It all started with the Cocoa Brownies on In A Southern Kitchen! As soon as I read her post, I pulled together everything to make the brownies. Imagining that the calories I burned while pulling the ingredients together would compensate for the fat and calories, I moved forward with the addition of cream cheese. With or without the cheesecake filling, the brownies are heavenly!
That would have been okay but, Cherie over at Cherie’s Stolen Recipes made something called Fried Ladyfish...It’s fish that’s seasoned with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, & chilli powder. The fish is then coated with Semolina and fried in Coconut Oil. I couldn’t get past it and decided to make it with Gulf Shrimp. I had it for lunch today with lemon garlic mayo and there is no adjective to describe the wonderful!
I will be making the Sausage & Egg Casserole from Served Up With Love this week(How can I resist? It has a crescent roll crust!), and the tomorrow being pizza night, I just have to make Sinful Sunday’s BBQ Chicken Pizza.
In all seriousness, this is one of the most fun things about blogging. Not only do you get to share your recipes and stories, you get to experience other blogger’s dishes. With as many cookbooks as I own, the community of blogger’s recipes is fast becoming my favorite.
This has not been the week for effective dieting but, I’m loving it!
Oh…recipe for the cheesecake filling?
1 8-oz bar of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare the brownie batter as directed in Lucy’s recipe. In a bowl, cream the softened cream cheese and sugar until no lumps appear. Add egg, beating well. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until well blended.
Spread about 2/3 of the brownie batter in a prepared pan(follow Lucy’s instructions). Pour cheesecake batter over brownie batter and tilt pan, allowing it to completely cover the brownie layer. Use a tablespoon to randomly drop remaining brownie batter over the cheese cake layer. Run through with knife, making figure eights, to create a marbled effect. Bake for 35 minutes.

@Jay…Thanks
@Charishma…Thanks for the inspiration! Since I only made a small amount for myself, I’m preparing the dish for my family on Friday with a mix of fish & shrimp.
@Jihane…Thanks, I do believe that the pizza will be great!
@Melissa…I’m just glad that you posted the recipe:)
Shawn…you’re awesome! Thanks for the shoutout and blog love. There are few things I love more than cheesecake brownies. You took something delicious and made it way BETTER! My daughter is coming for the weekend so we will be having dressed up brownies. Yum!
I completely agree. My cookbooks are my little babies but the recipes I find through my food bloggers are fast overcoming the number of recipes I wanting to make from my cookbooks. I love these brownies and those fish bites sound amazing to this southern fried seafood lover! Hope you and your daughter have a great time together!
Just mouthwatering…looks so easy to prepare and delicious!
These look delicious, and I had to check out the ladyfish recipe–will definitely be trying that, maybe with some catfish or Mahi.
What a great looking marble brownies! Shawn, you always make good food that make us hungry!
