Spicy Steak Fajitas with Carameliized Shallots and Onions by Cravings of a Lunatic

There is nothing I like better than shallots caramelized in a cast iron pan. It's simple, yet so full of flavour. Any chance I get to make something that includes caramelized shallots and onions I jump at the chance. It adds this slightly sweet tone to any dish. When Sunday Supper announced we would be celebrating Cinco de Mayo for this week's theme I just knew Steak Fajitas with Caramelized Shallots and Onions was the way to go. I have a serious weakness for steak fajitas. I could eat them … [Read more...]

Manly Meaty Chili | Slow Cooker Saturdays

January 26, 2013 by Kim Beaulieu 22 Comments

This chili is not for sissies. Have your guests bring their appetites for this one. It's manly, meaty and chock full of veggies and beans. So many beans you may want to warn your family and friends when you eat this stuff. It's delicious but I'm telling you the next day you don't want anyone behind you. … [Read more...]

Lasagna Soup #SundaySupper

November 4, 2012 by Kim Beaulieu 108 Comments

Hi folks. I cannot believe another week has flown by. Where does the time go? I feel like time is just racing by right now. I have to admit I'm barely keeping up with blogging and life in general lately. For the first time in 24 years I am no longer a stay at home mom. I am working part time. It's not a lot of hours but it's hard work. I work at a farm with horses, so every day is an adventure. This week with the crazy weather the horses had to stay inside. If you know horses they don't like … [Read more...]

Zesty Hamburger Soup for Slow Cooker Saturdays

October 20, 2012 by Kim Beaulieu 55 Comments

Hi folks. Okay I'm going to be honest with you all. I hesitated to post this. It's so hard to take good photos of soup. So I was unsure this was blog worthy. After much (okay that's a lie, let's say a little) discussion on Facebook with some readers and fellow bloggers I decided to pop this up here. You may be saying "but why Lunie, the photo stinks"... well, it does BUT the recipe does not. So I've overcome my trepidation to post ugly soup photos in order to give you tasty recipes. You're … [Read more...]

October 5, 2012 by Kim Beaulieu 14 Comments

Hi folks. There are days when spending all day in the kitchen makes me swoon. Chopping, stirring, making every single thing from scratch. Those days are awesome. Today is NOT one of those days. Today I wanted simple. I wanted easy. I wanted quick. I wanted delicious. And I wanted it all 5 minutes ago. … [Read more...]

Frito Pie Mac and Cheese by The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen

Today's very special guest is Susan from The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen. Susan cooks in a tiny kitchen but it's also really gorgeous and decked out in one of my fave colours in the world. I am also completely in love with her dog and think it's adorable that her blog design has her pug in it with her. To me that just speaks volumes about what an absolute sweetheart Susan really is. She has an impressive collection of Le Creuset that I am seriously envious of. Susan is a really talented … [Read more...]

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...]

Hi folks. For those who are new to my blog, Burning Down The Kitchen is a weekly series where I make a recipe belonging to a fellow blogger that I've bookmarked. I also interview that blogger so myself and others get to know them better. It's just a fun, light-hearted interview where I get to ask silly questions and showcase another blogger. I adore doing this series and it is always a blast every single week. So for any of you who have showed up in my Lunatic Loves These Links series I may … [Read more...]
