Longtime readers know that farm animal sanctuaries are deeply meaningful to me. While I first gave up meat because of a goat, I didn't go vegan for eight more years, and then it was mostly about me and my health. It was stepping onto sanctuary land and meeting animals face-to-face that truly shifted me. That’s when I knew my vegan path was not just about food, but about living an ethical life rooted in compassion and justice for all beings.
 
If you’re not in New York this weekend but feel moved by the power of ethical veganism, I invite you to support the life-saving work of Asha’s Farm Sanctuary. Donate here.

It may still be spicy-warm in Florida, but I’m leaning into soup season. This is my “gateway” soup into fall: Hot and Sour Tofu Soup Recipe
