to hear how Frankie was transported. Well worth the two year savings.
Just love you and Frankie. Grateful that you have let us into your life.
Absolutely, well said!
My heart is full when I watch these videos. We have completely loved our fur babies, and I just can't figure out how you would do it any other way than full hearted!!!! Anyway, your meals are amazing...but more importantly, your soul is good. Hurry home to Miss America!
I did wonder if Frankie would have to go into quarantine so it's fantastic to see she flew in her 'own' private jet and is already having fun in the snow!
I shall be making this dish very soon
No quarantine going from UK to US 👍
That must have been a pretty fun trip together! Yay! Frankie is now all settled. We are lucky to have you come to America! England will miss you!
Absolutely True! Being in a state of gratitude does not allow for negative feelings. It just takes a little practice but will make a huge change in your life. Thank you for sharing about Frankie - you are an amazing Dad! I hope you will be reunited with her soon.
I look forward to all of your videos.

We are all trying to find our way & live our best life with love & care for each other & our wonderful fur babies. Love & blessings to you & Miss America I cannot wait to see you reunite & follow your next adventure with her by your side ❤❤❤
Frankie will soon be relieved with you by her side! She has wonderful friends by her side! Much health, much wealth❤
❤I’m so happy you found a way to move Frankie without having to put her in the bottom of a plane. It’s painful to miss your best friend, very quiet in the house. I can’t wait to pick mine up from boarding. Happy travels and in Texas we’ll keep the light on.
PS working on the grateful part. 🙏✌️🌱🐾
I haven't had ramen since the 70's in NYC.
I forgot about it. I remember my friend making us bowls of it with snow peas over 40 years ago... everything old is new again! It's on my menu! Thanks for elevating simplicity. Grateful 4 U!
Thanks for the reminder and I’m grateful for you. Nice tip on the ladle. I’ll think of you 😉
Hugs to Frankie ❤❤. The love for your animals is the best you can experience in life. So happy to remind us how be grateful
Thank you, Derek!
Every time I watch your videos I get a feeling of tranquility and peace...and love. I am so grateful that people like you still exist in this world.🙏 I wish you nothing but the best in your new chapter In the States and many years ahead of you filled with love and cuddles and kisses next to your beloved Frankie💖
Hope by now you’re back with Miss America and the kisses lasted hours! ❤❤❤ Lots of good wishes packing up and letting go of things you can’t take with you.
"the apple of my eye" stop it, derek. you making me cry 😢 i miss my dog bubu so much. i hope you and miss america reunite very-very soon! ❤
Thank you for being such an awesome dog dad and putting Frankie's needs first. You are amazing.
I hope you have a safe and stress free move bank to the US. I lived in the UK for 20 years, and I'm now back in the Boston area. I visit the UK frequently, and what you did with the WICKED products is fabulous! I personally think the plant based products in the major supermarkets in the UK are better than ours here. You did so much bringing WICKED to Tesco. My daughter, who still lives there, and her family are big fans, as am I.
Peace.
Timing is everything. Last week I told my husband that I loved watching your vids because in addition to showing great food, you were living my ideal existence: English cottage, wonderful dog, mad vegan chef skills, and neighbors you like to feed. And now you go and ruin it all by moving back to the States! Erf! Welcome back--you've picked a heck of time to return. Can't wait to see all you have in store for us in the future. Don't leave your skateboard knife behind!
What you said about gratitude for you being always present and leaving no room for anything else (I might be using my own words there) took my breath away because gratitude and ONLY gratitude keeps me from lingering every minute in my despair and grief-numbing pain wanting my son who was killed in a car accident 1/3/2003 but that's only calendar time, not my time. And YOU making that statement, with the ever-present loss of your beloved, comforts me that I'm not alone, a different grief dynamic for each of us yes - but how it seems that gratitude is what has kept us going in spite of mind-blowing loss. Thank you for that. You make my world.
I get it Derek. I love the little guy who demanded I adopt him as much as you love Miss Frankie. Happy you found a safe transport for her. That's one of the first things I thought if when you said you were moving. Safe travels to you too!! ❤❤❤
Safe travels to you and Frankie back here to America! I’ve never heard of K9 airlines before. What an amazing business! Better for both of you on your trip for the big move. Blessings to you both and all your friends back in the UK that will miss you like crazy!
It’s going to be ok.
We are happy to have you back here in America.
May your new home be full of love!
Lots of love to you and Frankie!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🐾🐾♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love how much you love Frankie, and you are an incredible inspiration for living a healthy, positive life.
Frankie is on a retreat , I bet she is smiling. I enjoy all your cooking videos . But what I enjoy and feel is lacking from other cooking videos is your words of wisdom , I too feel it is much appreciated and needed. Thank you
This video made my day! Derek, you are one of the kindest humans out there. Your love for Frankie melts my heart, and I love how you brought her back home. Thanks for the great recipe, and I hope you get home and back to that beautiful Frankie as soon as possible. I am sure she misses you as much as you miss her. Safe travels! 🐾💗🐾
Lots of love to Miss America. We lost our Benny Boo after a long illness just after Christmas (he didn't suffer and it was time), but our lives are still full with Jerry and Margo, naughty, naughty Margo, so we are grateful that they give us so much joy. Get back to that young lady ASAP!
I’m so sorry about Benny Boo. It’s so hard when they go even when it’s peaceful.
Hugs. Hugs. Hugs
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)! 🐕🤩🍄
Can’t wait to hear all about your US adventures! And so glad Frankie made it back safely and in style. Welcome back soon!
Thank you!!
Derek and Miss America- I’m grateful for you both. I love these quick, simple, nutritious meals. This will be going in my weekly rotation for sure.
🐶♥️🙏🏻
Blessings to you to providing safe travel for your beloved dog.
I will make note of that plane service. I pray you two are reunited soon.
I've been vegetarian for a few years now, but never quite knew how to do more than stir fry. Your videos have taught me new skills with ingredients I'd never considered. And darn it, I'm feeling so much better as a result. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Bless you Derek, I wish you a speedy reunion with Frankie in 🇺🇸, looks like she’s having a better time than you right now. All the very best from your ‘friend’ Zoe in South Africa 🇿🇦🙏🏻
I wish you all the best in the next chapter of your life.
Just to say, I really like the way you teach cooking (and cleaning).
Thank you for bring the best dad to the fabulous Miss America. 😊
Dear Derek,This made me cry,but in a good way! Thank you for the ending,and the lovely clips of Frankie's journey.Also all the pals you and Frankie made whilst living in the UK... there's something in the combination of your channel that is unique and life affirming. Blessings and abundance follow your grateful heart into this New Year to be reunited soon with your best pal.... I'm as 75 year old UK expat living in central Portugal and will enjoy following you adventures..!
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. 🕊️
Grateful for people like you in the world. It's nice to begin and end the day on a positive note. Wishing you and Frankie all the best. Happy moving. 😊
You are such an amazing, genuine person. I have learned so much from you, not just the cooking and techniques. The love between you and Frankie is such a beautiful thing. That K9 jet looked awesome, all dogs should be able to fly this way. Looking forward to following yours and Frankie's next adventure. Safe travels. 🌿🌱💚
Thanks for remind us about thankfulness!
Always!
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! ❤❤
This may be dinner tonight. Thanks! Frankie looks so happy. What a sweetheart. Can't wait to see you reunited!
Thank you 🙏 Kindness is very needed these days and you express it so well. I am afraid you are returning to America just as we enter our lowest time. May you always have peace.
Frankie is the absolute luckiest dog in the world. I also couldn't fly my dogs under a plane. I don't even travel..
At all...
Because i can't leave them.
You're truly the best, Derek. Just love you!
Frankie was having a blast!!! Awesome. Sending love to you and Frankie ❤❤
Miss Frankie will be demanding private jets all the time now! You’ve created a monster, Derek 😂 (Glad she arrived safely! Can’t wait for the reunion on this side of the pond ❤)
Thank you! You are amazing and I appreciate your kind philosophy and humane delicious cooking. May this transition go quickly and smoothly for you.
Safe travels and hope that you can reunite with Frankie soon.
We can't wait to see you begin the next chapter with Frankie! ❤ Safe and happy travels!
I love how you love Miss Frankie! Dogs are NOT cargo! You're the best doggy daddy! Just bought the ingredients for this luscious veggie ramen. Gratitude sets the best mood! Thank you for being you and for sharing with all of us! Extra hugs to you and Miss Frankie!💚💚💚
The sky’s the limit for this gorgeous girl!❤ Love is in the air and how happy she looks!✈️ A beautiful closing of one chapter, ready for you both to begin the next great adventure…x 🐾
Why IS soup always better the next day? A mystery of the universe! You did right by that doggie in sending her back Stateside, as we knew you would, and I wish you both a happy, healthy 2025! Thanks for posting!
Living alone and so thankful for these quickie healthful meals you teach me.
Someone told me, many years ago, to use Gratitude as a Verb. ❤
In NoCalifornia and wishing you a warm welcome home. 🌈🎊🥰
Keep in touch.good luck with your move. X
Thank you, I will definitely just might take a little bit 🫶
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 🙏🏽
We love you Franks! He will be with you soon!!!
Thank you Derek. I appreciate you and your honesty...
That’s what I’m going to make for supper! Frankie is so beautiful and I love the bond you have with her. ❤
What a heartwarming video this is! I watched it several times through tears. What a well-behaved, beautiful girl you have there accompanying you through your meaningful life. I totally get it that you searched for humane options to bring Frankie home. She truly enjoyed this adventure with you. I wish both of you a fast reunion. Take good care of yourself during this move. I am so grateful for your kindness and awesome recipes❤
A loved dog is a wonderful thing 💕
