THANKFUL THREADS DAY 5!

Planning to visit family over the break. It’ll be going from southwest US to southern US. Although I can go on one go, we prefer stop in between to enjoy one of the cities along the way.

I host, about 4 people in addition to my family of 4. I lie to cook everything from scratch. Butter blanket Turkey, stuffing, marshmallow sweet potato casserole and green bean casserole. For dessert, Pecan pie is a must. This year I will make apple pie cheesecake in addition to the pie 🙂

What is butter blanket?

[Samar El Khayat]

Butter blanket is using a cheesecloth, you will need a 4 layer of cheesecloth that is big enough to cover your turkey. You dip that in melted butter, squeeze all excess butter and cover your turkey with it before putting it in the oven. You keep on basting the cheesecloth with any excess butter or the drippings in the pan. I follow this recipe and it turns out amazing each and every time: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/butter-blanketed-turkey-7182863

What is apple pie cheesecake? Sounds so good.

[Samar El Khayat]

It’s a classic baked cheesecake, once cooled, I add the apple pie filling (diced apple, cooked with some butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and a tiny amount of cloves) on top and sprinkle with toasted walnuts.
