Memorial Day Cream Cheese Brownies

     With Memorial Day celebrations getting under way, I had no choice but to join the party (my people need me ...I'm fun), ...BUT... I gotta do it "my way"...#operationsuccess   My friend, Elizabeth, and I challenged each other to a sugar free holiday...my ace in the hole is my Protein Powder Baking ...(that goof ball just relies on inner strength...that's so last year, eyeroll followed by hairflip).  My Memorial Day Cream Cheese Brownies were an outrageous winner (my hubby even said they almost taste like the real thing...I'll take it).  AND, each of the 9 large Brownies are only 105 calories, 3.2g net carbs and 7g protein.  Sugar free smiles all the way around this Memorial Day ;)
