Love Me Breakfast - Brown Sugar Broiled Grapefruit

Brown Sugar Broiled Grapefuit

It's been a while since I have done a Love Me Breakfast post.  Actually, It's been a while since I've posted.  I've been a rather busy bee around here lately and there really hasn't been time for the kitchen.

I got a bug up my butt so to say and I decided to go and paint my entire house.  There have been times I have been up to my ears in paint.  Sometimes literally.  I have found paint on my ear, my nose, my knees.....  I'll be posting pictures as soon as I take them!

What else have I been up to?  My mom and I took the kiddo's to Branson, MO for Spring Break for a couple of days.  The kids are getting older and they aren't as appreciative of the pool like they once were though.  That will probably be our last trip.  Time for something new!

Over the weekend I went to a Yoga Workshop taught by a Master Yogi - Noah Maze.  It was absolutely, incredibly amazing!  8 hours of yoga in one weekend.  Pure bliss!  I believe the number of times he adjusted me was around 10.  I haven't showered since....

See, that's me, right there on the right in the striped gray and white tank!!!!

Have you tried making grapefruit this way? If not, you should! The brown sugar gets a little crispy and it's delightful!

Ambrosia or Five Cup Salad

Ambrosia sounds really fancy doesn't it?  Said in a haughty old woman voice - "Yeees Muffy, we are serving Ambrooosia at our paaarty."

All the while it's so far from fancy it's not even funny.

Of course you could always serve it up in fancy little dishes and eat it with your pinky up.
