Cranberry Blueberry Galette
Hi, y’all! How’s your week going? I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a severe case of the winter blues and need some kind of sunshine happening over here! So I baked you a pie!
Ok! Ok! I cheated and baked you a fake pie. Well, what I baked isn’t fake. I baked something that’s real. It’s just not really a pie. It’s an easy free-form pie otherwise known as a galette. You can call it a tart if that blows your dress up. This is a judgment free zone.
I’m just so happy looking at all these bright and cheery berries! I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but here it’s been either dark, gloomy, rainy, and humid or dark, gloomy, rainy, and cold. Oh! And don’t forget windy. I’m not joking when I say the wind has been so crazy there are trees and power lines falling all over the place! Whaaaat? So, I’m totally ready for some warm weather and sunshine! Who’s with me?!
Fortunately, spring is right around the corner and so is my birthday! Woot! It sure will be great to turn 29 again. 😉
What are you laughing at? 🙂
Have a fantastic weekend, friends!

I think we have all your sunshine. It has been sunny here every day for over a week now. Maybe I have spoken to soon.
I love galettes for the simple reason that I can get away with it being messy, as it’s meant to look like that.

Lucky you for all the sun! Messy = rustic! 🙂

I totally LOVE galettes Rachelle! Not only because they are delicious but because I am so terrible at making a pretty pie crust! I need to take a class on making them! Love the blueberry cranberry combo!
rachelle
I totally get that, Mary Ann! I’m terrible too! Galette’s are the perfect solution!
Kathy @ Beyond the Chicken Coop
Just what we need on these dreary winter days. This definitely brightens my day. Love the combo of blueberries and cranberries.
rachelle
Thanks, Kathy! How are the chickens? Are there adorable babies running around?
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary
Dudette, the weather here sure is wacky! It was crazy windy yesterday and there were 3 tornados I’m aware of near here. Not cool. This fake pie is exactly what this crazy weather calls for- vibrant, beautiful and seriously delicious! Feel free to send the entire galette my way. 😉 Cheers, my dear to a lifetime of being young. Xo
rachelle
Dude. That weather was nutso. There was no power and trees, power lines, and cables down! Come get my galette because my butt doesn’t need it. Cheers to my youth! 🙂
mira
Yeah, we do need some sunshine here, too! But instead, I can take this galette and enjoy it! Looks gorgeous!
rachelle
Thanks, Mira!

I adore the rustic look of galettes! Cranberry and Blueberry sound wonderful together. This certainly brought a little sunshine my way!!
rachelle
Thanks, Jen! I make ugly pies, so I call them galettes and describe them as rustic! 🙂
Amanda
This definitely is cheery! It put a smile right on my face. This is so pretty. Woohoo for galettes. ????
rachelle
Woohoo for galettes! Thanks, Amanda! 🙂

I’ve never made a galette – what an easy way to get your pie fix with minimal effort. What a cheerful treat 🙂
rachelle
Agreed! It’s totally the way to go! Thanks, Megan!

I hear you… Before we know it we’ll be hearing the birds chirpin’ and we’ll be throwin’ on our sunscreen. Please remember to take care of that 29 year old skin of yours…my 29 year old skin thanks me for it, everyday. I love the rusticity of this galette – lovely!
rachelle
Pass the sunscreen, Annie!
karrie @ Tasty Ever After
I am berry glad you made this fake pie for me! heeheeeheee 🙂 I’m so sick and tired of being sick and tired over the cold weather. The weird thing is once I start bitching about it, it turns warm. For example, I bitched yesterday about it being too cold and today it was 60 degrees! Who knew that I have some sort of connection with the weather system?? Freakin’ amazing, but not as freakin’ amazing as this pie, or tart, or galette, or awesome very berry goodness. Either way, I’m makin’ and eatin’ it and I will promptly gain back the 5lbs I just lost. Thanks…
rachelle
OMG! You’re a hot mess in a cold place! Thanks for cracking me up and I hope those 5 lbs plus another 5 go back from whence they came! 🙂
Ashley@CookNourishBliss
Oh this galette is just so pretty with those colors!! Fresh cranberries are just the best!
rachelle
Fresh is always best! Thanks, Ashley!
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice
Galettes are such a pretty dessert! Love this cranberry and blueberry combo. Reminds me that spring is (hopefully) on its way!
rachelle
Bring Spring!!!!! Thanks, Gayle!
Medha @ Whisk & Shout
This galette is a stunner! I love how you used fresh cranberries and I love the ease and rustic quality of this galette 🙂
rachelle
Thanks, Medha! Rustic = ugly or sloppy in my world! I’m so glad there is a word to make it acceptable!
Linda @ Veganosity
That galette is so gorgeous and happy looking. It makes me want to hop on a plane and fly to Alabama to visit my son, and visit Gallettes’ in Tuscaloosa for a Yellowhammer. Now THAT would make me happy. 😉
Winter winds are certainly wreaking havoc on most of the country. I was afraid a tree was going to fall on my house last Friday. Did you see any of the news footage of the glass, boards, and people blowing through Chicago? CRAZY!
I thought of you on Thursday as I was sitting in a court room with my sister-in-law. She’s going through an ugly divorce and doesn’t have a working car so I offered to drive her. Little did I know that she would beg me to go in with her. Of course, I did, looking like Napoleon Dynamite. I was wearing work out clothes, plaid snow boots, a long North Face coat, and very little make-up. All of the nicely dressed female lawyers kept looking at me like, “who’s the sad woman who can’t dress herself?” Womp, womp.
rachelle
I must know more about this Yellowhammer! I did see all the shenanigans with the crazy winds! Scary!
Dude. I fell for you with your court experience. Next time go to the criminal courtroom and you will be the best looking Napoleon Dynamite in the place! 🙂
Keri @ Fashionable Foods
I’m super ready for warm sunny weather! This galette looks amazing – love the combo of cranberries and blueberries!
Mir
I’ve got the winter blues, too. So sad. I need to get out of it by baking more galettes! Yours looks totally awesome.
Anu - My Ginger Garlic Kitchen
You know what, berry galette is in my to-bake list for so long, and now is the time to bake it. I think winter blues are everywhere. But this looks so vibrant, pretty and delicious which would sure make my day!
rachelle
It’s totally time! End those winter blues!
