Thank you so much, Sketched Chef! Truthfully, I had a lot of trouble with these photos. The galette was delicious, but not so easy to photograph, lol! I'm so glad you enjoyed the post. Thank you for the sweet comment 🙂
I've never seen anything quite like this! It is a bit different from what I normally bake but I'm always looking for a new recipe to try out and this is a perfect one. Also, I can imagine that it's a bit healthier because of all the citrus fruit in it. 🙂 (At least I can think so - right? 😉 )
Oh, sure, totally healthy 😉 Lots of vitamin C! I hope you enjoy, Katy, and have a great week!
