Thanksgiving Dinner

And what is Thanksgiving Dinner without some kind of dessert?   It would be an abomination. 

Shape magazine listed the best and worse pies to eat and ways to cut some of the calories in our favorites.

Here is a list of a few of my favorites:

Pecan Pie: 500+ calories.  I have recently developed a pecan allergy, so I have to cross this one off my list.  Sorry Pecans, you will live in my heart forever!


Apple Pie: 400+ calories (more if you add ice cream). 

Pumpkin Pie: 300+ calories ---This is my Thanksgiving FAVORITE!  Shape suggested switching to the fat-free sweetened condensed milk.  That is something I have done for a long time.  You can not tell the difference-REALLY!
