Yes, of course! But it must be completely homemade with good ingredients. No store bought junk or stuff you dump from the box- that is gross. If the meal is lighter, I’ll make a richer dessert. If it is a heavy meal or I just can’t find the time, cut fruit, good cheeses, berries and homemade whipped cream are all good and easy options.

Don't forget that a cheese platter can be a great dessert if you know your guests don't like sweets.
