Sadly enough, I’ve only been strawberry picking a few times.  I’m not sure why either, because I love doing it and I love strawberries!

Recipe at livelaughrowe.comIf I had to pick an all-time favorite dessert using strawberries, I would have to say that it’s Strawberry Shortcake.  I’m a huge fan of using Bisquick for the Shortcake part too.  That’s how mom made them when we were growing up, so I guess you could say it just stuck with me.  

Dang, my mouth is just watering thinking about it….  aaand I digress.  Haha.

Anywho, these Strawberry Galettes are new to me, but another delicious option using the star of the show… strawberries!  I also appreciate how they can be perfectly imperfect too!  Galette is a term used in french cuisine to describe flat round or freeform crusty cakes.  In other words — messy looking is a-okay!

Desserts are the fairy tales of the kitchen,
a happily-ever-after to supper.

The sky is the limit on the fillings, but I went with strawberries for today.  I bet peach or blueberries would be delicious too.  Guess what?  You can even make these with savory fillings as well.  Oh the scrumptious possibilities!!
