I would love to have a lighter dessert offered at Thanksgiving dinner - even fruit salad like you recommended would be perfect. I do think its ok to splurge a little though - it is a holiday!

Your wrap looks delicious - I love when I can incorporate dinner elements into another meal.

That wrap looks great - I love mushrooms and hummus combo.
We always have a huge fruit salad on the side of all the richer full fat desserts (like the pies I'm baking tomorrow...)
That way I can fill up on fruit and have a splurge too.

great idea with the strength training and then you got to meet up with a friend! hmmm I guess it depends what type of light dessert it was...I would rather taste a little bit of the REAL stuff this one day out of the year, then a lot of some not so tasty dessert that is lighter' but again, it totally depends on the dessert! I would have REAL apple pie with fat free ice cream, something like that sounds great, so you have a balance of both!

have a great night melissa!!

My pumpkin pie is nice and light. Who wants another pound of food after a full dinner? A fruit plate is also always classy

Looks like a great wrap and I love lemon in hummus! I would definitely eat the lighter dessert options especially if it tasted close to the real thing!

Enjoy your night out with your friend!

I'm saving my strength workout for later tonight. But glad that you got yours in this morning.

A lighter Thanksgiving dessert with less sugar is also better for your teeth...No cavities for life! Haha, j/k.

FYI...you need to go to Madewell one day soon. Their latest promo is that if you donate a pair of old jeans, you'll get a 15% off coupon to use in 2010!

I would eat the lighter dessert AND the heavy dessert.
I'm so impressed with people who know the names to the exercises. I'm so retarded with that stuff. When I read it I'm all "huh?". I just do bicep curls and behind the head tricep dippidy do's and the ol' should pressaroo above my head with weights. Sorry if that was too technical.

I think I'm going to try cottage cheese oats minus the almond milk soon. Next time I have some regular cottage cheese which is soon, luckily. I emailed you, by the by.

I love the whole foods salad bar too! I want to try the one in Dedham because I hear its the biggest one around. Yes I keep track of these things haha.

Love the sprouts in your wrap. For me it's the sprouts that make a good sandwich a fab sandwich. I love em! Have fun with your friend tonight.

mmmm I had some roasted mushrooms at lunch, I forgot how good they are!

My BF is a type one diabetic with an appetite of an elephant. We always cook lighter because it's healthier for me but more important healthier for him and makes it easier to manage his diabetes. He typically will avoid things like mashed potatos and the rolls which are heavy in carbs. Carbs are what spikes your blood sugar. That way he's got more room for the good stuff :)

That wrap looks great! I may have to copy that one :) I also want to try cottage cheese in my oats. I am not a huge fan of it but I need something in there to make them more fulfilling!
