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.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars

My family loves them and its hard to keep them from eating several at a time. And of course, you know that the pumpkin puree is actually healthy? So its sort of okay that we've almost eaten all of them in a couple of days.  

I found the recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars here, at Momendevours.com.
