Summer Squash Galette

August 8, 2016

On Saturday morning, Lisette and I went to Tekoa, a new(ish) breakfast place in my neighborhood for Turkish food. I had an egg-in-a-hole in the form of a Spanakopita and it changed my view on breakfast. So good!! Afterwards I felt a sudden urge to do some cooking with fresh veggies and we headed to the farmer's market, which is so much more fun with a friend. In the afternoon I met up with some other friends for one's moving away party. It started to thunderstorm and we all huddled under a tree. I thought about how I would normally be miserable in this situation, but the circumstances and being surrounded by people who were laughing and having a good time made it all better.

Yesterday I finally settled into my role as an avid Olympics fan, spending most of the day watching the gymnastic qualifiers and swimming. Normally I don't think about these kinds of sports but when the summer Olympics rolls around every four years (in the Winter it's skiing and ice skating) I am ALL about them. There's something magical about watching all of the best athletes in the world completing! I feel like I get so invested and watching becomes an emotional rollercoaster, haha. Also I am still perplexed about how the swimmers can go that fast while doing the backstroke.

Due to the aforementioned trip to the farmer's market, I suddenly had a lot of fresh summer squash on hand this weekend. In my general philosophy, when all else fails, turn it into a galette! Luckily I had some pie crust in my freezer so this was pretty fast (although I would typically try to make the dough myself). Also enjoy this video!

Summer Squash Galette
(serves 2)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out pie dough and drizzle olive oil and garlic and spread evenly over the entire surface. In a circular motion, lay out squash slices.

Fold up the sides of the dough so the whole thing is encased. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle feta on. Garnish with fresh rosemary and brush dough with some olive oil. Place in the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes, until crust is golden brown and the squash is cooked. Remove from oven and enjoy warm.

  • 2 small-medium summer squash, thinly sliced
  • 1 pie crust
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • salt and pepper to taste

Hi! I'm Katherine and I live in Brooklyn. I love baking, trying new food, exploring, traveling, reading, and taking photos.

Happy 💞 Day! Hope everyone had some good chocolate today. ❤️🥰
Went to Mexico a couple weeks ago and ate a diet of 95% tacos and refreshing cocktails. 🌴🍹 Getting out of the Northeast when it was 6 degrees wasn’t bad either. 🤗 Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines and the seafood in Tulum was so fresh and flavorful. Next places in Mexico I want to visit: Mexico City and Oaxaca. #travel #mexico #tulum
Back on here after a nice looong break. 💆🏻‍♀️
In the past couple of months I felt zero urge to bake and it was nice to get away from it for a while to clear my head, relax, and not spend hours taking/editing photos. Moving forward I’ll be doing a little less baking, and more cooking and non-cooking photos, as I’m expanding my interests and also changing my diet (to involve wayyy fewer sweet things). 🌟
I still enjoy creating but I think it’s just starting to come through in different ways! This morning I was at the grocery store and I saw these beautiful artichokes, so I steamed them and made a tzatziki dipping sauce. It was SO simple and so good! 
I’m glad to be back taking some foodie pics. 😊 #f52grams
Better late than never! 🍪 The day of the #virtualcookieparty2018 is over soon and I ALMOST forgot to post my pic but here it is! This year I made brown sugar coconut macaroons, dipped in dark chocolate and topped with sprinkles (the more glitter the better). ✨ The recipe is really easy with just a few ingredients, and is on the blog now. Thanks @cosetteskitchen for hosting!
Giveaway! 🍹 This holiday season I’m looking forward to gift giving. There’s nothing better than festive holiday cocktails - one of my favorite winter drinks is a spicy margarita. I’ve partnered with @wandpdesign to give away a craft cocktail set pictured here. 🥂 To enter, leave a comment and tag a friend, and follow me @katherineinbrooklyn and @wandpdesign! Winner will be chosen 12/14 at noon EST - US entries only.
It’s #nationalcookieday so I had to post some pre-baked ones since I typically like the dough better than the finished cookie! 🍪 Hoping to make some more cookies this weekend. ✨✨
New recipe! It’s #yesyoucranberry. ✨✨ These cranberry cinnamon buns are super gooey and are on the blog now just in time for 🦃 day! #cinnamonbuns
Pink cake for getting through today. ✨ 
@patgmusic and I went to Wildair tonight for dinner! I’ve been dying to go there for years and am so glad we finally tried it. I’ll be dreaming of the oysters, bread, and olive oil forever. ✨✨✨
Feeling hopeful after the Midterm elections so I was motivated to post a recipe on the blog after almost a month of not posting. 😱 There’s work to be done but it’s a good reminder that it’s important to focus on the big issues in life, but also the little things that make you happy. And for me, the little things are doughnuts (and this food blog.) 🍩 So the recipe for these baked banana doughnuts is on the blog now. ✨
