All of us know how quickly fresh (to mention expensive) herbs go bad if you don't use them. Lucky for us, now there's a tool to help save both money and time at the grocery store. Prepara has mastered creating useful, modern kitchen tools to help prep, create and preserve your meals. Our favorite is their super sleek kitchen tool, the Herb-Savor, which sports a water basin that submerges the roots of your herbs to elongate their life. Easily wash your basil, cilantro or parsley with the built-in strainer, enclose within the plastic compartment and refrigerate. Save money on replacing stale herbs and keep fresh ingredients for your best recipes on hand, right in the refrigerator door.
Tip: The Herb-Savor also prolongs the life of asparagus.
Enter to win a free herbsavor on our giveaway page for all your summer's fresh garden herbs!

Enlightened Cakes is a cookbook by Camilla V. Saulsbury with a goldmine of recipes for lighter, lower fat desserts. Cook your very own cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes and more with fewer calories and less fat using over 150 decadent recipes listed in this cookbook. Make lighter version of classic bundt cakes, New York style cheesecake or frostings, or try your hand at the more exotic recipes like Chai Cupcakes.
Saulsbury's trick is the cutting back of butter, sugar and oil, rather than using chemically altered substitutes that in return alter the taste and texture of the dessert. Her truly enlightened desserts are sure to please any palate, and this easy-to-follow cookbook should be a staple in any baker's (and dieting baker's) pantry.
Tip: It's always great to cook your own dessert so you can control amounts of fat and sugar, especially when dieting.

Started by an ambitious brother-sister pair out of NYC, Brewla Bars were born as the result of tasty mad-science experiments. With a drive to create refreshing frozen bars with equal health benefits, the pair decided to brew together natural tea and fresh fruits from around the globe. Each popsicle contains 100 calories or less and comes in lots of delicious flavors like "The Remedy" (green tea and raspberry) and "The Buzz" (honey vanilla black tea). Brewla Bars harness the raw greatness of natural fruit flavors as well as their high vitamin and mineral content. Look for Brewla Bars popping up in locations around you, or pick one up for $3.00 at the Fulton Stall Market at the South Street Seaport, NYC.
Tip: Enjoy any Brewla Bar as a refreshing afternoon snack and get the kick you need from the caffeine without the heavy calories or sugar of coffee.
