Party in Guy's Garage in NYC Sunday Night 10-2-2011

Food Network Superstar Guy Fieri wants you to celebrate like your parents are out of town. You'll need a can of Red Bull for Party in Guy's Garage: The Festival Closing Party. This night is one part 16 Candles and one part Porky’s cocktails and finger-lickin' foods to help you rock out way past curfew. The Ronald Reagans 80s Tribute Band will deliver the tunes as clips from some of your favorite movies play in the backdrop of Highline Stages, the newest venue in the Festival’s official home of the Meatpacking District. As with any Guy party, the energy will be intensely electric --making you wish the Festival did not have to come to a close. Casual, funky dress required. So whether you're an athlete, a basket case, a princess or a geek all are welcome to attend this late-night Breakfast Club.

Monday Night Pizza

Monday Night Pizza
On Monday, we had pizza night and it's always fun making it. I bought Boboli Pizza Crust since I wanted a quick meal and this brand tastes great.

I made Veggie Pizza with broccoli, yellow and orange peppers, pizza sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Before placing ingredients on the crust I lightly brushed on good quality olive oil, spread pizza sauce, added the veggies, seasoned lightly with kosher salt and topped with cheese.

Allen made Ham & Olive Pizza. He coated the crust with olive oil, added sliced black olives, Jones Ham Slices Natural Hickory Smoked cut up in chunks, seasoned with Italian Seasonings and Dried Chives, and loaded up on the mozzarella cheese. His pizza was extra cheesy.

Pizza baked according to pizza crust instructions. Yummy!!!
