Hello there! Hope everyone is doing amazing! The summer is in full swing, and it can't be anymore my kinda season/weather/time of year/everything happy! I LOVE IT! I love the summertime so much that I think it transforms my general outlook on life ;) I guess the hot temps are in my blood :)

Well, how are you guys livin' it up? Hope you're eating well and enjoying the bounty that this season has to offer. And on that note, the summer is the best season to enjoy berries and citrus fruits. The heat brings out the the sugars in the fruit and it makes them ripe and juicy. Yum!

I cashed in on these lovely fresh berries at the local store and decided to make a simple Galette for an impromptu picnic we got invited to today. And guys, if you're in a rush, at Galette is the answer. Rustic, sweet and easy to make!

For those who do not know what a Galette is, it's French for free form crusty cakes/bakes. Freeform = rustic and therefore you don't have to be perfect with the folding of the dough :)

There are three easy steps to make your Galette. Pick your fruit (berries and firm juicy fruits like plums and peaches work well. Stay away from fruits with very high water content) Make the pie dough. Bake!

Boom. Done. Told ya it was a piece of cake... err... Galette :)

OK, so who wants to make this baby! Let's go.
