I’m a certified health nut and after we got married, I served a delicious dessert of fruits and chia seeds on shabbos. No sweets, no candy.
Poor dh, he looked at what I offered and told me shabbos without the real good stuff is not shabbos.
So now, yeah, my pantry my freezer, it’s sad to see what’s going on in there, not only on shabbos

Sorry I didn't read much of the thread.
Shabbos is festive so I feel a need to offer dessert. If it's just adults or close to at the table, not everyone will want. I do have a steady customer for Shabbos night apple crisp.(I don't generally serve crisps or sweet muffins as a side dish.) Other dessert options are Trader Joe's ice cream, special cookies, maybe leftovers from yom tov, fruit.

While I have standard, I.e. not special, cookies in the freezer as a rule, usually chocolate chip, I'll also have some special Shabbos cake option on the counter.

Now, when the kids were little....we had
- licht benching treat
- dessert
- "9:00 treat" which started out as a treat I gave the kids when I davened
- Shabbos cereal
- dessert
- Shabbos party

Every shabbos - shabbos cereal (sugar cereal) and Shabbos party (pure junk - 2 candies and chips/cookies).

For the Friday night meal, once in a blue moon an apple crisp as a side dish, but other times just a baked sweet potato or nothing else sweet as part of the meal.

Friday night usually no dessert - unless it is baked apples.

As far as dessert for shabbos - I am not consistent. Most shabbosim we have no dessert, but sometimes we have a Duncan Heinz cake, or pareve bought icecream, or fresh fruit, or Jello. We have cake and Jello more often now that my kids make it themselves.

For Yom tov or when I have guests - much more sweet in the meals (lukshen kugel, apple crisp) and usually dessert at every meal.

always. Cake for shabbos morning and often something else for dessert. Challah dough cinnamon buns most weeks too. This week vanilla cupcakes and cherry turnovers. Also fruit usually.

Dessert on shabbos is the one thing that can unite all Jews. 😁

Warning this is going to backfire.

Her kids are little. Why introduce them to garbage if they don’t know better? Once my kids saw others with these foods and requested them is when I started buying them. But til then I really didn’t see a need. My husband doesn’t like sweet foods and I try to eat healthy myself. Now the kids are older and my house is full of all foods, but I completely disagree that not introducing them to junk will backfire. Just don’t deprive them once they know about it.
