Guy Fieri loves Halloween, the ultimate excuse to think up playful tricks and delicious treats. For the main course: Bone-In Veal Piccata Chops With Parmesan and Parsley that are pounded and pan-seared to perfection. To go with that, Wild Mushroom and Sundried Tomato Farrotto, risotto's more rugged, slightly nutty brother. Last but not least, Sweet Blueberry and Mascarpone Toasties -- golden and crispy on the outside, warm and molten on the inside -- they're super easy and both the parents and kids will dig 'em.
