I’m finally in DC for good.

I made it here yesterday afternoon after about 20 hours worth of driving.  I did stop in both Chicago and Pittsburgh overnight. It was quite a drive. I do have to say that Maryland and Virginia are incredibly beautiful states.

I simply adore Chicago though. It has everything a girl could want: Michigan Avenue, deep-dish pizza, cute men, and the Navy Pier. Hello, romance waiting to happen! It’s my mission to get back there soon.

After eating Subway for three days straight on the road, it’s time for Brûlée people! And not the kind made with creme!

If you are wondering what Brûlée stands for… It’s French for awesome. Kidding, it means burnt, but it’s actually a caramelized sugar topping.

If I made this for a boy, I wonder if he would think I was mega incredible? More than likely. Caramelizing things does wonders.

Grapefruits with caramelized sugar are simply sophisticated.

And if you have a blow torch it makes it you even more awesome.

Now since not many people tend to have blow torches, these can be made in the oven under the broiler. I told you it was simple!

Let’s get started. Cut your grapefruit in half and section each with a knife. This way the brown sugar will really get into the juicy part of the fruit.

Lovely brown sugar gets sprinkled on top.

Pop under the broiler for about 5 minutes. Blowtorch them if you are super cool. Watch out though! Don’t burn them!

They get dressed up with flavor with a bit of blueberry sauce and greek yogurt.

The blueberry sauce includes sugar, orange juice, vanilla, and cinnamon.

It’s time to fall in love with breakfast all over again.

Digging into this was amazing. Sweet, tart, creamy and fruity. Grapefruits are in season too!

Get your blow torch ready.
