CHERRIES.

For some reason cherries always reminds me of my dad. I think because when we would get sundaes or a dessert topped with a cherry I would always scrunch my nose up at the little garnish. But my dad would happily eat it. For whatever reason I did not find them appealing at all. Fast forward 20 years and I have a true appreciation for cherries. Not only are they pretty little beings, but SO good for us.  Great for the heart, contains antioxidants, can help reduce inflammation and the list goes on.

So obviously cherries should be your new BFF if they aren’t already.

You know what else should be your BFF? GALETTES.

Oh em gee I freaking love galettes. What is a galette, you ask? Essentially it is really easy pie. Or a lazy pie. And often it can be made a touch healthier than normal pie because you don’t need a huge amount of filling (extra sugar and whatnot) like a standard pie recipe can call for.

For this galette we’re using Simple Mills Artisan Bread Mix making this galette gluten-free, grain-free and paleo.

Have you heard of Simple Mills? They are an amazing natural food company with baking mixes, crackers, cookies and frostings – none of which contain any gluten, grain, dairy, soy, GMOs, excessive sugar, fillers or any artificial flavors. Every time I try a new (to me) product of theirs I fall in love. Honestly, their crunchy cookies are so so good. Toasted pecan has my heart.

Simple Mills uses simple ingredients (hence the brand name, get it?) and keeps their ingredient list in their products to a minimum. If you’re looking for easy boxed mixes for baking–without all of the unnecessary junk– Simple Mills is where it’s at. As much as I tend to bake from scratch, I can 100% appreciate boxed mixes because HELLO TIME SAVER. I like to get down with a good short cut and I am sure you do too. Not to mention Simple Mills products are all grain-free and naturally gluten-free. And for anyone that has tested and played around with grain-free baking you know what a challenge that can be. So I am ALL about these Simple Mills baking mixes because it saves so much time if you have trouble finding various grain-free ingredients to create one recipe.

Anyways, you get the point. SIMPLE MILLS = AWESOME.

How to make a Grain-free Rustic Cherry Galette

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: 

• Simple Mills Artisan Bread Mix
• grass-fed butter or coconut oil
• egg
• water
• apple cider vinegar
• cherries
• coconut sugar
• tapioca starch/flour

Trust me, a galette is much easier than it looks. And like I said earlier, basically lazy pie but better!

To create the galette dough you combine the Artisan Bread Mix with frozen grass-fed butter (or coconut oil) water, apple cider vinegar and an egg. You roll that out into a flat circle and add your cherry mixture to the middle.

Gently fold up the sides as shown.

Bake and eat!

Well, let it cool first. But then serve it up with your favorite ice cream. Ice cream and galette desserts are 100% made for each other. In my eyes, the ice cream is a must here. Unless you don’t like desserts à la mode… and if that’s the case who are you?
