T-Day is all about the food. And most of the things on a traditional Thanksgiving menu are fairly healthy: turkey (without the skin), vegetables, salads. But the desserts? Not so much.

Indulging in the fattening stuff once or twice a year isn't so bad, but just in case you're still honoring your New Year's resolution from January (I was almost able to say that with a straight face), or if there are people on the guest list trying to cut down on fat and calories, here's a dessert recipe for Applesauce Cheesecake from Jenny Craig that's easy to make, and won't add to your already bulging gut. Each serving has only 211 calories, 31g of carbs and 6g of fat, with 7g of protein. The ladies at your table will love you for it.
