Thanks Zahava – good luck with school!!
I like the options given here! I am actually in school to become an RD and I love finding healthy recipe ideas-especially since some of my family starting feeling yucky after eating so much at the sukkos meals(even though we attempted to make them healthy)I like that you said that one dessert is more than enough-I agree and I think fruit salad is a great idea to add to dessert if you want to serve more.
