Spice It Up

Add a little extra punch to your Mexican cooking with Eden's Spicy Refried Beans. They have a more complex flavor than plain refried. In pinto and black bean ($1.79). 888.441.EDEN; www.edenfoods.com

Every Little Bit Helps

Using it may be a small step, but here's a toothbrush you can feel environmentally good about. The handle is made from recycled materials (including Stonyfield Farm yogurt cups). And when the bristles get worn, just send it back--postage-paid mailers are available--and the company will recycle the plastic again. From Preserve ($13/4 toothbrushes). 888.354.7296; www.recycline.com
