So I realized that my last 4 recipes were desserts...I was going to apologize for that, but we all need a little dessert in our lives :)

Anyway, I figured a substantial dinner recipe was much needed. I had to post the best dinner recipe that I drool over every time when I make it. (I promise, no fajitas were actually harmed in the process of my drooling.)

You will love these and they are so quick to make after a long day at work!

Total Time: 40 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Yield: Feeds a family of 4

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 lb. chicken tenders, cut into strips
• 4 Tablespoons lime juice (about 2 limes)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1 medium onion, cut into strips
• 1 small green pepper, cut into strips
• 1 small red pepper, cut into strips
• 3/4 cup salsa (I use mild but use whatever you prefer!)
• 1 bag medium-sized tortillas
• Additional toppings:  Cheddar cheese, sour cream, taco rice (We love the Knorr taco rice in our fajitas!)

Directions:

1. Combine the lime juice, garlic, chili powder and cumin for the marinade. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for about 15 minutes.
2. Add a little bit of vegetable oil to a large nonstick skillet. Add the chicken and cook until it loses its pink color, about 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken strips.
3. Add onions and peppers. Cook 3 minutes or until crisp.
4. Remove any excess liquid from the pan. Add the salsa and heat through, stirring to combine.
5. Fold up your fajitas and enjoy!!

Even though we're getting into the cold of winter, there is still always time for ice cream! Plus, I'm adding this recipe because my camera currently has about 20 different recipe's pictures on it and my dang computer's SD card reader isn't working...time for a visit to the Apple store! :(

But like I said, there's always a time for ice cream! And this cake will always do the trick! If you are a fan of the ever-popular malted milk ball, you will love this cake! Even if you aren't a fan, you can eliminate some of the malt powder and you will still love it. :)

Total Time: about 6 hours
Freezer Time: 5 hours
Bake Time: 12 minutes
Active Time: 35 minutes

Yield: about 16 pieces

Ingredients:

• 1 pouch Betty Crocker double chocolate chunk cookie mix
• 2/3 cup chocolate malted milk powder, divided
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 Tablespoons water
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup hot fudge topping
• 1 cup crushed malted milk balls
• 1 container chocolate-vanilla ice cream, softened (I used the container that is split in half, but you will be mixing the flavors together anyway. A twisted ice cream would also work!)
• 1 cup CoolWhip, thawed

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 10" springform pan with cooking spray. Also line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cookie mix, 1/3 cup of malted milk powder, vegetable oil, water, and egg until a soft dough begins to form. Press half of this dough into the bottom of the prepared springform pan; set aside.  Place the remaining dough onto the cookie sheet and shape into a large 10" circle.
3. Bake each pan 12-13 minutes, or until set. Allow the springform pan to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Let the large cookie cool about 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely.
4. Spread the hot fudge topping over the crust in the springform pan. 
5. In a medium bowl, crumble the large cookie into pieces. Add the crushed malted milk balls and stir. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the hot fudge. Press in gently.
6. In a large bowl, mix together the vanilla and chocolate ice creams. Add the remaining chocolate malt powder until well blended. Spread the ice cream mixture over the crumb mixture in the springform. Gently spread the CoolWhip on top. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Cover the pan with foil and allow to freeze for at least 5 hours. 
7. When ready to serve, remove the sides of the springform pan gently. Let stand for 5 minutes. Use a very sharp knife to slice. (I also run my knife under hot water). Enjoy!!
