Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
It's safe to say nut milks are the newest food trend. As far as I know, when I was younger there was only soy milk and my generation rarely drank that. Growing up, I always had a glass of skim milk with dinner and sometimes even 2%. My parents joked when I was a baby that they needed a cow out in the backyard to keep up with my rapid intake of milk.

This recipe is all about chocolate and sugar. Two things I've been craving lately after dinner the past week. Can ya blame a girl?
