Entertaining friends and family over the holidays is a highlight of the season, but it can get expensive to serve dinner to a large group. One way I’ve found to cut costs is to serve something that doesn’t involve meat as the main ingredient. Top-your-own style bars lend themselves well to this idea.
We’ve hosted or attended parties with potato bars, burrito/taco bars, pancake bars and ice cream bars. In my experience guests like these type of dinners because they can create a meal to suit their own fancy….Hop over to Modern Alternative Kitchen where you’ll find the rest of my post sharing an idea for low cost entertaining.

I love build your own bars too. Thanks for mentioning sweet potatoes – this is good for people who need to avoid nighshades!
