Garlic Italian Tomato Bruschetta

When I was in my twenties, there was an Italian Restaurant in the hotel across the highway from my apartment. I lived in a sleepy little town in wine country. I could get off work and stroll across the highway for a glass of wine and some light dinner. 

One night, the sous chef had brought in a bunch of tomatoes from his garden and whipped up some bruschetta. I had never had it before, but my place was on the house, so I gave it a shot. 

I was in love immediately! I am already a tomato junky, but add some garlic, and I’m hooked for life!

Lately, I have been craving that bruschetta. So when I started getting basil and tomatoes from the garden, I enlisted my daughter to make Zuppa toscano for dinner, and I got to chopping!
