We all have good intentions when it comes to Thanksgiving. Most of us spend a week planning the dishes. But when it comes right down to doing the dirty deed, well, the trip to the supermarket alone can suck the enthusiasm out of even the greatest home cook. That’s why our product of the week is Alexia Foods all-natural, frozen side dishes. Alexia’s sides are different because they’re prepared in small batches, (and they were invented by a chef with a side dish obsession). For Turkey Day, we recommend the Harvest Saute with carrots, green beans, red potatoes and sage, the mashed Yukon Golds and the French rolls. If you’re guests are snackers, offer the Cheddar Bites and Mushroom Bites before the main event. The dishes all contain good-for-you ingredients and we think you’ll be surprisingly pleased by the quality in every frozen bag. (We even keep the whole grain rolls in the freezer year-round for carbo-loading emergencies!)
The Alexia products are available at Whole Foods, Target and most major grocery chains.
