    And late at night when the kids are in bed, we are always sharing a snack. Mr. Juggling Act loves his salty snacks, while my sweet tooth always rules.

    My red velvet cheesecake brownies might be the one exception Mr. Juggling Act makes because these babies are so decadently delicious.

    Imagine the best fudge brownie you have ever had, tempered by the sweet creaminess of the cheesecake swirl. In a word - heavenly.

    Like most busy parents, Mr. Juggling act and I get precious little time together during the week. After long hours at the office, and a 40 mile one way commute, he's usually exhausted at the end of the day.

    Between the kids, work, my responsibilities to PTA, and lackluster attempt at keeping the house clean, I don't have much more energy myself. All day, I look forward to the 2-3 hours between when he gets home and bedtime. That's the time just for "us."

    Recently, I saw a study that said 'couples who do nothing together are happier.' But it has to be the right kind of do nothing. Not the kind where we're sharing space on the couch, but both on our phones and in our own worlds. Quality time doesn't have to anything elaborate. We've found simply watching HGTV can spark fun "what if" conversations and help us reconnect.

      Getting ready to make these; I'm assuming where to add the flour since it isn't stated in the recipe. I'm sure these will turn out great. Thanks.

      Hi, the recipe doesn’t indicate the quantity of sugar for the brownie mix?

        So sorry! There should 1 cup of sugar in the brownie batter. 🙂
