| Fresh Fruit Tartine |
A friend gave me a bottle of chocolate balsamic vinegar and it was perfect for this fruit tartine. I can't wait to make it for her!

| Anne LeBlanc's Pistachio Avocado |
I have a bottle of chili infused olive oil that I drizzled on the chopped avocados and sprinkled toasted pistachios on top. Add salt and voila, delicious! Gary wrapped it in a flour tortilla and loved it. We'll do this one again!
Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts and concern for we Okies through the crazy weather of the past couple of weeks. The El Reno tornado came much closer to us than the Moore tornado had and we experienced some flooding. We've come out okay and had decided to take up the carpet in the den anyhow! The flood just got us moving! I did not know it could rain so hard. Hopefully, bad weather is behind us for this season. Its been exhausting!
You can check out all the French Fridays with Dorie results!
I think we have gotten spoiled with theses wonderful non-recipe recipes... oh my I hope we don't go back to stirring pots anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteGuyla, please add both of these recipes to the "must make for missy when she comes to town" list. ;) Looks yummy!!
ReplyDeleteGuyla, Nice to see you caught up with the Pistachio Avocado…one of my favorite non-recipe recipes! And the Strawberry Tartine was fabulous! Such a pretty platter of deliciousness! Love all the different fruit you used.
ReplyDeleteHope things have calmed down in your neck of the woods. I have been sending prayers your way.
looks good
ReplyDeleteHope everything has calmed down for you - its been a rough couple of weeks out there.
ReplyDeleteThese non recipe recipes were really great.
Great Dorie two-fer post!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the pistachio avocado - a little kick from the olive oil must have been lovely. You're the second person to bring chocolate balsamic to my attention. I think I'm going to have to make some before the strawberries disappear.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you decided to make them both. These two "recipes" were amazingly simple yet exquisitely delicious and beautiful! I love your idea of using different fruits. And chocolate balsamic vinegar? That is definitely the cerise sur le gateau!
ReplyDeleteI loved both of these recipes! I'm with you -- I can't get enough of fresh berries right now.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of heat on that avocado very much. Both of these recipes together would be very nice.
ReplyDeleteI loved both of these, too. Yes, I hope you in OK are finished with the storms for a lifetime. Boy, has it been a horrible spring for you : (
ReplyDeletewow, both these recipes look good ;-) and both are such good recipes for warm weather outdoor dining-I will have to give the avocado salad a try ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that you are surviving the storms so far. Also happy to hear that you experimented with different fruits. Good to know that it works.
ReplyDeleteGuyla I forgot your location but am delighted to hear that you made it through the worst of it. It was horrible to see the news footage. The little things in life, like a great Dorie recipe do make us appreciate how simple pleasures are best- no ? And this was a simple pleasure indeed though your other fruit options have me wondering when I can retry it with those :) We just adored this one.
ReplyDeleteHi Guyla, I am so glad that you are fine in OK. The news reports have been shocking. I like your different combinations of fruits and berries with the tartine - it all looks scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteGuyla, beautiful presentation of your tartines with those wonderfully ripe strawberries, peaches and blackberries and an equally delicious looking pistachio avocado. These were wonderful and easy little recipes and I am happy to read that we all seemed to have agreed on these!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Monday - sorry, I am running so late wth comments we had burst water pipes over the weekend and they are still trying to fix things now...
I hope that putting together some delicious treats was a comforting way to culminate a rather disasterous and uncomfortable week or two. Although your water damage could not have been pleasant, I suspect you are feeling very fortunate. How do people start again the second time??? I also liked both these recipes. I didn't use pistachio oil either and am intending to buy some and make the avocado recipe again. Wrapping it in a flour tortilla sounds good also. And, so does the chocolate balsamic vinegar. You have a nice friend!
ReplyDeleteThese were amazing. And your photo is perfect – lovely !!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dishes! These were so simple and so tasty!
ReplyDeleteI love it when the summer fruits come out at the markets, we are heading into winter so I'm very jealous!
I'm a little slow on getting to last week's posts. Your tartines and avocado look delicious. I'm glad that you made it through the storms safely, though sorry to hear about the flooding.
ReplyDeleteare you serious? chocolate balsamic??? so jealous! :)
