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. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce.

Greek Yogurt Strawberry Banana Bread

I've been going overboard eating dessert again.  This is nothing new though.  A new year but not new eating habits.  But that's okay, I've been working out everyday and hopefully burning off those brownies and cheesecake slices.

I found the recipe from a website called Amazing Pinterest World.  You can click here to see how to make it.
