Individual Strawberry Rhubarb Galettes

It’s spring and rhubarb is in season. I love rhubarb with or on just about anything; last spring I made rhubarb crumb bars which were amazing. Yesterday afternoon I made individual strawberry rhubarb galettes using Martha Stewart’s cornmeal crust recipe. A galette is similar to a pie but more rustic. They turned out beautifully and super delicious. In hindsight I made them a little too big. I got four out of one crust recipe. I think the proportions would work better for 6.

I didn’t really follow a recipe. I’ve made galettes a hundred times so I kinda just threw it all in a bowl. Here’s where I got the idea to make them individually and another galette recipe and how to video on marthastewart.com. Enjoy!

Totally in love with this bedroom. Love all the plaids, green tinted walls and wing chair in the corner. I’m on the search for a light gray wool plaid in red or variegated purples and reds. Thinking it will be amazing in my green den?

Bookshelves Around Door

DSC 1889 Bookshelves Around Door

I started this post thinking I was going to build bookshelves around the window. Now that I see the photo on the page with my inspiration I realize that’s impossible. I don’t have any room above the window. Duh! Eventually we are going to put a new ceiling in, paint the walls, and strip the floors. Maybe I can just put a set of bookshelves next to the window but just not around? I would love to put a table below the window for terrariums.

I often call this the ‘little room’ which next to the upstairs den I am trying to pick paint colors for. Once you walk through the door to the right you enter a bedroom. Remember no real hallways in this house! I have to keep thinking… Below a few photos as inspiration.
