AL B. Quick's Fast Marinade ™
I made this up for a quick marinade for some ground turkey Asian Style we had last night.
2 Sliced Scallions (Good Size)
3 Tablespoons Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce
1 Teaspoon Fiore's Famous Garlic Sauce
This may be doubled or more for larger portions of meats. I made this amount for 1.25
Lbs. of Ground Lean Turkey. Thinly slice the scallions and mix well with the Fiore's
Famous Garlic Sauce and Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce. Place in small container
covered and chill for 1 hour in the fridge. Then add to meat for 45 mins and let it soak in.
This is easy and very tasty, and added a bit of an Asian touch to the meat that was cooked with Rice A Roni Stir Fried Rice Mix (Non Fried).

Pizza Night!
Pizza Night!
Allen and I made pizza for dinner tonight. Instead of ordering from our local pizza joint Marconi's which we do every once in awhile, we decided to do it Fry style. We bought Mama Mary's Gourmet Thin & Crispy Pizza Crust at Stop & Shop and oven directions we used are according to this crust. If you buy another crust or make your own from scratch, keep in mind that gas and electric oven cooking times vary. We use a gas oven.
Pizza crust heating instructions:
Preheat oven to 450.
Then lower to 425.
We used 2 non-stick pizza trays. You can add as much or as little as you want of the ingredients below. This is just how we like to make ours.
Allen's Hawaiian Hambo ™
Brush extra virgin olive oil evenly on crust and (optional) add 1 teaspoon of Fiore's Famous Garlic Sauce
Add light coating Ragu Homemade Style Pizza Sauce
Add Jones Ham Slices cut into quarters
Add Shredded Mozzarrella Cheese
Add Dole Pineapple Chunks
Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
Add More Jones Ham Slices
Add More Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Place in oven for about ten minutes
Sophia's Veggie Delight ™
First wash veggies and pat dry with paper towels
Chop 1/4 small red onion, 1/2 red pepper, 1/2 yellow pepper, 1/2 orange pepper, 1 broccoli bunch (cut off long stems)
Brush extra olive oil evenly on crust
Add generous amount of Ragu Homemade Style Pizza Sauce
Add Shredded Mozzarrella Cheese
Add Broccoli, Onion and Peppers
Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper
Add More Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Place in oven for about twelve minutes
Make sure your crust has browned and that your cheese is bubbly and melted.

Linguini with Fiore's Famous Garlic Sauce, Mushrooms, and Chicken
We bought Fiore's Famous Garlic Sauce at the Food Network Atlantic City Food And Wine Festival and this was the first recipe I made with it and it was so delicious.
Linguini with Fiore's Famous Garlic Sauce, Mushrooms, and Chicken
Heat up a large pot of water, when boiling add kosher salt and linguini.
Cook linguini al dente.
Drain.
Use skillet to cook 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts.
First cut chicken breasts into strips (put in freezer for 20 minutes to cut without a fuss), and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Add 2 teaspoons of grapeseed oil in skillet and add chicken when hot.
Cook for about twelve minutes (keep an eye on it, make sure chicken is not pink or that would be very bad).
In another skillet, add 1/4 cup of Fiore's Famous Garlic Sauce.
Add 1/2 cup of chicken stock.
Add 1 2/3 cups sliced mushrooms.
Simmer for about ten minutes or until sauce thickens.
Don't cook much longer than this since mushrooms will be overcooked and then taste rubbery and that would suck.
Add cooked chicken and cooked linguini.
Mix thoroughly.
Add parmesan cheese and parsely.
Serve with your favorite italian bread or salad greens.

We bought Two Guys Jersey Tomato Sauce and Rosa Rigatoni #37 from Rosa Foods at the Food Network Atlantic City Food And Wine Festival and this is the dish I made. We loved it. If you are not in the mood to make your own sauce this is a recommended alternative. I plan to order more sauce from Two Guys. Jersey tomatoes are yum! Rosa Rigatoni was fantastic.

One view of Ceasars Temple Lobby |
We checked into our mini-suite at Caesars today and I spotted Guy Fieri twice at the Temple lobby surrounded by his entourage so that was a warm welcome for my eyes. Yum! This evening we attended an invite only Harrah’s Dinner and Cooking Demo With Sunny Anderson from 9:00-11:00PM. We did not know which chef would grace the stage until the moment of reveal. It was a pleasant surprise and I was glad it was Sunny Anderson since I watch her show Cooking For Real on Food Network all the time. We heard the dinner before ours was hosted by Sandra Lee who I love as well. Sunny was so much fun and energetic just like she is on her show. Sunny made an appetizer dish Cod Fish Puppies with a Mango Habanero Sauce. The Harrah's chefs made her dish to serve the enormous crowd in the ballroom. It was delicious and I loved the kick from the spicy salsa.

Our first event was at 12:00-2:00PM, Guy's Big Bite Brunch, at Phillips Seafood, The Pier Shops at Caesars. The line was huge. The brunch was so much fun and the food was delicious. Guy was an incredible host and spoke for some time and took questions. He also brought out his buddy Chef Robert Irvine. What a hottie! Have you seen his muscles? Oh man.

My jaw dropped when dessert was served, Coffee Banana's Foster French Toast With Formica Brioche. It was huge. I only ate one quarter of it but it was divine. I was so full I could barely walk from those devious drinks and the yummy food. It was an awesome brunch. Everyone received a crab mallet and Phillips seafood seasoning wrapped all pretty with a ribbon. This was well worth the cost $100 per person. I would do this again. We are fans of Phillips from eating here during Atlantic City Restaurant Week earlier in the year.

The first event of today is a must do for anyone coming to this fest. It was from 12:00–3:00PM, The Grand Market, at Bally’s, 6th Floor (multiple rooms). This event is huge. When we showed them our tickets we got a cool GoGreen baggie for all the goodies we bought. As you walk in, you are given a wine glass. This event was all about food, beer, wine, and alcohol tastings. We bought a lot of stuff, and tasted some delicious food. I saw Melissa D'Arabian and Michael Proietti, contestant on Next Food Network Star season with Melissa. I got a really nice pic of them both. We had so much fun and got to see everything. This was a blast.
