Holy Game Changer!

As usual, I was skimming through Pinterest and I found the idea to broil a grapefruit. I saw it again as I was stuck on a plane for what seemed like an eternity last night. I knew I had to try it and it was amazing! I try and eat a grapefruit every day, usually for breakfast and decided since I was staying home today and it's finally gotten cold in Chicago that I deserved something warm and sweet for breakfast. I did one half with the sugar and cinnamon and one plain and they were BOTH delicious but I will say...go ahead and indulge on the sugar one. You can even use sugar in the raw and I bet that would be fantastic. I think I'll make this for Steve for a snack one night since he recently had his first grapefruit and ENJOYED it!

Broiled Grapefruit

Here are the instructions (I've only included the instructions for the not as healthy grapefruit):

Wash and rinse grapefruit
Cut in half, not through the holes but opposite way
Segment out the grapefruits 
Mix 2 teaspoons of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
Sprinkle evenly over each halve
Broil until bubbly

The flesh is warm and soft, the juices caramelize the top of the grapefruit. Its such a great snack!
