sweet baby sage is two weeks old today and it really feels like we are settling in to our new life as a family of three. we took her for her two week check up today and she is chubbing up nicely and is the picture of baby health.
it has been nice taking a break from teaching, catering and cakes to truly slow down and enjoy this new phase of life, but our little nugget sleeps pretty long stretches until she parties hard from eight to midnight. plenty of time for me to stretch my legs in the kitchen.
of course my first trip out of the house was to my local produce store. i picked up some gorgeous summer peaches to cook up with some leftover homemade ricotta i had made. these galettes are great to bring to those end of summer parties you are headed to as an appetizer or a dessert.
