Beginner cooks are often unfamiliar with the technique of making a white sauce. Yet, many families are rediscovering the value of home-cooked meals and the importance of saving money on groceries. Some of the common menu choices for budget-conscious families are casseroles and vegetarian fare. These families often encounter two common dilemmas.

Olive oil can be used in place of butter if appropriate.
The amount of flour can be decreased to make a thinner sauce or increased to make a thicker sauce.
