Thanksgiving 2011 is less than a week away, but you still have plenty of time to stock up on treats and prepare your meal.

From pumpkin pie with low-fat milk to pecan pie without the corn syrup, you will thank yourself (and so will your family) for these healthy alternatives to your normal sugary, fatty desserts.
