Broiled Grapefruit With A Maple Sugar Glaze

I am very blessed to live in a place where citrus trees thrive. I only have to walk out into my backyard to find lemons, oranges and grapefruit. Our grapefruit tree is a bit of a phenomenon... it produces so much fruit we can't eat it fast enough. We guessed that in a season, it produced well over a hundred grapefruits... and they are delicious. I love eating them just as they are. The other day, I did however want to mix it up a bit, and wanted to try them broiled. They turned out really good, and it's super easy!

Ingredients

1 grapefruit, halved

pure maple syrup
turbinado sugar

Directions
1. Set oven to broil.
2. Brush the top of each grapefruit half with the maple syrup.
3. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
4. Place grapefruit halves on a cookie sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved.

Licorice Lemonade

I am always on the lookout for good black licorice. It's one of those things that I like to have in my cupboards for when I need a little something sweet. I thought up this lemonade in attempts to use up the lemons on our tree and satisfy my love of licorice. And with the temperature here pushing 110 degrees Fahrenheit, an ice cold glass of anything, really hits the spot! Lemonade Starter Ingredients 2 1/2 cups water 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest 1 cup fresh lemon juice Directions 1. Mix water and sugar in a pot over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved and set aside to cool. 2. Once the water/sugar mixture has cooled, add remaining ingredients, and stir. 3. Store mixture, covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Licorice Lemonade Ingredients 5 cups water 3 licorice herbal tea bags(I use the Stash Licorice Spice) Lemonade Starter lemon slices ice Directions 1. Boil 5 cups of water in a pot. 2.

A Full Plate

This week, I have a very full plate. I am working on a few blog designs, teaching a cupcake decorating class (which I am sooooo not qualified to do), babysitting for my sis, taking my kids to pick pumpkins and then decorating them... and then all the usual stuff I do. Needless to say, it's bean burritos, oatmeal and take out here at The Veggie-Full Kitchen this week. So, instead of sharing one of my recipe's I thought I would refer everyone who lives in Southern Cali to Native Foods , to try Tanya's new Reuben. It is AMAZING! Just look at my little Sous-Chef.... he can recognize a good sandwich when he sees one... he just can't eat them yet. For those of you not in Southern California, here is a link to Chef Tanya's Blog where she shares some awesome recipes and more. Also, if you are in the market for a dynamite vegan cookbook , she's got one of those too.

My Favorite Vegan Cupcake Recipes...

Earlier this week I made these yummy cupcakes for my 3 year old's birthday. I used a recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. Every recipe I have made from their book I love. These two have vegan cupcakes down to an art! They have everything from your basic Chocolate Cupcake to your more unusual cupcake, like the Pistachio Rosewater Cupcake. I haven't tried one of their recipes that I don't like... these are DEFINITELY some of my favorites!
