What you need to make the meatballs:
2 large mild Italian sausages (remove casings) 1 egg (lightly beaten) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp garlic salt 1/2 cup bread crumbs or crushed corn flakes 1/8 to 1/4 cup milk |
What you need to make the soup:
4 cups chicken broth 1 tbs tomato paste 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (do not use extra!) 1/2 cup mini pasta shells a few handfuls of chopped spinach |
|
What you do:
Lightly beat egg in a medium size bowl. Remove the casings from the sausage and add to the egg. Combine cheese, basil, black pepper and garlic salt. Mix together with a fork. Add bread crumbs or crushed corn flakes, alternating with milk, until firm consistency is achieved. Roll into small balls and bake at 350° for 20 to 30 mins. In a large pot bring chicken broth, tomato paste, minced garlic and red pepper flakes to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and add meatballs and pasta shells. Cover and cook until pasta is tender. Add desired amount of chopped spinach to the pot, just prior to serving. Top with a little Parmesan cheese. |

Mother Earth by Raven Darkmoon, SageWoman Magazine, 1995
|
The Earth is truly our Mother and she cradles us, her many children, in her arms. She magically provides everything we require to survive and thrive; just as any Mother does for her Child. Everyone and every living thing on Earth benefits from Mother Earth's love and care; but as always, "Mother Knows Best" and things work out best for us when we listen to Her.
Remember to honour Mother Earth by taking her advice and weaving respect for Her into your days. Appreciate what She gives and use it wisely. Can you walk instead of drive? You conserve the energy in your car's tank for another day; while connecting with the Earth beneath your feet. You gain the opportunity to observe Mother Nature and learn from Her; even in the harshest of urban settings. Can you tend to your garden today? She will bring forth food for your table, trees for shade and flowers of heavenly beauty and aroma to transcend your spirit. (Remember a garden is anywhere, inside or out, where ever you can encourage a plant to grow.) Are you building a structure? Be cognizant of how it will impact the Mother's children. Does it leave little hiding spots for birds and light for plants to survive around it? Or maybe you can hang your laundry out to dry? Then you are aware of the Mother's gift of sun and wind to dry your clothes. Or is it raining as it is here today? Sit and listen to the life-giving water that Mother is providing to her children. Just a few thoughts to help you find the Great Mother Goddess, Mother Earth or Mother Nature today - however you address Her!
