Maple-Molasses Baked Beans

There has always been several things that I didn't make throughout the years due to the fact that I figured taking a short cut would be easier. And for the most part, it was. Who hasn't picked up a can of baked beans instead of slaving over a hot stove... Continue reading

7-Layer Ice Cream Cake

Growing up, a birthday just wasn't complete without an ice cream cake. Homemade cake? Oh, no. I shunned that long ago when my mother refused to make anything other than a sheet cake from a box. Requests for a round layered cake were always met with the usual comment that... Continue reading

Corn and Cherry Tomato Salad

Last year marked the first year that I had attempted a garden and while we got plenty of produce from what I had planted, I became quite greedy with my plans this year. You see, I planted too much and while that may sound like a good thing, when you... Continue reading

Cherry-Almond Biscotti

I have a bit of a ritual as of late on Sunday's. To me there seems to be nothing better than waking up late (okay, not too late. We are talking about 8:30 am here people) going into the kitchen, making myself a Nespresso latte and then grabbing a book... Continue reading

Where I have been... And an Espresso- Chocolate Ganache Tart

I understand that I truly don't have a major excuse except that life got in the way. As many of you have read throughout the past few years of me doing this blog, I have moved... ALOT. As expected, when I finally was able to stay in one place for... Continue reading

Is it just me? Or do you have to yell out, "YOLO!" everytime you hear Rolo too? As in, "ROLO... YOLO!" Okay, I guess it's only me. However, I'm willing to bet it isn't only me who loves Rolo's. There was a time where I felt that Rolo's had dropped... Continue reading

Pumpkin Spice Skull Pound Cake

Ahhh, Fall. My favorite time of the year and the season that I truly didn't get to experience living in until my mid twenties. You know. Real Fall. Where the leaves change, you can start to cozy up by the fire, the season's of comfort food has begun and the... Continue reading

Littleneck Clams with Fingerling Potatoes and Spring Onions

Good grief it sure has been a long time since I have posted on here. I know, I know... too long. However, I have some good reasons, what with the move and moving into a house we had previously had tenants in, I sure have been busy fixing it up... Continue reading

Carrot Layer Cake

It is so hard to believe that a whole two years has gone by since I have actually started writing, cooking, picture taking and posting. Gastronome Tart was a vision I have had for well over two years, however never got around to actually making it a reality until one... Continue reading

Guinness Braised Short Ribs with Smashed Sage-Quark Sweet Potatoes

I must admit that this New Year of 2013 has already brought much change. I started it in another city, a different home and with a renewed perspective. Although I am a confessed social media addict (currently in recovery), I have decided to not become so engrossed in my personal... Continue reading

Chocolate-Cherry Blondies

It is a New Year and as usual like all New Year's I have been busy counting points, tracking my weight all while running a food blog... Yeah. I know. Yet, sometimes I just can't help myself. I wanted to get back in the kitchen. Bake something. Anything. So, I... Continue reading

Walnut Streusel Bread

I have always loved quick breads, because well... they are quick. Okay, okay it truly isn't that cut and dry. I mean, who doesn't love sweet, moist, bread?! This bread is somewhat of a cross between a cinnamon roll (minus the raisins) and your basic walnut bread. Utterly delicious and... Continue reading

Favorite 5 Posts of 2012

What fun would ringing in the New Year be without "Top List's"?! You know, the ones that say: Top 10 Wines of the Year, Top 5 Songs of the Year etc. Lest you think that food blogs are the exception, let me explain. We love this sort of thing. So,... Continue reading
