Food: Open Faced Baguette Sandwiches

...... because decorating, entertaining, shopping for presents, helping out at school, nursing sick children, getting out Christmas cards, baking treats, and all the rest can leave a momma downright exhausted this month..... I'm pulling out the quick and easy recipes.  This is what we'll be having for dinner tonight.....


The kids will enjoy a simpler version with pizza sauce and cheese and I'll throw in a mixed green salad and fruit..... with the promise of hot cocoa and a Christmas show afterwards.... I don't think anyone will be the wiser that I didn't spend an hour in the kitchen preparing dinner (there's time to resolve to become a gourmet chef in the new year, after all!)

Do you have a secret to keeping your holiday cheer this season?
