Do you ever have those moments in the car when you seem to forget there are other people around and you end up jamming out and singing at the top of your lungs looking like a fool getting lost in a song??
Yep this definitely happened.
Yep this definitely happened.
Best part is, it didn't just happen to me either. I looked to my left and saw a girl, looking adorable in her work clothes I should add, singing the exact same song I was. We made eye contact, became mortified together and then laughed at our unspoken connection. And what was this song you ask that made me become a tiny high school girl again??
......Call Me Maybe.
That's right. And now it will be stuck in your head all day.
You're welcome.

Awesome! I love grapefruit, so yummy - this is a creative way to eat it!
YUMMY! I need to totally try this!
LOOOVE me some Blondie baby! I do that all the time because obviously when I'm in my car, I morph into a female rock star and my seat is my stage yo!
I have been known as a car singer before! lol! Have you ever seen that show that used to be on MTV, where they secretly video tape you in the car and the people are singing? Sometimes when I sing I think of that and think of all those people who hear my key voice!
Your grapefruit looks yummy!!
I've always wanted to try this baked grapefruit thing, looks delicious!

Love the idea of a spiced up, toasty grapefruit for breakfast. Way to go on the clean eating kick, Kelly! Thanks for sharing!
Great photos!
How have I not thought of baking a grapefruit before? I'm definitely going to have to try this one!
This looks delicious!! And I am totally the person who gets caught belting out the Wicked Soundtrack in the car. So I completely understand how you feel.
I have got to get on board with the broiled grapefruit! I love it plain but have just been too afraid to heat it up. Love the added spices too.
I can so picture t as I think everyone's singing that song in their car right now-including my four year old!
This sounds sinful...without actually being "bad" for you! Can't wait to give it a try :)
That sounds absolutely delicious. I have had some grapefruits in my fridge for a week or so because the are just a little too bitter to eat on their own. I am definitely going to try this!
Super yum! Need to try grapefruit this way. Btw, I already had that song in my head before you mentioned it.. raaaar! lol
Bahahahaha! The same exact thing with the same exact song happened to me last week!!! So embarrassing! Clever idea for spicing up (get it) grapefruit!!!
Need this for breakfast! Can't wait to give this a try. It looks so delicious.
I must say, I am not the biggest grapefruit person in the world, but I am definitely willing to try it based on this recipe!
You have the MOST beautiful pictures. Love your posts.
bahahahahah. hahaha. I still love you, even if you sing that song :)
I love it when fun little thing happen in life like your singing in the car! Great story! I've had grapefruit with honey and cinnamon but I love, love your addition of the cardamom and vanilla. Delicious!
Oh that song...I have definitely rocked out in my car to that and not even cared if others were watching. It just has the power to do that to a girl! I'm the same way in my office when my Grooveshark plays Run Away Baby by Bruno Mars and Everybody Talks by Neon Trees. I can't help but shimmy around! haha! :)
Love your blog and your recipes.. thanks for sharing! But... I'm on weight watchers (and been very successful!) and I've noticed that some of your points plus values aren't accurate. I make this exact grapefruit recipe and it's only 2 points! The problem is that if you plug the nutritional information of the recipe into the WW website or a points calculator it comes out as 3.... because the carbs in fruits alter the points. However, now that fruits are 0 points the only thing with a PP+ value in this recipe is a tablespoon of honey, which has 2 points! It's awesome that fruits are zero... but it makes calculating tricky. We can no longer just put nutritional info from recipes into a calculator and get an accurate PP+ value (every recipe I try from cooking light, blogs etc I first have to enter every single ingredient in the recipe into the weight watchers recipe builder.. and many times the PP+ value comes out lower than if I had just calculated with the nutritional info). Just thought I would let you know since lots of WW followers love your blog!
Ohh that's SO helpful! Thank you so much for clarifying that for me! :)
Sorry if this is a crazy question. But I made this this morning and while it was delicious, I had a really really hard time eating it. Any tips?
