Broiled Grapefruit

I saw a pin for broiled grapefruit on Pinterest and I thought it looked & sounded interesting. So, I decided to try it. I would have preferred to use ruby red, but the grocery had only the regular boring grapefruit. So, I took my boring grapefruit home and then went in search of the recipe. That's when I saw that the recipes called for a tablespoon each of butter and white or brown sugar. Um, no!

I used a tablespoon of Brummel & Brown instead and 2 packets of Truvia. In hindsight I felt like a teaspoon of B&B would have been fine. It was too "buttery." But whatever. And you know...it wasn't my thing. I like my grapefruit cold and fresh...

But anyway. I cut out my grapefruit sections, mixed in the Truvia, and returned it to the grapefruit shell, now devoid of pulp,  and broke up a tablespoon of B&B over the top. I broiled it for about 8 minutes. It was actually pretty decent, and I did enjoy the juice.


   

Smart Enough for a B-

Look, he's no rocket scientist, but he makes life pretty simple. He lays down right next to me and gives me bug eyes until I state a few choices he might be interested...the correct answer gets a "woof." Lol. Happy Thursday!
