Low Carb Lemon Brownies with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

Have a new recipe for you all.  This one is Sweet-n-Sour.  I got this idea from a friend that posted the recipe on facebook.  Here( http://meeshiesmom.com/2012/03/26/lemon-brownies) is the original recipe.  I converted it to low carb.  It is very good.  The frosting I didn't add any sweetener as I wanted it tangy.  It compliments the sweetness of the brownie.  I got 5 thumbs up on this one.  The kids really enjoyed them.
