Question from George: Hey Martha, I headed to my girl friend’s house for a lite dinner of fish & veggies (you must be so proud). What can I bring for dessert that matches the meal?

Answer from Martha: George, I am so impressed with your dinner. It sounds like you are on your way to losing those 8 pounds! (George previously confided in me that his BMI was a little on the high side).

Here are some ideas for quick healthy desserts:
- Berries and whipped cream
- Sorbet
- Low fat or fat free frozen yogurt
- Fresh fruit
- Low fat biscotti (one per person!)
- Individually wrapped frozen dessert such as Skinny Cow Bars, Edy’s fruit bars, Weight Watcher’s desserts (maybe the “Weight Watcher’s”wouldn’t be a good idea to bring to your girlfriends house. She might take it as a hint she needs lose weight)
