Loving Life!! (Cheesecake Swirl Brownies)

What an awesome day..  I spent the majority of it in the kitchen and that makes me one happy Mama..  I don't know what it is about being in there cooking and baking for family and friends that makes me so happy,  but it does..  I made so much today.. it started off with a Plain Cheesecake this morning at 5am..  and it is so gorgeous..  then I made Vegetable Barley Soup and Cheesecake Swirl Brownies to take to work tomorrow.., then cookies.. lots of cookies..  Snickerdoodles, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter..  then I shifted gears and made bread..  Garlic Knots and Italian Parmesan Loaves,  and finally made dinner for tonight Spicy Peanut Noodles with Chicken and Stir Fry Vegetables..  I love doing this..  it is my passion,  my calling and one day I will own my own cafe/coffee shop/bakery..
