Baking with whole grains has opened up a new world of possibilities for me. Although I’m currently dealing with a wheat sensitivity and can’t partake of half the pan as I’d like, I seem to do somewhat better when I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour in recipes. Although these sticky buns are made with whole grains, they’re still an ooey gooey indulgence.

I have turned into a strawberry fiend lately. I’ve always liked strawberries, but since they’ve started appearing en masse at the grocery in the past month or so, I feel like a “strawberry love” switch has been turned on in my brain. It doesn’t hurt that the first couple of pounds that I bought were some of the best strawberries I’ve had in my life. So, naturally, I had to make this strawberry galette pretty much as soon as I saw the picture in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living.
