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.

Homemade Toffee Doodle Cookies

These Toffee Doodles are cookie magic.

Our love for Snicker Doodles runs strong and my boys and I loved the Toffee Doodles from Starbucks. Sadly they no longer have them, so what's a person to do? Make your own, of course! I found a recipe from here and got to work baking in the kitchen.

That may be a disaster for your waistline.

 I always enjoyed the classic Snicker Doodle, but the toffee bits make it even more sweeter and satisfying.
