Mustard mania
Grey Poupon has three zippy new mustards: harvest coarse ground, savory honey and hearty spicy brown. We liked all three on sandwiches and sausages; they’ll notch up the flavors of sauces and spreads too. Each 8-ounce jar is $2.70-$3 at Treasure Island, Sunset Foods, Meijer and Valli Produce in Hoffman Estates and Arlington Heights and peapod.com.
Chunk buster
RSVP’s stainless-steel Chocolate Chipper Fork makes the task of chopping those thick blocks of chocolate a bit easier. The 71 /4-inch long fork is dishwasher-safe, another plus. The chipper costs $16-$19 at The Chopping Block stores and by mail through King Arthur Flour’s Baking Catalogue (kingarthurflour.com or 800-827-6836).
Thirsty for more
Ready to kick the soda habit? We like these two zero- to low-calorie beverages that contain no artificial sweeteners. IZZEesque, sparkling water blended with fruit juice, has 60 calories per 8-ounce bottle in Mandarin orange, black raspberry and lemon-lime. A four-pack is $5.40-$7 at Whole Foods Markets and Fox & Obel. O Water’s regular and infused flavors have 0 to 60 calories, respectively, per 16-ounce bottle. The infused waters also are fortified with some vitamins and minerals. They’re about $1.40 each in several flavors at Dominick’s, Treasure Island and Sunset Foods.
