When life gives you Grapefruit...make zesty gifts!

We still have TONS of Grapefruit 

and 

I really don't think my family can eat or drink anymore!

So I got zesting...

I love the smell of grapefruit and lavender

and thought the combo would be perfect in bath salts.

I just mixed the epsom salts, grapefruit zest and lavender from our garden all together,

smashing the zest and lavender into the salt with a spoon to help release the oils.

so easy and pretty...

then I went to work on...

I based it on this recipe

in the December issue of Sunset Magazine,

I just altered it slightly by adding a little rosemary.

I can't wait to sprinkle it on fish...

and I decided to try a little Grapefruit Sugar...

I mixed 

1 cup of sugar with 

3 tablespoons of grapefruit zest

and let dry on a platter over night

recipe using this coming soon

Whew...now I am going to go relax in a grapefruit lavender bath :)
