If there’s one thing to take away from this, let i If there’s one thing to take away from this, let it be this:

🐾 Animals are sentient. They feel pain, fear, comfort, connection, and love. They are also the most vulnerable beings in our world and deserve the all love and protection we humans can offer.

Next time you’re hugging your dog, think about how lucky they are to be safe in your arms… and then ask yourself: 

Why wouldn’t all animals deserve that same love and care?

There’s no doubt that the Summit for Animals sparked more inspiration for all the 500+ attendees 🐾

🎤Big themes: 
Compassionate leadership, misleading farming practices, access to care, humane education, AI, happy donors, community impact, wildlife coexistence, photojournalism, housing for fur babies, and the future of animal welfare in Canada.

Where are my breakfast-for-dinner people at?! Tof Where are my breakfast-for-dinner people at?!

Tofu scramble for the win again.

This time I used all three tofus 👌
One each: firm, medium, and soft.
It made the best scramble texture.

How to:
	•	Sauté ½ red onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 8 chopped mushrooms, and 1 orange pepper

	•	Add 1 tbsp @shaniseasoning vegan egg spice
or: ½ tsp turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, smoked paprika + 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

	•	Crumble in 3 tofu blocks

	•	Mix together and serve with your favourite sourdough and a mega salad

	•	Top with @sriracha_ca and green onion

💪🏽 20–30 g protein on this beauty plate 🤤

POV: You’re a chef and nutritionist but, keeping u POV: You’re a chef and nutritionist but, keeping up with aesthetic, Instagram-perfect photos with all other life happenings is leading to simply… not posting much.

BUT the passion for sharing PLANT BASED, DELISH NUTRISH food ideas and tips has never left (and never will).

So… real, unpolished, unpresentable, raw posts coming your way. 

Starting with dinner inspo!
