A nice snack
KIND, the folks that focus on healthy snacking, have added a line of fruit and nut bars with a nutritional boost. Try the dark chocolate cherry cashew with antioxidants; pomegranate blueberry pistachio with antioxidants; or one that could become positively addictive: peanut butter dark chocolate with protein. All are gluten-free.

Best buy
From Bialetti, the Italian company that brought us those cute little expresso pots, comes an impressive new line of cookware: Aeternum. Yes, the white nanoceramic nonstick coating is eco-friendly and provides even heat distribution. It's easy to clean and remarkably affordable. But this is what really sold me: the frittata popped out of the pan effortlessly! The scrambled eggs did not stick!

Aeternum saute pans in 8-, 10.25-, and 12-inch sizes priced at $19.95; $29.95, and $39.95. Available online at bialettishop.com/.
