Food companies such as Kraft, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Starbucks, and Kellogg have chipped in, and YOU can help out too. How? Grocery stores like Wegmans and Smith's have made it easy -- donate at the register, and they'll add the amount to your bill; contributions go to the Red Cross for food, water, shelter, and other necessary supplies. All Costco locations and most Starbucks stores are collecting donations. And websites we use all the time -- Amazon and iTunes -- have set up quick ways for users to get money to the Red Cross through their existing accounts.

Petite! | | | New at Starbucks: What's Worth It and What's Not... The "buzziest" new under-200-calorie treats on the market? Starbucks Petites. These li'l portions of decadent treats are just big enough to satisfy a craving for sweets. The Lemon Sweet Square is the lightest (120 calories, 6g fat, and PointsPlus™ value 3*) and the Salted Caramel Sweet Square tastes the best (190 calories, 11g fat, PointsPlus™ value 6*). The mini Red Velvet Whoopie Pie and assorted Cake Pops are delicious but a tad high in stats for their size. As for sips, the new Cocoa Cappuccino is AMAZING -- a Tall with nonfat milk has 120 calories, 1.5g fat, and a PointsPlus™ value of 4*. And the limited-edition Tribute Blend coffee -- which is ALSO available as instant VIA packets -- ROCKS! Good stuff, 'Bucks! | | | | | | | |  | | FREE SNACK ALERT! | | | | | | |  | | Spaghetti & Meatball Recall! | | | The Buzz... If you purchased Lean Cuisine's Simple Favorites Spaghetti with Meatballs recently, check the code on the package -- Nestlé is voluntarily recalling a batch, due to consumer complaints citing bits of red plastic in the meatballs. Also recently recalled? Several thousand Kashi Southwest Style Chicken entrées, due to incorrect packaging that resulted in undeclared egg (an allergen). Watch what you chew! ***If the thought of getting through the day without a cup (or five) of java is too much for you to bear, this news should lighten your mood. A study published in the journal Stroke found that women aged 49 to 83 who drank more than a cup of coffee every day were significantly less likely to suffer a stroke than those who didn't drink coffee. Sip away, ladies. ***Mexican-food chain Qdoba just debuted limited-time-only Mini Street Tacos -- chow on THREE with onion relish (and without cheese and sour cream) for 330 - 360 calories.
