The cookies! The martinis! The creamy dips! It seems impossible to escape the endless barrage of deliciousness during the holiday season. The average American expects to put on a couple of pounds over the holidays, but we’ve decided that this is one tradition we’re willing to break away from. We want to share some of our favorite tips with you, to help you stay healthy and energized this season.

There's just something about an avocado.
They have this magical way of making a salad seem complete, which is great because avocados are nutritional powerhouses. These little green gems are packed with over twenty vitamins and minerals, and are also loaded with healthy fat...
Knowing where your food comes from is important, and it’s easy to forget that food doesn’t just come from the grocery store. This Thanksgiving we want to try our best to eat conscientiously and deliberately, so we stepped outside of the grocery store and onto a local family owned farm.
At Tessemae’s we’re always looking for ways to increase the nutrients of our meals and fats, though often villainized, play a very important role. Now we’re not suggesting that you run out for a cheesesteak or a chocolate sprinkle doughnut or anything; healthy fats are where it's at.
We all struggle with deciding what to eat. We’re faced with recommendations from the USDA, the media, doctors, friends, and not to mention, our favorite blogs (wink, wink). Usually, they’re all saying something different! How are we supposed to choose? It takes a lot of time and energy to try and answer this question. With our new blog series on nutrition, Tessemae’s hopes to help you save both.
