Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry.

Cranberry Orange Bread for Thanksgiving Breakfast

This year for Thanksgiving I wanted to make some cranberry recipes. I'd never really cooked with fresh cranberries before, and I wanted to give it a go. I made some Cranberry Orange Bread to have for breakfast on Thanksgiving. I also made Cranberry Sauce to have with turkey on Thanksgiving. My sauce turned out great and I added a dash of cinnamon to take it up a notch. 

I liked the way my bread turned out. Full of juicy cranberry pieces and a nice hint of orange for the juice and orange zest. This quick bread is soft, buttery, and festive. Perfect for a holiday breakfast! 

I used a recipe from Allrecipes, which you can find here

Have a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!
