Dane's mark / by Leigh, Lora,author.;
"Katy Chavos refilled coffee cups and made her way around the small diner in Broken Butte, New Mexico heading for that last table at the far corner, placed before two plate glass windows that looked out on the lower end of the main street and the sheriff's office. There were rumors that one of the occupants took that table for the sole purpose of catching sight of the sheriff's wife. But what man would do that while flirting with only her and no one else consistently for three years? Over the years, he'd nearly kissed her several times and she'd known that had been his intention before he'd pulled back from her. He usually came in during the late shifts she worked and spent several hours talking to her. His gaze always seemed to caress her, and he'd touch her hand, her arm. But he always ended up pulling back then as well. Dane Vanderale sat facing the window and his bodyguard, Ryan Desalvo or Rhys as Dane often called him, sat with his back to it, and the sheriff's office. Which could be one of the reasons the gossip was so nasty about why he always took the same booth. So he could watch the sheriff's office and hopefully glimpse the woman it was said he was really interested in"--

Half baked harvest every day : recipes for balanced, flexible, feel-good meals / by Gerard, Tieghan,author.;
"125 all-new, soul-satisfying, easy recipes with a healthy spin from the New York Times bestselling author of Half Baked Harvest Super Simple. Half Baked Harvest Book 3 delivers more of Tieghan's trademark simple, wholesome decadence with 125 all-new recipes for food that everyone can feel good about. This time around, the recipes are just as easy as her last cookbook, Half Baked Harvest Super Simple, but they also bring a new, good-for-you feeling to the table. With a greater emphasis on balancing rich comfort with lighter ways of amping up flavor, Tieghan's signature style takes on a more health-conscious (or healthyish) attitude, such as swapping half of the pasta for a lasagna with zucchini ribbons. Tieghan is a pro at creating recipes to light up all your senses. The food here-including Crispy Baked Proscuitto Breakfast Cups, Giant Twisted Spinach and Artichoke Soft Pretzel, Oven-Baked Chicken Parmesan Melt, and Blueberry-Lavender Cake-doesn't just taste good. It's also fun to cook, makes the whole kitchen smell fantastic, and looks absolutely beautiful. Each recipe is accompanied by Tieghan's stunning photography that brings the food to life and transports you to her cozy kitchen in the snowy Colorado mountains"--

Drunk-ish : a memoir of loving and leaving alcohol / by Wilder-Taylor, Stefanie,author.;
"From the author of Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay, a hilariously candid and refreshingly honest account of Stefanie Wilder-Taylor's journey to breaking up with alcohol for good. When Stefanie Wilder-Taylor became a mother, being able to connect with other moms over drinks or enjoy a glass of wine at the end of a stressful day felt life-affirming. From liquor cabinet concoctions in high school to tequila shots in her early stand-up comedy days to grocery store wine in young motherhood, alcohol was the seasoning that could give almost any activity more flavor. A drink instantly took the edge off and made even the most difficult adversary (be it a tough crowd in a comedy club or a judgmental PTA mom) not just bearable but fun. As the years go by, Stefanie wonders if her relationship with alcohol is different from other people's. Is everyone else struggling this hard to moderate? Is it even legal to watch The Bachelor without a glass of white wine? Having spent a lifetime grappling with the question of whether or not she is a "real" alcoholic, one evening brings Stefanie close to the edge of losing it all. Miraculously unscathed, she decides that she doesn't need to dive all the way down to a stereotypical rock bottom before deciding to stop drinking; if sobriety will improve her life, that's a good enough reason to quit. Stefanie's memoir is a tender and funny farewell letter to a beloved but toxic friend"--

Iron Mike : my life behind the bench / by Keenan, Mike,1949-author.; Messier, Mark,1961-writer of foreword.; Morrison, Scott,1958-author.;
"The must-read autobiography of one of the NHL's most controversial and successful coaches, winner of the 1994 Stanley Cup with the New York Rangers. In the fraternity of NHL coaches, some stand out for their winning records, some for their big personalities and some for their unprecedented methods. Mike Keenan stands out on all counts, and more. Breaking into the NHL as head coach of the Philadephia Flyers in 1984, Keenan got instant results. The Flyers hadn't won a playoff round in three seasons; he led them to the Cup Final in his first year. In 1987, he coached a fractious Team Canada to victory in the Canada Cup using a strategy few of his peers had to master: if your team doesn't get along, give them somebody to hate, together. Keenan instilled unity in his teams by making sure they all wanted to show him up. The wins took care of themselves. Keenan's teams won at every level. With championships in the OHL and AHL, it seemed only a matter of time before his resume would include the ultimate prize, and in typical Mike Keenan fashion he would win it on the grandest of stages. The NHL's most valuable franchise, the New York Rangers, hadn't won a Cup in 54 years. At the time, it was the league's longest championship drought. But with five-time Stanley Cup champion Mark Messier now captain of a star-studded Rangers lineup, there was only one thing missing for a championship run on Broadway: a coach who could focus all the talent and desire on victory. After a season of controversy and clashing egos, many of them involving the team's bedevilling new coach, in 1994 the Stanley Cup finally returned to Madison Square Garden, considered by many to be the greatest Cup win by a US-based NHL team. In the hands of veteran journalist and bestselling author Scott Morrison, Iron Mike takes readers behind the scenes of one of the most explosive runs to the Cup in NHL history, one that has never been told like Keenan at long last shares in this book. Fans also get their long-awaited chance to understand what one of hockey's greatest and most confounding coaches was up to. There is only one Iron Mike in hockey, and love him or hate him, his memoir is a must-read for any fan of the game."--

Eat a peach : a memoir / by Chang, David,1977-author.; Ulla, Gabe,author.;
"The chef behind Momofuku and star of Netflix's Ugly Delicious gets uncomfortably real in his debut memoir"--"In 2004, Momofuku Noodle Bar opened in a tiny, stark space in Manhattan's East Village. Its young chef-owner, David Chang, worked the line, serving ramen and pork buns to a mix of fellow restaurant cooks and confused diners whose idea of ramen was instant noodles in Styrofoam cups. It would have been impossible to know it at the time-and certainly Chang would have bet against himself-but he, who had failed at almost every endeavor in his life, was about to become one of the most influential chefs of his generation, driven by the question, "What if the underground could become the mainstream?" Chang grew up the youngest son of a deeply religious Korean American family in Virginia. Graduating college aimless and depressed, he fled the States for Japan, hoping to find some sense of belonging. While teaching English in a backwater town, he experienced the highs of his first full-blown manic episode, and began to think that the cooking and sharing of food could give him both purpose and agency in his life. Full of grace, candor, grit, and humor, Eat a Peach chronicles Chang's switchback path. He lays bare his mistakes and wonders about his extraordinary luck as he recounts the improbable series of events that led him to the top of his profession. He wrestles with his lifelong feelings of otherness and inadequacy, explores the mental illness that almost killed him, and finds hope in the shared value of deliciousness. Along the way, Chang gives us a penetrating look at restaurant life, in which he balances his deep love for the kitchen with unflinching honesty about the industry's history of brutishness and its uncertain future."--Jacket flap.
