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.

Chocolate Croissant Breakfast Bake

Chocolate Croissant Breakfast Bake makes a sweet, rich, and filling breakfast for Christmas or New Years.  You can also make it the night before and then bake it the next morning.  The recipe reminded me of a French toast bake but with croissants, cream cheese and chocolate.  You use already made croissants, or you can use the canned crescent rolls.  Just make sure you bake them first and then cut them into pieces.  The recipe calls for two cups of chocolate chips, but I found the whole thing to be overly sweet, especially for breakfast, so maybe one cup would be better.  A slice in the afternoon with some coffee, while finishing some last minute holiday prep, was just the thing.  It makes a big pan, a 13x9 size, so unless you have a large crowd for brunch, then you can freeze some for later.  I really enjoyed the flavors of the bread, chocolate, and cream cheese.  I reminded me of a mix between cheesecake, French toast, and bread pudding.  Perfect for the holidays when you want a warm, indulgent breakfast.
