To officially kick off the holiday season, I decided to bake instead of shop.  So, on Black Friday, I made coffee cake and banana nut muffins. Tasty.

This was also the perfect way to show off one of the new monkey plates that I got for my birthday from Michelle.  Aren’t the monkeys cute?!

In the afteroon, I went to the bakery and bought a huge loaf of crusty French bread.  They sliced it for me and it was perfect for turkey berry sammiches!  One of the best things about Thanksgiving is all the leftovers.  I added sliced turkey breast, stuffing, and my homemade cranberry relish.
