So, while I know it doesn't seem as festive, why not just serve fruit for dessert? You could provide a heathy yogurt based dip if people really feel like they need something uber sweet to go along with it. Or how 'bout some small pieces of dark chocolate?

Especially around the holidays, I just think there's a lot we can do as hostesses to encourage and offer healthier choices.
Golly, Indy. I'm a little embarrassed to say I didn't even think of fruit for dessert, shy of a fruit topping for cheesecake.

I don't have any fruit worthy of serving to 25 people, though, and I'm done for the day as far as shopping goes. I may go to TJ's and pick up a fruit tray tomorrow, though. That's a great suggestion.

And as for lighter and healthier, I'm going to make some oatmeal-almond flour cookies with dark chocolate chips, with coconut oil. That I've got.

I really appreciate the suggestions here, everyone. Thank you!
