Roasted Vegetable Galette

Pick up these supplies at your local Trader Joe's to make this delicious Roasted Vegetable Galette from Shutterbean.com

Do we call this Roasted Vegetable Galette or Roasted Vegetable Crostada? I added chimichurri so I’m not sure it’s French or Italian.

We’ll call it a galette because I can remember my Mom liking that word.   Ok, now that that’s settled, Roasted Vegetable Galette is what happens when I am not ready to give into autumn yet and I have the last of the summer vegetables piling up on the counter. Also, this is the time of year when I see all of the Trader Joe’s pie crust and puff pastry and I decide to buy some on a whim.  Your PSL is my pie crust.

Speaking of pie crust. There’s always a sense of hope when I have pie crust in my freezer. I don’t always use it, but I like that it’s there.  It’s like that container of baking soda we had in the fridge for like 5+ years when I was a kid. It’s a familiar face in the fridge. If I’m not careful, it can be a crazy marker of time. A true blast from the past!  It also gives me the power to make magic on a whim as long as I have not reached the time threshold.

Serve it with a salad and you have a great breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. This galette is great at room temperature too. Totally picnic worthy. But for now, it’s my lunch.

Autumn Bucket List 2022

Autumn Bucket List 2022 in the Currently Workbook- Shutterbean.com

It’s Autumn Bucket List 2022 TIME!

Tomorrow (September 22) is the first day of Autumn. Are you READY?!! I’m ready.

I love Autumn. Mostly because I love soup and sweater weather. I like when my home is cozy and not super hot and gross. 

I thrive while covered in a blanket. It’s even better if there’s a rainy day.
