I made some apple turnovers......but they're on the savory side!

I've got some news I'll be sharing with you guys soon, but until then, let's leave it at the fact that I'll be spending this year's holiday season in the States. With that in mind (and with me being me), I'm already thinking about the big holidays. Today Thanksgiving was on my mind.

I love this particular holiday because of what it means to me and my family. Which is, traditions, being together, and being thankful to God for our blessings no matter where we are geographically. Also, the past few years living in Chile, we had been sort of celebrating our own temporary pilgrimage to that country every Thanksgiving.

Seriously, after all the flights to get there from the U.S., you feel like you’ve been on the Mayflower for months. I love the holiday season, so much in fact, that even though I’m getting older I still get that excitement that is close to pain when I think of all my favorite things during the season! Okay, but moving on to the recipe before I say any more stupid things…

So these calzones, they’re like little thanksgiving-flavor bombs wrapped in cozy, bready blankets. So much to love! I threw in all kinds of ingredients that you’ll probably see listed and think “what?”. It’s all so amazing when you put it together you guys. My sister even said they were comparable to her love for cake because she couldn’t decide if she wanted dessert or more of these calzones. Based on how much I know she loves cake that is saying a lot.

I know everyone probably has their favorite thanksgiving table item. Maybe it’s the fluffy mashed potatoes, or the perfectly roasted turkey that your dad makes every year. For me, I was the weirdo kid who always went for the stuffing (or is it dressing? I always forget the difference but we call it stuffing). My mom used to make it every year and I’d probably be content with eating only that for Thanksgiving dinner. I think it comes down to all the flavors in it. I mean, those are all the flavors that combine one single flavor that instantly puts me in all of my favorite memories of the holidays. It’s borderline ridiculous how indescribably happy said flavor makes me and I’ve never understood how the majority of people skip the stuffing.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I was inspired by those flavors to make these calzones with as much of those flavors as I could. It’s kind of my way of taking them all and putting them into one package that most everyone actually enjoys. I do hope you guys try these if you like these flavors!

As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.
