The Civilian Conservation Corps was a voluntary government work relief program that offered nearly 3 million unemployed, unmarried men the job of restoring and conserving America's public lands, forests and parks. The wages weren't the only draw--the program also threw in three square meals a day served in the camp mess hall. The Civilian Conservation Corps Cookbook features the recipes that sustained not only the CCC during the Great Depression but also our grandparents and great-grandparents. Budget friendly, with ingredients that can easily be found--if not in your very own pantry then at your local grocer--these recipes reflect the "make do" attitude of Depression-era home cooks.

Recipes born in the city of stars\nLos Angeles is a city where film mingles with food. From healthful salads to sweet treats inspired by California's agricultural bounty, the innovative fare mirrors the rise from a sleepy, western outpost to celluloid dream, where food has always played an award-winning role. The minds behind these delicious treasures include a pauper who reinvented himself as a prince, a penniless single mom who perfected a treasured recipe to create an empire, and a guru who provided good vibes and scandal alongside cold-pressed juices. Bake up the Cocoanut Grove's Coconut Strawberry Cream Tarts and sip a Zombie from the first-ever Tiki bar to create a little Hollywood magic in your own kitchen.\nAmy Bizzarri rolls out the red carpet in celebration of Tinseltown's iconic cuisine.

On July 16, 1194, Chiara Offreduccio was born in the central Italian town of Assisi, Italy. She was the eldest daughter of Favorino Sciffi, a wealthy count, and his wife, Ortolana. Chiara's mother experienced a very difficult labor, but upon praying, the Holy Spirit reassured and promised her "Do not be afraid, for you will give birth in safety to a light that will give light more clearly than light itself and shine brilliantly in the world." How did Clare use her light to change the world? The Smart Girl's Treasury of Saints explores the lives of some of the most fascinating saints in history. Each saint's story is presented in rich historical and cultural context, with artifacts, archival paintings, maps, and timelines, placing the saint into history but also making it easier for smart young girls (and boys) to relate, as they consider what personal qualities they might want to develop as they grow in their own faith. Geared towards children ages 8-12, this easy reader is especially fitting for children on the journey towards First Holy Communion and Confirmation
