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.

Notes
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.

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!

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!

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!
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!
Elizabeth says
