strawberry galette

i had a ton of extra strawberries hanging around my kitchen as well as an extra pie crust sitting in my fridge from when i made quiche. when i realized i was going to be working on Valentine's Day, i seized the opportunity to use up the strawberries and pie crust by making a strawberry galette. 

it's super simple and easy. served with some cool whip, it's a nice end to a meal.
