Cherry & Almond Galette
For those who know me and my family, it comes as no surprise that I am in the middle of cherry season. You may think that since I spend long days around cherries, the last thing I want to do is see the fruit when I come home. While that could be true, I would not be able to make one of my favorite cherry desserts, Cherry & Almond Galette.

Every time I go out into my backyard, I am looking at a salvage yard.
