Grilling for the Holidays

Tis the season for caroling, shopping, freezing, snowing, sharing, giving, and, of course, maybe the most important part which is spending time with friends and family.  It’s this time of year that we get together to be thankful as the Pilgrims did so many years ago and then to share and give on Christmas Eve [...]

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 [...]

Grilled Pizzas!!

When most people think of grilling they think of ribs, steak, pulled pork, chicken, etc.  The Grillin Fools are very familiar with all of the above and love each and every one of those items on the grill, but sometimes we like to step outside the box and get a little creative.  Whether it’s crostinis, [...]

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimps

A very common item on the Grillin Fool’s menu is bacon wrapped shrimp but for some reason I have very few pics of this incredible and easy side or appetizer. One of the reasons I make these so often as that they are so versatile. I can all kinds of things with these [...]

Bacon Wrapped Deer Tenderloin – It just wouldn’t be my birthday without something wrapped in bacon!!

One of the main dishes for my birthday was bacon wrapped deer tenderloin. I’ve had deer in the past as I have many friends and family that are hunters, but it’s always been a bit of an after thought rather than something I have taken a lot of time to prepare and cook. More [...]

Who needs Baked Beans when you can have Grilled Beans!!

Baked beans have been a standard staple in terms of a side dish for BBQ seemingly forever. But why settle for baked beans? The grill is already up and running, why not use it to take baked beans to the next level. Why not impart some of that amazing smoky flavor that [...]

Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Inspired by the bacon explosion I decided to try a bacon weave wrapped around a pair of pork tenderloins tied together. As the saying goes, everything is better with bacon. I also have some pics from a fellow grillin fool who also did a bacon wrapped pork loin a few weeks ago that [...]

How the GrillinFool celebrated the Super Bowl – Part I – Bacon Explosion

Oh, what a joyous day. I love the Super Bowl. I love the culmination of the NFL season. I love the commercials. I love that it is practically a holiday that everyone gets together for. And most of all I love the food. And this year we may have gone a little overboard. If you [...]

How the GrillinFool celebrated the Super Bowl – Part III – Atomic Buffalo Turds

And finally we have the Atomic Buffalo Turds (ABT’s). Don’t let the name scare you. These things are incredible. A jalepeno stuffed with cream cheese a little smoky and wrapped with a half a slice of bacon. And for those of you that think this will be way to hot trust [...]

One of my first photo shoots

I found a file with some old pics on a my desktop at home last night. This is one of the first times I decided to document the process with a camera. I’m guessing this may have been 3 summers ago because I was incredibly proud of my Kershaw Shun Knives that got [...]
