Tasty Tuesday: Broiled Grapefruit, A Fairly Healty Treat For People

Anyone who reads this blog knows how much I like my fat and sugar, but since we have been following the Kolchak Puggle  K9 fitness camp



I figured we were overdue for a somewhat healthy recipe.   I decided to make broiled grapefruit.   I had some at the restaurant Egg in super trendy hipster inhabited Willamsburg, Brooklyn.  Egg is hardly a health restaurant, but it is delicious, and it excels at breakfast.  All of their food comes from a farm in upstate New York and is very reasonably prices, with nothing over 15 dollars.  Anyway, I went to Egg at the end of my summer vacation and had a delicious (and fattening) breakfast there of scrapple, eggs, and broiled grapefruit, and the grapefruit was the best part!  I decided I had to try it at home.  Its a fairly healthy recipe even if there is a tiny bit of butter and sugar (I couldn't help myself).

Broiled Grapefruit With Mint
Ingredients

• 2 large grapefruits
• about 2 tbsp sugar, or to taste
• about 1 tbsp butter, or less
• small bunch of mint

Preheat broiler. Cut the grapefruits in half and loosen the sections with a nice.  Spring about a 1/2 tbsp of sugar over each grapefruit half.  Dot each grape fruit half with a small amount of butter.  Broil for 5 to 7 minutes.  Tear up some mint leaves and sprinkle over the grapefruit.  Serve.

And remember one of the best, and easiest, healthy treats for dogs, a bag of baby carrots!
