Things you love: sweater weather, sugar cookies, Christmas snacks, holiday drinks and family dinners. Things you hate: washing dishes and standing at a hot stove for hours—especially on Christmas. I feel you.

With these simple meals on your menu, you can focus on what matters most: gifts (and OK, time with your family...).
