Yahoo! Food launched last week, and it's a portal packed with so much food-related stuff it'll make your head spin. The internet company has taken on partners like Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray and, most importantly (well, to us, at least!), Hungry Girl! We'll be providing new EXCLUSIVE weekly content, and we've also given them access to some of our very best food swap recipes. To check out HG's newest offerings on The 'Hoo (our pet name for Yahoo!), click here . And don't forget to tell them how much you like the new site...and the fact that Hungry Girl is all over it. Weeee!

Calling All Moms!
No Home Should Be Without One
Stuff You Didn't Know You Needed...
Candy Grabber - This thing ROCKS! Not only will you be able to brush up on your arcade skills and entertain friends and family for hours, but this grabber thingee will make it that much harder to get to the sweet stuff, causing you to consume fewer calories. Weeeee!
Number Mugs - These super-cute cups have numbered handles. Your days of having people over for tea, and experiencing chaos over which cup belongs to which guest, are OVER. (Ok, maybe this is a VERY uncommon problem, but you have to admit these mugs are a-dorable!)
We never tire of hearing about new reasons to eat chocolate, and this latest one is definitely one of our favorites. A British nutritionist (and genius) has developed an all-natural chocolate truffle that relieves stress and "puts the joy back in living." Made with unprocessed chocolate, raspberries and an amino acid clinically proven to help reduce daily stress, these candies have just 20 calories and 1g of fat per piece. Ironically, they're so expensive, the price may be enough to stress you out, but click here for details.***A recent study shows that monkeys who consume 30% fewer calories than average, look and act younger. While some experts say the results would likely be the same for humans, reducing calorie intake that severely is unrealistic for most people. ABC News medical contributor Dr. David Katz points out that monkeys "don't have holiday parties to go to" and "don't have a workplace where there are all sorts of tempting things." True dat. ***Coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes than people who don't drink it, a new study shows. We're off to Starbucks. That's all we've got. HG out!
Relax...With Truffles!
