My two rescues, Jazz and Little Bit, are being treated with herbs, supplements and specialty eye drops. I’ll be updating you on their process. If surgery can be avoided and normal or near normal vision can be restored using herbs, supplements and specialty eye drops, wouldn’t that be wonderful. Check back to see how things are coming along. Today is December 2nd, 2013 and the treatments have begun.

A message from the President of Kinder Harbors Animal Sanctuary…

Good Day and Welcome to the Debut of the All New Kinder Harbors Animal Sanctuary website.  We’re happy you came to visit.  Within you will find a site totally devoted to animal compassion and the welfare of all animals.  Kinder Harbors never veers from its mission – and that is helping every animal attain the happiest, healthiest and fullest life possible.  We hope you are ready to join us in this journey of sensitivity and recognition.  As you may have noticed, the world is changing in some of the most dramatic ways imaginable.  Only 35 years ago, the state of animal rescue and welfare was an afterthought or no thought at all –just a little wisp of a notion.  I know because that’s when my animal journey began – in January of 1979.  That’s the year I also became a vegetarian and vegetarianism was also a foreign concept.  But today, enlightenment is dawning as we’ve never seen it dawn before.  Across the world, in sweeping acknowledgements, cultures that have been previously oblivious to animal suffering and quality of life are awakening and caring.  Wow, what a concept, caring.  It’s exhilarating to see the earth’s cultures changing.  It’s also exhilarating to see the animals benefiting and to witness the alleviation of suffering.  I can’t think of one country on the planet that doesn’t have an animal betterment program, mission or direction.  Some areas have more work to do than others but they have begun.  In the United States, in the last 35 years, every town, city, county and state is keenly aware that animal suffering, abuse and mistreatment is never acceptable.  Our country has been a shining example of how huge a cause can become.  We’ve gone from a handful of animal organizations back in 1979 to thousands of animal welfare organizations today.  Check out KHAS’s Other Rescue Orgs page and you’ll see what I mean.  I could talk about the excitement and the incredible growth all day long, but I suspect you get my drift.  In closing, let me say, I hope and wish for you, the same internal peace, replica handbags tranquility and fulfillment that I’ve attained as a caring animal person.  For caring sensitivity and compassion will always be the preferred state of existence you should provide your soul with.  It’s the journey into realms you can’t even imagine until you experience them.  And now, I sincerely hope our new website and mission will encourage and inspire you to begin this journey.

3 Tbs. water for sautéing
3 sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 1/2″ cubes
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
1 can (15 oz.) red kidney beans, drained & rinsed
2 red bell peppers, seeded & cut into 1/2″ squares
1 can (15 oz.) diced tomatoes or 2 fresh, diced
1/2-3/4 cup smooth or crunchy natural peanut butter
1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 tsp. light brown sugar
4 cups vegetable stock
1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
fresh cilantro, chopped (optional – for garnish)
unsalted peanuts, chopped (optional – for garnish)

1. Heat water in a soup pot over medium heat; add onions and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes; add bell peppers, cover, and cook until softened, about 5 more minutes.
2. Stir in brown sugar, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
3. Stir in peanut butter, and distribute it evenly throughout. Hint: You may want to thin out the peanut butter first by mixing it with some water in a small bowl before adding it to the pot (it will make it easier to incorporate into the stew).
4. Add sweet potatoes, kidney beans, and tomatoes, and stir to coat.
5. Add vegetable stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes.
6. Taste and add salt or other seasonings, if necessary. Serve in individual bowls and top with chopped nuts and cilantro, if desired.
7. Serve over quinoa, brown rice or couscous

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced
4 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, chopped
3 large celery stalks, chopped
3 medium carrots
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped
5 to 6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons pepper
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
vegetable stock, as needed
1/4 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, crushed
1 bunch cilantro

1. Begin by heating a sauce pan to medium heat. When the pan is ready, add the oil and wait several seconds for it to warm. Add the onion and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the onions appear translucent. When the onions are ready, add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until it becomes fragrant. Finally, add the curry and cayenne, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute.

2. Transfer the cooked onions and garlic to a large pot, then add the chopped sweet potatoes, celery, carrots, and peeled tomatoes. Add enough water to the pot so that the vegetables are submerged beneath about 1″ water. Set heat to high and boil for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and a broth has been created.

3. Let broth and vegetables cool, then add to blender or food processor, along with peanut butter. Process until smooth. Transfer blended ingredients back into a pot and heat on medium until the soup is warm. Add vegetable broth to thin mixture, if desired.

4. Garnish soup with chopped, fresh cilantro and the crushed peanuts. Serve warm and enjoy!
