BBQ Moink Balls

Here’s another installment from Arthur Aguirre.  The guy has some serious BBQ (and photography) skills.  In this post Arthur attacks one of the rising phenomenons of BBQing – The MOINK ball.  Not only does he show you how to do it, but he also explains the origins of the mighty MOINK.  These little nuggets of [...]

Smoked Creole Turkey Breast with Smart Balance and Garlic

With our upcoming event at St. Luke’s called Guys, Grills, and Good Health we decided to document a particularly healthy meal made entirely on the grill.  My dad will take over now and show you how to do it step by step and picture by picture…

Pear and Goat Cheese Crostinis

This is a wonderful appetizer but can also be served as dessert with a fruit & cheese tray along with a nice bottle of wine.

The Sophisticated Side of Grilling – Shrimp and Squash

Often times people think of things like brisket, pulled pork and big fat steaks when they think of food cooked on the grill.  They think of bratwurst and burgers and dogs.  But grilling doesn’t have to revolve around massive cuts of beef and pork or things that require a bun.  Grilling can have a more [...]

Smoked Bologna Bites

This is not the first time I have smoked bologna on the grill.  The first time I did an entire chub of bologna.  I cut it in half and smoked it for about 6 hours.  It looked like this:

It was delicious, but I wanted to see if I could perfect it.  I didn’t do all [...]

More Corned Beef and Cabbage on the Grill and Potatoes too

The Grillin Fools tackled this three different ways.  The first was my take on the classic dish which can be found by clicking here. This is the second installment which was done by my father, Greg – Smokin’ on the Water, Thomas.  He took one of our favorite methods for doing pork loin or brisket [...]

Grilled Corned Beef and Cabbage Just in Time for St. Patty’s Day

With St. Patrick’s day just around the corner and the typical fare of corned beef and cabbage on the menu, the Grillin Fools thought we would do these traditional favorites our way.  My father and cousin, Greg – Smokin on the Water, and Tom – the Big Green Eggspert, will have their own twists on [...]

On Halloween the Grillin Fools are Handing out Pig Candy

No Snickers at my place this year.  Nope.  No Smarties, Sweet Tarts, Twix, Baby Ruth’s, or Butterfingers.  I’m not handing out any run of the mill candy.  I’m handing out pig candy.  If your kids are on a kosher diet, my house may not be the place to be on October 31st because the Grillin [...]

Flat Iron Steak

The Grillin Fools are big steak eaters.  Rib eyes, NY strips, porterhouses, filets, whatever.  You name it and we like to grill it and have even more fun eating it.  Off the beaten path a bit is the flat iron steak. It’s not nearly as popular as its brethren mention above but we still love [...]

Grilled Scallions

I know it sounds a little strange.  Those little bundles of green onions that come two or three for a buck that you normally use as a minor ingredient or as a garnish made into a side dish?  That somewhat bitter onion flavor served by itself without any ranch dipping sauce to go on it [...]
