Tasty Eggnog Recipes
I always get excited when I am at the grocery store and I notice Eggnog for sale. I know that this means the Holidays are upon us and the taste of Eggnog is one to remember. Do you ever wonder why Eggnog is only sold around Christmas…I do. I did some reading online and found that Eggnog seems to be a winter beverage and only a few select stores will carry it year round. The most popular times of year to drink Eggnog of course are Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.
Eggnog is made of: milk (or cream) , sugar, nutmeg, and eggs. traditional modern Eggnog does not contain raw eggs. Many people like to make mixed drinks using alcohol and Eggnog. My husband prefers his eggnog with a splash of milk. I prefer my Eggnog thick and creamy right out of the jug.
With the Holidays upon us I figured I would share some yummy Eggnog recipes I found while doing some research online. Enjoy!

backyard. We have a wood stove in our home which we have used for the past 2 winters and it has saved us hundreds of dollars. We would keep a fire going all day and turn the heat down during the day and turn the heat up at night. Doing this really did save us from buying hundreds of gallons of oil and is a great idea for anyone who has the time. My husband would chop wood when he had time and stack it on the deck so it was near the door. We got our wood for free by going to family land and cutting down tree’s that were dead and in need of cutting. Ask some of your friends and family if they have any dead trees they need to get rid of in their backyard, you may be surprised at how much wood you can get for little work and for free. Even if you have to buy wood, it will still cost less money than buying oil or gas all winter.
