Alexia Foods Serves up All Natural, Stress-Free Alternatives to Traditional Holiday Fare

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y.-- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Entertaining is a big part of the holiday season, with family gatherings and friendly get-togethers centered on food, but 87 percent of consumers report that the holiday season causes stress, according to a Franklin Covey survey. To help relieve stress and cut down on time spent filling the holiday table, Alexia Foods offers great-tasting, all-natural, premium appetizers and meal accompaniments that provide a convenient twist to classic holiday fare.

Alexia, an innovator in all-natural, trans-fat-free frozen products, was founded by New York chef and entrepreneur Alex Dzieduszycki, best known for creating the signature snack, Terra Chips?. The acclaimed chef and caterer has a passion for innovation through food, and launched the Alexia brand to provide consumers with creative, all-natural meal solutions.

“As a chef, I understand that people do not always have the time to create gourmet meals during the busy holiday season. Each of our products can be prepared in minutes, using the oven, microwave or a fryer,” said Dzieduszycki.

Two products that help make holiday entertaining a snap are Alexia’s Sweet Potato Julienne Fries and Garlic Baguettes. Adding a new and easy spin to traditional holiday sweet potatoes, Alexia’s Sweet Potato Julienne Fries carefully balance the classic flavor of sweet potatoes with a hint of sea salt. Alexia Garlic Baguettes are a great addition to any meal, taking traditional garlic bread to new heights by combining a special blend of real butter, robust garlic and spices with crispy French bread. Garlic Baguettes bake up beautifully with that “fresh from the bakery oven” aroma and taste. Alexia Sweet Potato Julienne Fries are available in the frozen and natural sections at supermarkets nationally, as well as at national and independent natural food stores. Alexia Garlic Baguettes are available nationally in natural and specialty food stores, as well as in the natural section of many supermarkets.

In addition to these two classic offerings, Alexia Foods recently introduced several delicious new products that are great entertaining and post-holiday alternatives. They include: Chicken Nuggets with Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese, Chicken Nuggets with Spinach & Feta Cheese, Yukon Gold Potato Nuggets, Pizza Snacks and Classic Buttermilk Biscuits.
