Lunatic’s Top 10 Grill Recipes

August 23, 2012 by Kim Beaulieu 16 Comments

Welcome to day 7 of the top 10 extravaganza. We are enjoying our down time, trying to spend some time together. There's also lots of prep for a trip like this. Just organizing the animals is like planning a summit. We have 1 horse, 1 dog, 3 cats, and 4 birds. So travelling poses lots of issues and lots of people to watch them all. Horsey will be cared for at the place we board her. Mini-me is friends with the owner's daughter so we've hired her to make sure Gingy gets worked every other day. … [Read more...]

Give a Girl a Grill: T-Bone Steak

August 9, 2012 by Kim Beaulieu 54 Comments

Yah Baby! Sorry but I had to do it. It precluded the usual "hi folks". It had to be said. I don't even feel bad. Sort of the same way I don't even feel bad I ate this whole freaking thing all by myself. What can I say, I was home alone and hungrier than a starving grizzly. Some girls eat more than salad. I ate beans too. I know right. I'm screaming "lady" right about now aren't I? … [Read more...]

Lunie and Mini-me’s Grilled Pizza | Give a Girl a Grill #SundaySupper

July 8, 2012 by Kim Beaulieu 62 Comments

Sunday Supper's theme this week is Kids in the Kitchen. I have to say I love this idea. You all know mini-me helps me in the kitchen on occasion. I love for her to help make pizza. She actually works at a local pizza joint so she's really good at making pizza. Like better than me. And I'm pretty darn good at it. Lots of practice. We make pizza a gazillion times a week. You learn some stuff. Like mini-me is better at stretching dough than her mom. Like loads better. She can make … [Read more...]

Grilled Stone Fruit Shortcakes | Give a Girl a Grill Special Edition for National BBQ Day

June 23, 2012 by Kim Beaulieu 39 Comments

I received an email awhile back letting me know that June 23rd was National BBQ Day. I had no idea. So being the kind of gal who loves to grill I knew I had to participate in this fun event. Then I pinched a nerve in my neck. Yup, that's me. Either falling down or something to that effect. Then mini-me's achilles injury reared its ugly head again. So it's been an interesting week here at the Bee household. Never one to miss an opportunity to grill I decided to come up with something easy to do … [Read more...]

Grilled Pineapple by Cravings of a Lunatic

I am so happy to be here with a new edition of Give a Girl a Grill. I love to grill. I mean love, love, love it. I will not let hubs anywhere near my grill. Ya, you heard me. MY GRILL! It is mine. All mine! He can go water the flowers or something. The grill belongs to me. Most days I can be found grilling in the summer time. It saves our house from getting swelteringly (what? it's a word!) hot. Our a/c blows, but not in a good way. When we bought my folks place after my dad passed away we … [Read more...]

Rib Steak on a Gorgeous Day

November 2, 2011 by Kim Beaulieu 25 Comments

Hi folks. We had one beautiful day last week so I decided to make the most of it and barbecue some steaks. So simple. These were thicker than I normally do. Quite often when I buy my steak at Costco I cut it in half as I find them too thick. This time I left them alone and slapped them on the grill nice and thick. Turned out wonderfully. … [Read more...]

Quick and Easy Garlic Bread

August 20, 2011 by Kim Beaulieu 26 Comments

Hi folks. Another quick post as we need to head to the barn to visit horsey. Mini-me has not ridden her much this week as horsey's feet needed to be done then once they were done we gave her a couple days off. Her toesies were a bit long so good to give her a break as it was a good trim. Let her have time to adjust. So today we need to haul butt and get mini-me's butt in the saddle before she goes to work. … [Read more...]
