My friend Carol Irwin works with me at EQ @ The Party Source. Since I've taught it in a couple classes recently, she's been prepping a lot of the Italian Wedding Soup from Amy's Table: Food for Family and Friends. I make a point of stressing that the meatballs should be very small. Carol pulled me aside and said that she was changing the soup's name to "Carol's Divorce Soup" because if she had to make another "teeny tiny" meatball she was leaving! The funny part is, she found herself making it at home the other day. One of her friends suggested using tiny ravioli instead of the ditalini I call for in the recipe. Carol said it's a terrific variation.  For the recipe, visit CETconnect.org and click "Amy's Table".
Best,
Amy

I recently recieved the following email from a listener and I really love her tip about grinding flax seed in a coffee grinder.  I thought I would share her email, I hope this helps!   

Hi, Amy, 

My husband and I love listening to your show each Sunday morning on
our way to Church.  Last Sunday (01/13/08) I heard you talk about the
superfoods and you mentioned that you would have a list of the superfoods on
your site.  But, I cannot locate the list of superfoods.  I have printed off
the list of recipes and cannot wait to make a few of them.  I have already been
using the flax seed and have found that grinding it in a coffee grinder helps to
incorporate it into recipes rather nicely.  I like your idea on spinach.  Thank
you for your ideas.  Can you send me the list of the superfoods? 

Thank you,
Sheryl
