The Chocolate Milk Test {Recipe: Chocolate Silk Pancakes}
I once traveled across the great state of Minnesota, searching for the best diners in the state. I was in my early 20′s, young and carefree and on a mission. I don’t know remember what prompted the search, but it was a fun road tripping adventure that I likely will never forget. My friend and [...]
