Good morning, dear ones! 🙂 How are you this fine, Autumn day? I am sleepy (up waaaay too late last night!) but so excited to be sharing my first giveaway with you!!
You’ve been such dear and supportive readers and this weekend I want to say thanks. A friend gave me a marvy collection of the most delectable salts from around the world, and I am giving away one cork-topped jar of artisan salt to three of you. I will ship anywhere in the world so you are ALL welcome to enter! 🙂 Winners will be announced next week and will receive one of the following salts:
- Flower of Bali from Indonesia
- Peruvian Pink from Peru
- Flor de Sel from France
To Enter simply comment below or on Facebook at RamblingTart. I’d love to know where you’re from and what you’d like to see more or less of on RamblingTart. Is there a country you’d like to learn more about? Perhaps a specific cuisine? Anything at all! I’d love to know your thoughts. 🙂
In the meantime I’ll share with you a positively SCRUMPTIOUS and easy crockpot roast I made this week. I salted and peppered the beef, placed it in the crockpot and sprinkled it with sliced garlic and fresh rosemary sprigs. Then I mixed 1 can of mushroom soup, 1 can almond milk and one envelope of onion soup mix and poured that over the beef, turning it a few times to coat. I popped on the lid and cooked it on low for 8 hours. Oh mercy. My house smelled positively heavenly when I woke the next morning and the beef was fork tender and savory as can be. The soups make a divine gravy so all you have to do is shred the meat, pour on the gravy and you’re set. 🙂
Happy weekending, dear folks!! Good luck with the giveaway. 🙂

Wouldn’t we all love to have this delicious crock pot roast ready and waiting when we come home from work. I enjoy your blog as is with little snippets of travels you have been on. Since you were in Italy perhaps there was some food that stood out for you there? I am ready to do some armchair travelling from British Columbia.
Thank you so much, Val. 🙂 There were definitely Italian foods that stood out!! I will do some posts on them for you soon. 🙂
Roast is one of the first things on my ‘fall list’ of dinners, yours looks incredibly delicious! Yum!
Thank you, Mallory!! I just love it when the meat gets so tender and delicious. 🙂
I bought some Flor de Sal (this brand, actually) a few months ago. It’s amazing what difference GOOD salt makes on your food!
pick me! pick me! Love your blog just as it is 🙂
I am loving your blog Krista! Especially when you’ve shared about your painful journey from the Institute day – right there with you. I really think you need to stop by Russia the next time you’re on this side of the pond. I’ll make you borsht and lots of chai. 🙂 blessings! Susan
Your roast looks amazing! And I love fancy salts… I have sort of an addiction… I have a spice drawer and also a salt drawer! But I have never had salt from Bali!
I adore all the photos–of both food and scenery. They make me Happy!
yes please, enter me for the salt. i’d love to read more about all of your travels to places overseas like france, italy, etc. keep up the good work though.
i would love to learn more about peru and the cuisine of the andes.
Salt…..is it not the nectar of the gods? It is my most favorite of all the seasonings. I love trying new salts, especially any one of these you are offering.
It’s been a long time since I’ve cooked (or eaten) a roast. This sounds delicious.
Krista, that roast looks so divine! You can see how soft it is right there! 😮 Gorgeous giveaway too! 🙂
Wow Krista, this roast looks so juicy & tender & such a simple idea. I love *that smell*.., walking in on a cold winters day (or in your case waking up to it) & your hit with that welcome home honey smell.., I can imagine this roast would’ve greeted you this way for sure.
Love the salt competition, I’m a fanatic about a good salt, in fact I’d almost go so far as to say salts can be like wines depending on the different regions you get a whole different taste going on there, so think your little salt giveaway sounds amazing. I’ve never tasted Peruvian Pink from Peru so would be so interested to try that one out.
Thanks for sharing Krista. Have an awesome weekend.
Cheers Anna
happy weekend to you too! hope your enjoying it already 🙂 keep smiling.
have a lovely weekend 🙂

I love my crockpot. I’ve been meaning to make a roast of some sort, too! Hopefully, using your salt. 😉
The roast looks amazing. And now I’m craving it at 11:20 at night. As usual, amazing pictures… simply mouth-watering. Have a great weekend!
I’ve learned that there are way more ingredients than I’ve been using. I need to broaden my cooking horizons.
Hi Krista,
Everything you post looks so finger licking good, I can’t decide which I love more, your photos are so romantic and inspiring, all I want is to thank you and hope for more inspiring posts.
Love
What a super giveaway! I love salts….I have some fleur de sel and some truffle salt, but would love to try some others.
Fabulous photo of your roast, Krista! It’ looks moist and delicious. I haven’t had a crock pot for years, but imagine this can be done stovetop as well.
Dear Krista, You have a special way of taking your readers along with you on these wonderful eating & sightseeing adventures. I feel I’m there with you on the journey. Would absolutely love to experience the taste of Luxembourg with you and discover a secret hideaway with beautiful scenery over there. (in similar style to your previous coverage of Lake Blad). My maternal grandfather was from Luxembourg and it has always fascinated me.
To quote RLS: “the world is so full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings”. Love your blog, Glenna
Hey you…thanks for your posts…keep the great quotes coming.
Oooo Salt! I think it should be sent to Denver, Colorado! Lots of love and love what you’re doing with Rambling Tart… just love to see more of it! xoxo Corrie
You do some amazing things on here, and the photos make them so much fun to check out! I would love to see some Indonesian recipes, but any country from around the world has unique and savory dishes that are so delicious! If you can’t travel the world, experiment with the foods from other cultures. It is always rewarding and a rich experience!
Krista, that meat is PERFECTLY cooked! It’s making me crave some serious comfort food just looking at it!
Thanks so much for the giveaway! Coming here never fails to put a smile on my face and warm my soul. You are just the sweetest! Keep on doing what you’re doing!

Delightful Bitefuls
I like your salty giveaway! The Peruvian pink looks intriguing.
My suggestion for a topic is how the kind of foods you grew up with has influenced your cooking style (or not).
Hello darling
just to let you know that your crockpot roast looks delicious and I must absolutely try it this weekend!!
All of yoour recipes are so yummy but I wouldn’t mind to learn more about russian cuisine ..I bet you know a lot about it too ?!
A big hug 🙂

Just saw your comment on my blog- I wish you’d take a road trip down to LA, I would love to host you with my favorite “patio living.” 😉 Also, I love everything you blog, but I’d also love more classic British fare… do you have a good recipe for Cottage Pie, for example? I keep trying to figure it out, but have never quite mastered the flavor…
