Grapefruit... Snackgirls thoughts

I love grapefruit. I love the bitterness and the tang. But, I HATE the nightmare of getting it ready to eat. I always remember a friend of mine asking me what I was eating at the kitchen table one morning. I told him it was a grapefruit, would he like some there was another half there. He simply replied 'no way, it looks like way too much work'...

Anyway, have a look at her tips and a read of some of her articles!

Add the dry ingredients, stir in by hand and then stir in the chips. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before eating.
