When I plan out my meals, I have a category for each day - Tuesdays are for tacos, but to me that really means any Mexican dish. Last night, I made fajitas, and I must share this recipe with you because it is, by far, the greatest fajita recipe in all the land. Seriously. I have made it about a million times and it has never let me down. It is also super easy, since basically all you have to do it throw everything in a blender, marinate the meat with the blender contents, and grill it off.
Here it is, it is from
Tyler Florence (the fact that he is super cute has nothing to do with my love of this recipe).
If you look at the ratings, you will see that I am not the only one who thinks this recipe is to die for.
The recipe works for chicken as well as beef, and the only thing you have left to do is chop up some onions and peppers to saute (I only do onions because nothing makes me gag quite like a green pepper does), put some cheese in a bowl, and warm up some tortillas. Seriously, this marinade is the best thing ever.
The other thing I made was a dessert. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so I rarely make desserts. My husband, however, has a huge sweet tooth. Therefore, I have been working on making some sweet treats for him. Over the weekend I was watching a
Pioneer Woman episode on the Food Network, and she made an incredibly simple ice cream pie. Now that I am living in Texas and have easy access to Blue Bell ice cream, I knew that I had to make it.
Here is the recipe for it. It is so easy, you can make it in advance, and the caramel sauce that goes along with it is now my go to caramel sauce.
So there you have it! An easy weeknight meal complete with dessert. I must admit, I am feeling quite proud of myself.
