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 using a two-ingredient dough

 

Fresh, homemade Cinnamon Rolls for a yummy weekend breakfast or brunch! The best part? The dough is super easy to make. Just use Greek Yogurt and Self-rising flour! 

My sons and I are big Cinnamon Roll fans. It's our fav breakfast for holidays and weekends. When I saw a simple recipe online using only two ingredients for the dough, I couldn't wait to try making them. They do take a little bit of time compared to the ones in the can, but it's well worth it! These also seem healthier than other Cinnamon Rolls since you use just yogurt and flour for the dough. They were fun to make, and I loved the way they turned out. One son rated them 50 out of 10 and the other son gave them 8 out of 10. I can work with that! 

I may just make them every weekend! I just have to make sure I always have Greek Yogurt on hand. Easy, peasy! 

I used the recipe from Today.com and adapted it. The only thing missing from their recipe was noting to roll out the dough on a floured surface. This makes a big difference, and the dough will be easier to handle and way less sticky. 

Cinnamon Rolls with 2-Ingredient Dough

Ingredients:

3\4 cup non-fat greek yogurt

1 cup self-rising flour 

Filling:

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 Teaspoon cinnamon

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

Glaze:

5 Tablespoons powdered sugar

4 Tablespoons milk, any kind 

Preperation:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a round 9 inch baking pan and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together greek yogurt and flour to form a ball of dough. On a floured surface, roll out dough by hand or with a rolling pin until you have a large rectangle shape. Set aside. 

For the Filling:

In a small bowl, stir together butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling and spread over dough evenly. Roll it up tightly so it doesn't break, then cut off the ends. Score the dough and cut it into 6 or 7 equal sections. Place the rolls cinnamon side up in the greased baking dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown. I baked mine for 14 minutes. 

For the Glaze: 

Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk into a glaze and drizzle over the rolls. I waited about 5 minutes so the glaze wouldn't immediately melt. Then enjoy nice and warm with some coffee or maybe a Mimosa for brunch! Enjoy!
