Need a refreshing dish for the Fourth of July? 🇺🇸 Try this tomato tartar recipe! Think of it as a savory summer parfait: diced tomatoes, topped with a dollop of buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil, then drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Ingredients 🍅 🌱 Syrup 🍋 ⅔ cup balsamic syrup 1 garlic clove, lightly smashed 1 tablespoon lemon juice Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper Crostini 🥖 6 to 8 slices of baguette, sliced on the diagonal, about 4 inches in length and ¼-inch thick Extra virgin olive oil 1 large garlic clove, lightly smashed Kosher salt Tomatoes 🍅 1½ to 2 pounds assorted tomatoes, seeded, cut in ¼-inch dice 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for garnish 2 fresh buffalo mozzarella rounds, each about 4 ounces 6 to 8 basil leaves Directions 🧑‍🍳 🥣 Syrup 🍋 Place the vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by about half and slightly syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard the garlic clove. Transfer the syrup to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Crostini 🥖 Preheat the oven broiler or grill. Lightly brush the baguette slices with olive oil. Rub each slice with the garlic clove and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Arrange in one layer on a baking tray and broil until lightly golden on both sides, turning once. (Or grill until lightly charred on both sides.) Set aside. Caprese 🍅 In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, oil, salt and black pepper, gently stirring the mixture. Taste for seasoning. If desired, add a pinch of sugar. Divide the tomatoes evenly between serving glasses or small bowls. Tear the mozzarella into 6 to 8 chunks, then place a chunk in each glass over the tomatoes. Drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons balsamic syrup. To chiffonade the basil, stack the leaves, roll them lengthwise and thinly slice the roll. Sprinkle the basil over the tomatoes. Garnish with additional black pepper and serve with the crostini. ✍️ Lynda Balslev #marinmagazine #marincounty #tomatorecipes #fourthofjulyweekend🇺🇸

There are sharks in the pool! 🦈 🏊‍♀️ There are sharks in the pool! 🦈 🏊‍♀️ … And stingrays, sea serpents and waterdevils. If you know what we're talking about, then you’ve probably had a kid swim for — or maybe you swam in — the Marin Swim League. The nonprofit, volunteer-run organization, which encompasses 10 local swim clubs, is celebrating its gold anniversary. Thousands of Marin families participate annually in this league, with coaches, parents and swimmers all getting involved over the past 50 years. On June 28, this milestone will be marked at the championship meet at College of Marin Indian Valley. Along with the usual races and relays among the teams, the event will also feature an alumni relay and a wall of stories from past participants. Did MSL have an impact on you? Comment below!

Ever heard of an Eton Mess? 🍓 Try this deliciou Ever heard of an Eton Mess? 🍓 Try this delicious strawberry version for your next summer party An Eton Mess is a British dessert that embraces the strawberry and lets it shine. It’s essentially a deconstructed pavlova: a mishmash of whipped cream and crushed meringue enfolding juicy berries, which is dolloped into a glass or bowl to serve. Strawberry Eton Mess Serves 6 Ingredients 12 ounces fresh strawberries 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus more for garnish 1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream 2 tablespoons sifted confectioner’s sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups coarsely crumbled vanilla meringues, plus more for sprinkling Set aside 3 unblemished strawberries and cut in half. Hull and quarter the remaining berries. Place half of the strawberries in a bowl and add the 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Gently press with a fork to coarsely mash. Add the remaining berries and the lemon zest and stir to combine. Combine the cream, confectioner’s sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until soft peaks form. Add the strawberries and about 2/3 of the meringues to the cream and gently fold into the cream, leaving streaks of berries visible. Spoon into individual serving glasses or small bowls. Sprinkle additional crushed meringues over the top. Garnish with a half strawberry and additional lemon zest. *Note that you can make this dessert in advance of serving, but for best results assemble shortly before serving to prevent the meringues from becoming too soggy. For the meringues, feel free to use store-bought vanilla meringues, which can be found in well-stocked markets and bakeries. Enjoy! ✍️ Lynda Balsle #marinmagazine #marincounty #strawberrydessert #etonmess

"California State Parks has confirmed something th "California State Parks has confirmed something that the people of Marin have always known: Mount Tamalpais is the best state park for hiking. The public voted on a number of categories for a new “Best of California’s State Parks” poll, coordinated by the parks system to highlight the many natural gems across our state.
