Filed under: Recipes, Fruit, Books In the mood for grapefruit today? Turn on your toaster oven. I got this recipe from the really cool book Munchies by Kevin Telles Roberts.

You could make a Monte Cristo Sandwich, though the recipes I'm finding online don't have maple syrup listed in the ingredients. ...
