Save Calories this Season

Today's Holiday Quick Tip? Instead of a cornucopia of pies and cakes lining your dessert table, offer fruit-based finishers like fondue, fruit cocktail, yogurt parfaits, and fresh fruit.

After all, usually by dessert, you're eating out of sheer habit anyway, not from hunger, so why "waist" the calories?
