Apricot and Cherry Ricotta Galette

Apricot and cherry ricotta galetteOur family just got back from an amazing road trip vacation in Europe.  One German car, two small anxious kids, one big college bound kid, and two crazy parents.  Don’t worry though, we were already crazy before the vacation.  We started in Frankfurt Germany and drove to Europa-Park in Rust, which is one of the most amazing theme parks I’ve ever been to.  Next, we drove to a small French town in the country and visited Nigloland.  This was another European theme park and definitely one of my all time favorites.  It was quaint, gorgeous, and wonderful for little kids.  My husband’s coworker’s family owns the park, so they set us up in a cute little hotel room in the park.  We slept inside the theme park, right under the Ferris Wheel!  Who can say they’ve done that?

Apricot and cherry ricotta galetteWe also spent a day in Gent, Belgium which was a fantastic city filled with ancient buildings and cathedrals and also a super old creepy castle.  Our last stop was the Netherlands, where we stopped in Efteling.  Efteling is another theme park, which is quite possibly the most beautiful park I’ve ever been too.  The theming is impeccable and filled with gorgeous details.  This was easily the best vacation ever.

Now it’s back to work but I needed to ease into something simple and perfect for the lazies out there.  I’m still on a French high, so a galette was perfect!  This Apricot and Cherry Ricotta Galette totally brings me back to the French countryside.  It’s rustic, which I just think is just a fancy word for messy on purpose yet still pretty.  Its also completely creamy and delicious.  You can use store bought dough or of course use your own favorite dough recipe.  But don’t skip the fresh vanilla bean!  It adds so much flavor!
