Rhubarb season is still going strong in my area and I am taking advantage of it as much as possible.
I think I've mentioned before, but I've been working hard on growing a garden this year. I've made an attempt at gardening for years already, but I was not blessed with a green thumb. One of the plants I am growing is rhubarb. One of my bulbs isn't growing, but the other just started growing three beautiful stalks. I am so excited! I am a little sad that it took about a month for the stalks to begin growing. I've also planted kale, eggplant, pumpkin, cilantro, chive, rosemary, mint and tomatoes. I am trying to take it slowly with the veggies this year.
My local farmer's market has nothing but super ginormous strawberries around. just look at these strawberries. I set a regular-sized strawberry alongside the rest just for comparison. These strawberries are about four times the size of normal strawberries. This is what I love about going to a farmer's market for my fruit and veggies - you just can't get strawberries like this at the store. At least not in any of my local stores.
I haven't made a galette in ages, and not one for you yet, so this was long overdue. I've always made savory galettes, so I was excited to make something sweet and and Spring-y.
And what is better than a mix of berries with tart rhubarb and crunchy almond granola wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust? Exactly. This galette is pure happiness and sunshine in every bite. That sounds cheesy, doesn't it? Yes, it definitely sounds cheesy. All I know is that I've been going through some emotional stuff (more on that later), and everytime I have a bite of this berry rhubarb galette, I feel whole again.
These mini galettes are the perfect size dessert for one two. I love it with a bit of plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkling of cinnamon. It's perfect. The thick, creamy and slightly bitter plain yogurt really pairs well with this sweet dessert.
Best eaten the same day. If serving the next day, skip the granola.

Elizabeth says
I have never made a galette, but this looks so divine. Thank you for posting!! I must try!
Ana Lynn says
Happy SITS day! That looks absolutely scrumptious! Good luck with your garden, I had a garden for a couple of years and although it was hard work, it was worth it! Unfortunately due to recent dry summers I had to stop my gardening activities because we didn't have enough water to water it all!
Amanda says
I have a few more stalks growing from my rhubarb and I actually have two pumpkins that are sprouting now too. For someone known for ruining plants, this is such an exciting development. I hope you are able to start a new garden soon!
Katherine says
This is perfect. I have so much rhubarb, and other than the typical strawberry-rhubarb crumble, don't know what to do with it. Stopping by from SITS.
Amanda says
Rhubarb goes with everything!! I love the pear/rhubarb and the peach/rhubarb combo a lot. I also like to make a rhubarb syrup (I have a recipe somewhere on the blog). With that, I mix with drinks or fold into yogurt and ice cream!
Lana says
Oh my goodness - everything looks so good! Can't wait to come back and get some great ideas from you. Happy SITS day!
Sue says

I recently decided to eliminate refined sugar from my diet so I don't dare look around your blog. Just wanted to wish you a Happy SITS Day!
Amanda says
You are a stronger woman than I! There are a few healthy recipes (mostly vegan) around if you ever have a moment of weakness and want to look around!

Happy SITS Day! I love how strawberry and rhubarb go together. This sounds amazing!
Joey Lynn Resciniti (@BTaC_blog) says
That looks scrumptious! I love the rhubarb/strawberry combo. I just moved my rhubarb - it wasn't happy and never grew big enough to harvest in the three years I've had it. Maybe next spring!
thedoseofreality says
YUM! This would definitely be a hit in my house! 🙂 Hope you had a happy SITS day!
Jenni says
I absolutely love rhubarb! Think I'll have to try this. Looks so delicious!
Courtney Biggs says
Those look absolutely delicious! I love Spring-y treats as well. I will have to venture and make this recipe for sure. Rhubarb does have a tart taste, and I think that is why I was not too fond of it in a strawberry rhubarb pie, but these look beautiful and scrumptious.
Alysia says
Commenting from Sits! Your food photographs look AMAZING. I can never get such beautiful shots of...uh, anything lol
