Tip: Feel free to make simple substitutions. For example, maybe you like broccili in your fettuccine alfredo, so on Wednesday you make a side of broccili instead of green beans. Perhaps avocado is super expensive this week, so you make a side of rice to pour your bean soup over instead. It is all about making the template work for you!

Lesson Learned: We recently mimicked a wedding baked potato bar with our youth group kids.  The possiblities for topping taters are endless!
