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.

Nutella Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies for National Peanut Butter Cookie Day

Getting ready to bake in the oven!
See the Nutella swirled into the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough? Hands off though, you don't want to get sick from the raw egg.
Yeah, I think there's enough dough left for more batches!
The final product-time to test them and make sure they taste good!


The recipe for Nutella Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies is found on ericasweettooth.com and you can click here.  My house smells like fresh baked cookies and that's a wonderful thing! Happy Baking!
