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. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again.  For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to  Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

Making Cinnamon Rolls for the first time | Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

 

Yummy Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls to eat for Thanksgiving breakfast! (If they last that long!) 

Today was my first time making homemade Cinnamon Rolls. I wanted to make something yummy to enjoy for Thanksgiving breakfast and I wanted to make something with pumpkin one last time this season. I always just bake some canned Cinnamon Rolls for holiday breakfasts. They're easy and the whole family gobbles them up. But since we have all this time at home now (Covid), I thought I'd try something different for Thanksgiving this year. 

It was fun making these Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls. It was nice to get away from a screen for a bit and get my hands dirty. I had a little trouble mixing the cold butter with my flour mixture, so I got right in there and used my hands. It worked! And the cold dough felt good in between my (first washed) hands! Then I added the pumpkin puree and milk and my dough was nice and sticky, ready to roll out. 

The neat part was rolling the dough up and slicing the dough into the rolls. This was a fun project even thought it was messy. Then the rolls baked for about twenty minutes. While they were baking, I made my cream cheese icing. Finally, after the rolls were out of the oven and cooled off for a bit, I frosted the top of each one. 

These rolls were quite dense from the pumpkin puree and not overly sweet. I really liked the cinnamon on them and the cream cheese icing on top! These will be perfect for breakfast, especially with some coffee! 

The recipe I used is from sweetandsavoryfood.com. You can go here to see the recipe I used! 

Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving! 

The rolls are ready to go into the oven! 

Just out of the oven and getting ready for frosting!
