Thanksgiving Dessert Ideas??????

Hey Guys, I'm eight months out and this is my first Post-Surgery Thanksgiving.  I'm not that worried about the dinner - I'll just eat turkey, veggies, and a little bit of some of the other yummy things.   But, I'd like to make a dessert.   I was thinking about a bannana cream pie (make SF pudding with Skim Milk, and use SF/FF cool whip, real bannanas) - but, not sure what to do for a crust.    Any ideas for a pie crust - of other dessert ideas?   Nothing too fancy though................. Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions, Chuck

Sounds yummy Paul - thanks for the ideas....  And, damn - i'll have to make a test batch first LOL.....

since you mentioned testing... have you tried bananas yet?  an average banana has something like 26g carbs... 21 of which are sugars. I'm just thinking it would be totally crappy way to end your family festivities by being out of commission for a while if bananas are a trigger food for you. A good friend of my wife dumps regularly from bananas, but not other fruits that I thought had higher sugar contents... she's OK with oranges, grapes and apples, but bananas always give her trouble.  They never bothered her pre-op, so it's unlikely an allergic reaction.  SHE says it's dumping.

hey man - thanks for the concern.   i can tolerate bananas fine, but i don't eat fruit very often at all.    So, i was thinking that I could eat a little of it, and it would be sweet enough, the nephews/neices and other non-dieters in the family would enjoy it too.....

 One thought- Murray® Sugar Free Vanilla Wafers. I make SF Banana pudding with them for my Diabetic Brother-in-law And it’s great stuff that I tolerate as well. If “cream-pie” format, then make same as graham cracker crust, Just crunch then into a “meal” and spritz with a little water to or mix in some Fleishmans margarine made with 100% Olive oil. great for you and tastes awesome. Best Wishes- Dx

I haven't seen that brand of Vanilla Wafers - but, then again i haven't been down the cookie aisle since February!!!!!!!!!   I'll look for them.   Thanks for the suggestions - I'll be able to throw something together, and I'm not telling anyone it's Sugar Free :) Chuck

Paul, I'm still a pre-op and also diabetic and this sounds great! I'm having dinner at home and then going to a friends house later for dessert ,and this sounds like the ideal thing to bring. It sounds like everyone would enjoy it and I can make it the night before. Thanks!

Or just skip dessert and laugh and joke with the friends and relatives while they blarp themselves out on all that fat and sugar,..then go for a jog.

Oh Joe - you silly silly man.................   I've been skipping Dessert for 8 months..............   Trust me - i'm having dessert on Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!! LOL    There will be plenty of laughing and joking too though - and, we're all going for a hike on Thursday morning........     But, i'm going to throw something together with Splenda and Fat-Free Cool Whip or something.....   Happy Turkey Day.....
