I love sharing new food #Holidays with you for many reasons. Including sharing the food gives me the chance to check out foods we might not have tried. Like on February 10th when people around the world celebrated National Cream Cheese Brownie Day #CreamCheeseBrownieDay
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’ve had a Cream Cheese Brownie, and I honestly can’t say its something I want to try. As for Charlie and David, I’m not sure if they’ve had Cream Cheese Brownies or not.
If we were #Homeschooling still I would have let Charlie done a cooking class and we would have made Cream Cheese Brownies for dessert this evening and you can do the same things. I’ve included a recipe below you can use which is kid friendly.
