Thankful Thanksgiving Dinner Calzone

Thankful Thanksgiving Dinner Calzone

Thanksgiving Day. One of the most epic FCK experiences an individual can have. It’s when family and friends get together and harmoniously indulge in of of the most icon meals of the year. But what if you can’t wait until Thanksgiving day for that amazing blend of flavor crystals to hit your taste buds. Well, what we did was invite our friends Katie and Cynthia (creators of The Violet Fog) over and jammed all those nostalgic flavors into a calzone the size of a UFO.

Care to know how this was all done, worry no more! Here is the short list of ingredients you’ll need

Ingredients:

  • 1 Pizza Dough Ball
  • 2 Russet Potatoes
  • 2 Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 Roasted Chicken – got ours from the local grocer
  • 1 package Stouffer’s Stuffing
  • 16oz Chicken Stock
  • 1 package Jimmy Dean’s Ground Sausage
  • Frozen Cranberries
  • Chicken Stock
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Orange Zest
  • Butter
  • Garlic
  • Shallot
  • Sage
  • Thyme
  • Cinnamon
  • 1 large Egg
  • flour
  • salt and pepper to taste

What to do:
Start out by making mashing both kinds of potatoes separately. Season the russets with garlic and the sweet potatoes with cinnamon and brown sugar. Next, cook up some Stouffer’s stove top stuffing using chicken stock as your flavoring liquid. Whisk up a gravy with the sausage and season with garlic, shallot, sage and thyme. Cook some frozen cranberries down in water with enough sugar to add some sweetness and add a touch of orange zest. Pick the meat from the roasted chicken. Let all the finished ingredients cool. Roll out the dough and start to layer the ingredient on half of the dough circle. Beat an egg in a bowl to create an egg wash. Lightly bush where the calzone will be sealed with the wash. Crimp the calzone closed using the prongs of a fork. Brush the outside lightly with egg wash, cut three slit in top to release. Bake at 375 degrees until crusty and golden brown (about 8-12 minutes). Rotate half way through cooking to ensure even cooking. Let rest for 5 minutes and slice up with serrated knife. Serve with left over cranberry sauce and gravy on the side. Enjoy your food coma.

A Delicious Buttery Balls Party For Your Mouth

A Delicious Buttery Balls Party For Your Mouth

For the party:

  • 8oz unsalted butter
  • 10oz bag of marshmallows (mini melt easier)
  • 6 cups Reece’s Pieces Puffs
  • 1/3 cup milk chocolate morsels
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Smiles. You need smiles.

Cookware:

  • Large sauce pan
  • Cake pan – you decide the dimensions – smaller = thicker

What to do:

First, you need to brown that butter. Start by turning your favorite burner on the stove to a medium heat and melting the butter in the sauce pan.

Once the butter is melted, it’ll begin to foam and sizzle at you, like it’s cheering because you are awesome. Make sure to stir and don’t become too arrogant with how awesome the butter thinks you are as you need to pay attention. The butter will start to brown in color and smell “nutty.” You’ll notice little brown flakes floating up from the bottom of the pan because they wanna play. Say no and scrape the flakes from the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat to warm or off and mix in the marshmallows.

Stir until you have a nice creamy fluff.

Now it’s time for the real party to start. Mix in the puffs, chocolate chips, and salt until everything is coated with everything else.

Take the cake pan, lubricate it with butter, and dump the puff party into it. Spread evenly with a spatula. (I used a greased parchment paper to push the puff party into the corners of the pan).

Let cool for 30 minutes to an hour and then serve yourself a delicious food coma.
