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. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice.

Apple Crisp

Too many apples in the fridge?  Make some Apple Crisp!  I bought some apples at the store thinking I'd eat them every night for dessert instead of ice cream.  That didn't happen so I made Apple Crisp.  I can always buy more apples in a couple days and try it again.  When life gives you apples, make a crisp with them.  This recipe I found was super easy and oh, mama, it tasted good.  Diets be damned because you don't want to miss hot apple crisp out of the oven with some whipped cream on top.  I may or may not have put a little caramel sauce on top, too.  But really it was just for the photo, I swear.


Apple Crisp


Recipe adapted from hellohue.com


1 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup of butter
2-3 big apples 
ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Peel your apples, and cut them into the bite size pieces. Layer them in a buttered casserole dish.   Sprinkle with cinnamon and make sure its mixed well with the apples.  In a separate bowl combine flour, brown sugar, a little more cinnamon and butter.  Cut in butter with a pastry tool, I used a spoon, until its well mixed.   Pour mixture over apples and bake for 35 minutes.  Enjoy while still warm, that's the best!  Crisp will be very hot, so let it sit for a while before digging in.  Enjoy!
