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.

Mother's Day 2021

 

The delicious Mamacchiato Cheesecake from 85 Degrees Bakery. 

This Mother's Day was full of tasty eats. We ordered a cake from 85 Degrees in Tukwila. It was a cheesecake with a layer of mocha cheesecake. It was light and fluffy, yet rich and decadent at the same time. The cake was so pretty and my family loved it. We had brunch at home. I made my mom's banana bread and her coffee cake recipe.

I hope your day was special-filled with love and yummy treats.
