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.

Making Lucky Charms Treats from Delish

 With St. Patty's day being tomorrow, I wanted to make a quick and easy treat to celebrate! Everyone's made Rice Krispy treats before. But why not mix things up and use a different cereal.

There's a ton of butter and marshmallows involved, so you know you'll love them. My son is a big cereal fan.

The recipe I used is from Delish.com. I didn't make any substitutions to the recipe, so just click the link here. Have fun tomorrow if you celebrate St. Patrick's Day!
