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...

St. Paddy's Eats and Drinks

 St. Patrick's Day is this week, on Sunday. Whether you love to wear green or not on this Irish holiday, there are some fun things to eat and drink! Here are three things I drank and ate this March to celebrate St. Paddy's! 

I'm not a Guinness Fan, but I do like a noteworthy drink flight! At Paseo in Seattle's SODO, we found a St. Paddy's Day one. This flight has four themed cocktails, each one cuter than the next. They weren't labeled, so we had to try each one and guess what was in them. One was a creamy White Russian and was topped with Lucky Charms Marshmallows. The Green drink we believe had Midori Melon Liquor and came with a Green Clover sucker. The next drink in our flight was a Pina Colada and it was garnished with a Rainbow Sour Belt candy. Finally, the last cocktail in the flight was a Margarita and was garnished with a dried orange slice and a tiny clover. This is such a unique and cute cocktail flight for St. Patrick's Day! 




I enjoy baking desserts for holiday! This year for St. Patrick's Day, I made Baileys Brownies. They turned out so rich, decedent, and they even tasted like Baileys, the Irish Whiskey. I found the recipe for the brownies from Delish.com. The Baileys is in the chocolate frosting, and I spread my frosting quite thick on the brownies. I kept mine in the refrigerator and that was a great move.  




The last item I tried for St. Patrick's Day is some Lucky Charms cookies I baked. These bake and break cookies are from Pillsbury. I baked mine like cookie cups in a tart pan and added ice cream and green sprinkles! I was fun to get a little more creative with this kind of store-bought cookies!
