mmm…the Toscana Garlic Parmesan Bruschetta sound delicious! And she needn’t worry about her tomato-hating 13 YO–his tastes are just going through one of those teen-age things. (I did subscribe/confirm via email while I was there)
Last night I did it Veggie style but liked it so much I grilled chicken breast in the Central Park Dipping Oil to give it a little Itaian marinade flavor. Perfect. Don’t tell the kids but I added in addition to the fresh tomato, sundried tomatos and artichoke hearts. YES!!!!!!!!!
I also visited Momma Told Me and her Fettuccine recipe sounds so easy. I subscribed there as well.

I was not aware Tavern Direct helped the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. I also did not know the City of NY owned rights to the Tavern name!
kcoud33 at gmail dot com
Taverndirect was founded to help National Center for MIssing & Exploited Children. I founded NCMEC/NY and wanted to create a company similiar to Newmann’s Own. NCMEC is a very hard cause to raise money for so Taverndirect was born. NY city owns the Tavern name for Central Park only. Big legal battle over the name. Thanks Lou

I went to Mama Told Me – I learned:
The U.S. Department of Justice Reports 797,500 children (younger than 18) were reported missing in a one-year period of time studied resulting in an average of 2,185 children being reported missing each day.
AND
Of strong personal importance to both of Tavern Direct’s co-owners, is the support and discovery of Missing and Exploited Children, committing to donate $0.50 from every item sold, and more on select baskets and bundles.
AWESOME!!! BRAVO!!!

I like the Toscana Chicken Ceaser Recipe cause I dont eat any other meat. Another way I can make chicken instead of the same old ones.
I would like to try the Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar … Would be great on salads.
Marinade fresh Strawberries in the Balsamic and pour over vanilla ice cream. Add cracked pepper and tell no one and watch the smiles. Yes the pepper makes it crunchy and gives it a lift.
Chef Lou
Ok! Deb I went and got my crouton’s, romaine, green onions and the chicken is marinating in the Toscana Garlic Parmesan. At Seven tonight this goes in the frying pan with my Greek Olive Oil to be topped off with some great shaved Parmesan Cheese. Can’t wait!!!!!!!!! Lou

I Visited Confession’s Of An Overworked Mom’s Toscana Parmesan post. I would have never thought to use Garlic Parmesan Marinade as a base for bruschetta.
I visited Momma Told Me’s Toscana Parmesan post. I didn’t know that they donated $0.50 from every item sold, and more on select baskets and bundles
I Visited My Life With Rats and More’s Toscana Parmesan post. I like that she talked about the texture of the marinade – makes me feel like it’s blended and not pureed. I dunno, it makes a difference to me. I like texture, makes me feel like there’s real ingredients in there and not just flavoring.
I Read and commented on the Gourmet Cooking With Purpose post. https://taverndirect.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/gourmet-cooking-with-purpose-tavern-direct-ncmec/#comment-206

I Visited Turning The Clock Back’s Toscana Parmesan post. I like the idea of pizza. I wonder how this marinade would work on a white pizza (cheese, broccoli, spinach)? I bet it would be yummy, and much healthier than a lot of oil/butter.
I Visited Deb’s Here’s Toscana Parmesan post. I bet the marinade would be great as a salad dressing too!
I Visited Mama Buzz’s Toscana Parmesan post. I love that it also works as a sauce, as well as a marinade.
