      Our family took our quarantine time to create a cookbook of our favorite meals to benefit those most in need, donating proceeds to Feeding America, the nation's largest and most effective organization dedicated to fighting domestic hunger through a network of food banks. Each book purchased will provide up to 100 meals. This book is meant to give ideas for creating delicious, flavorful foods that take very little effort and the whole family loves. We also included the influence of one of our town's best, local ingredients we pick up straight from the boats on the dock - lobster! It wouldn't be a family cookbook without the whole family participating as key grips, food stylists and taste testers. My daughter Cristina (16) was food photographer; Chauncey (19) was creative director; and, my nieces Carlisle (22), Cate (19) and Caroline (16) took the lead with naming and food styling. Noni (76) cooked, tasted and edited, edited, and edited until she couldn't take it anymore. Pop (76) just tasted. We loved working on our project...together. We hope you enjoy this peek into our family recipes, all while helping others. Proceeds are donated to the non-profit hunger relief organization, Feeding America

    • The pregnancy resource you can trust: medically reliable information and mom-to-mom advice. If you're seeking genuine insights on pregnancy, this is the book for you! Drs. Yvonne Bohn, Allison Hill, and Alane Park, three leading obstetricians, have welcomed over 10,000 babies into the world and have also experienced the joys and anxieties of pregnancy themselves. They share everything you need to know about this life-changing journey. Written in a clear, friendly style, this guide offers the most current medical guidance, real-life stories from new moms, and practical tips from the Docs' office. From pre-conception to postpartum, you'll find answers to pressing questions: Can birth control pills cause fertility problems? When will I start showing? Which prenatal tests are necessary? Is my baby getting the right nutrition? Can I touch a cat, eat sushi, or color my hair during pregnancy? Is it safe to take medication for a cold? How do I create a birth plan? What if I go into labor alone? Will I need a cesarean delivery again if I had one before? How can I make breastfeeding easier? This comprehensive guide also covers diet, exercise, high-risk pregnancies, and common myths, complete with illustrations of your baby's development, making it a reassuring resource for a healthy, stress-free pregnancy.
