Some Fun Recipes:
GRAPEFRUIT BARS by: dessertnowdinnerlater.com
INGREDIENTS
Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature (cut into 8 pieces)
Filling:
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 Tablespoon grapefruit zest
1 cup grapefruit juice (or combination or grapefruit + lemon juice*)
pink food coloring, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease or line an 11x7-inch or 8 to 9-inch square glass baking dish with parchment paper that overhangs 2-inches on both sides.
CRUST: Combine the flour, powdered sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor or stand mixer. Pulse/mix until mixture resembles fine crumbs that start to clump together. Press onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake at 350˚F for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
FILLING: Prepare filling when crust is just about done. Whisk together the sugar and flour in a bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add the zest, juice, and 3 drops or so of food coloring (if desired).
Pour filling over hot crust and bake an additional 20 minutes or until filling no longer jiggles, and edges brown.
Let cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until cold. Lift bars out of pan with parchment paper for easy cutting and serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
*Grapefruits are a very mild citrus fruit compared to tangy lemons or limes. Consider using 3/4 cup of grapefruit juice and 1/4 cup lemon juice to help boost the flavor and/or use more zest (up to 1 Tbsp more). *FYI: Pink or White Grapefruit is more tart than Ruby Red Grapefruit

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar & Honey
By Jennifer Segal
It’s hard to improve on simple roasted Brussels sprouts, but a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a touch of honey bring the flavors to life.
Servings: 6
Total Time: 30 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
1-1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, halved, stems and ragged outer leaves removed*
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Directly on the prepared baking sheet, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of the oil, the salt, and the pepper. Roast, stirring once halfway through, until tender and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of oil, the balsamic vinegar and the honey over the roasted Brussels sprouts. Toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, then serve.
*If you have some brussels sprouts that are very large, cut them into quarters. They should all be cut about the same size to ensure even cooking.
