We loved two of the new flavors of chips from this all-natural producer that uses its motto as its brand name: Food Should Taste Good. The sweet potato chips, a great sweet and salty combo, were the clear favorite of our tasters, but the multigrain chips, made of ground corn and brown rice flour with flax and sesame seeds, also got high marks. Skip The Works flavor, a mix of onion, garlic, poppy and caraway seeds; it works on a bagel, but not on these chips.

Whisk like a butterfly
Inspired by the wings of a butterfly, this whisk provides more whip with less muscle. And the nonstick silicone coating makes it high-heat resistant and easy to clean.
