I'm thinking of Donkey telling Shrek, "You know what ELSE everybody likes? Parfaits."
What about fun Jello desserts? Making ahead some really pretty refrigerated items with either regular Jello or the lite kind, if you thought that was a better idea. Drop some fruit in there if it doesn't bother you (would bother me after a meal, for instance, but not on an empty tummy, so I'd have to time it). Truthfully, whipped toppings are not very healthy for you, but a little might make a parfait recipe go from good to great and really satisfy with eye-appeal. Something to look forward to. Relatively cheap, actually.
And of course you know about me that I am a pudding person (cook and serve Jello for me, but again, lite ones are out there). And for last minute rescue... ...Fudgcicle.
On a veggie note, there are recipes for mashed cauliflower that mimic creamy mashed potato and fool people.
