Daelia’s Biscuits for Cheese are thin, peppery slivers of savory biscotti that are made to go with all types of cheeses. The almond version — their debut – is smoky, crunchy, and a little bit spicy, studded with bits of chewy, toasted raisins. The bisuits are made without additional fat or salt, and they’re lovely on their own, but they really do pair well with nearly any type of cheese, and they stand up exceptionally well to strong and salty ones like aged parmesan, Boursin, or even a super-sharp cheddar.

Available at many Whole Foods stores.

I love salt-rimmed drinks, but I loathe dipping the glasses into a plateful of chunky salt. For one thing, I always end up wasting salt. For another, half of the salt from the plate ends up on the counter instead of the rim of the glass. But now, I let The Barmaid do it for me. Or, rather, The Barmaid lets me put just the right amount of salt — or whatever spice I want — on each rim with the touch of a button. Perfect for a summer-in-the-wintertime Margarita, or a salty-and-spice rimmed Bloody Mary at brunch.

$39.95 or $44.95 (including salt) at Limetreecove.com.

I have this tuna casserole recipe which takes very little time to make and is always a hit with my daughter. On the prowl for more casserole recipes (which I think are every working mom’s best friend because they are easy one-dish meals) I found this great cookbook.

GoGo SqueeZ applesauce has become a staple in my road-trip repertoire, not because they’re healthy (they are) or they taste good (they do), but because of the super-cool packaging. I love it because the sturdy pouch is strong enough to withstand the jabs from whatever is in my bag; it’s also resealable, so if my preschooler doesn’t finish the all-natural fruity puree in one sitting, I can twist the cap back on and save it for later. My kids love it because they don’t need a spoon to eat it, and anything you can squirt directly into your mouth is a treat as far as they’re concerned. Win-win.

About $4 for four 3.2-ounce pouches at Whole Foods stores, or $45 for a case of 48 pouches at Cyber Cucina.

When my daughter was very little, I learned quickly that if I can make eating more fun, she will eat better and whining will be minimized — a win for both of us. If I’d found this Food Face Kid’s Plate back then, I would have bought multiples. It’s an easy way to make mealtime a bit more fun for your kids and a little less stressful for you.

Loose tea tastes better than the powdery stuff that comes in pre-filled bags, but convenience often trumps taste when you’re on the run or at the office. Blomus’ tea stick takes the hassle out of making a proper cuppa. The spring-loaded, stainless-steel gadget is easy to fill and clean, and the many tiny holes make for perfect steeping.
