But, plain grapefruit feels like “diet food” to me so I dress it up a little and turn into a treat that tastes like a decadent dessert but without the high calorie and fat count more desserts have.

Broiled grapefruit is easy and quick to make; and by my calculations a half of broiled grapefruit is just 1 Weight Watcher point (but check points values yourself to be sure).

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT
Ingredients:
1 grapefruit half
1 teaspoon brown sugar
cinnamon
optional: pinch of ground nutmeg and pinch of ground cloves

Turn oven to broil.
Section grapefruit with sharp knife, leaving it intact in the peel.
Sprinkle with brown sugar, a light dusting of cinnamon, and a small pinch of nutmeg and/or ground cloves if desired (a very small pinch of ground cloves – a little goes a long way).
Heat under broiler until sugar browns, about 5 minutes.
Eat and enjoy!
