Black Friday Preparations- I mean Thanksgiving preparations

Some people maybe up early to put in the turkey or to start all the preparations for Thanksgiving dinner but I wanted to start early for Black Friday.  We are up at all hours and need to have food especially breakfast because by the clock says it is breakfast time for all of the shopping time.  I made a loaf of Pillsbury banana quick bread (purchased during super doubles at Harris Teeter), Duncan Hines Apple Cinnamon Muffins (brought by my mom), and a loaf of homemade pumpkin bread.  I tried to take a picture but they were already eaten :)

We also made a Mississippi Mud Pie from a recipe from my friend, Christel.  It was fabulous so I asked for the recipe.  Thanksgiving seemed to be the perfect time to make it.  Sadly, we didn't have a double boiler so we improvised with a glass measuring cup in a bigger pot with a cookie cutter in the bottom.  I should have taken pictures in the process but I didn't think about it until the end.  It was really yummy warm after dinner and even better cold the next day!!!  I would highly recommend it :)  I can't share ours because it is already gone!!!
