Pecan Tarts! They are very tasty, and it puts a different twist on a pecan pie!! Besides, they are one of the easiest desserts to make!! Just buy some tart shells, instead of regular pie crusts, and follow the directions for pecan pies!!
Oreos
how about baklava or ambrosia?
an apple pie. it's much lighter than many other desserts, and goodness knows you'll be eating enough heavy foods over the holidays!
