Taco Bar
Perfect for next week’s big game! Everyone I know loves tacos and, with a taco bar, carnivores & vegetarians alike can customize their meals to their particular tastes. Make sure you have a wide variety of toppings so everyone is happy but there’s no need to spend hours in the kitchen. With lots of fresh vegetables, cheeses, beans, and salsas, you can have a beautiful spread that allows you to spend time with your guests instead of slaving over the stove.
