I'm back with more food questions...

One of my holiday guests is a child with Prader-Willi Syndrome (uncontrollable urge to eat). I'd like to offer a few low-cal options so he can enjoy eating without having everyone stress over it. I do plan to put out veggies and hummus (yum!), but my typical holiday offerings are, uhhh, indulgent.

We always have ham on Christmas Day, and we typically have rolls, sandwich fixings, mashed potatoes and a veggie.

Any thoughts on a lower-cal side dish? Yummy appetizers that are lower in fat? Or even a sugar-free dessert? (I am not averse to baking with Splenda if I can use a road-tested recipe.)

Many thanks...

any of the jello/cool whip type of dessert can be made sugar-free/fat-free I believe.. and those are usually a big hit with kids
