A grapefruit a day — particularly the red variety — can help keep heart disease at bay. In a controlled study with a group of patients with heart disease, scientists found that feeding some patients the equivalent of one grapefruit daily significantly reduced levels of cholesterol in comparison to patients that did not eat grapefruit. However, grapefruit is known to interact with certain medications —sometimes adversely — so the researchers caution people on prescription medication to consult with their doctor or pharmacist to determine whether their medicine will interact before consuming grapefruit products. As always, appropriate exercise and a well-balanced nutrition counts for a great deal as well.

Beyond the wonderful nutritional benefits, red grapefruits are juicy and delicious! I wish I stopped by the citrus section more often ... usually it's straight for the fresh vegetables and fish aisles. I wasn't sure what to paint today since I left my pepper mill at home - my 'model' for the day. Fortunately, this grapefruit rolled out of my grocery bag yesterday and hid beside my car seat. I painted it, then ate it. My lucky day!

To my single friends out there ... if you are without a dining partner, why not create a wonderful dinner ... even if just for yourself. Put on your favorite music, turn on the festive lights, pour a glass of wine, cook your favorite dish. Be good to yourself ... and Enjoy.
