It appears I've been on a little bit of an eggnog kick lately.
Though I have a very good reason why, I honestly never drink it.
I get so excited to see anything christmassy at the grocery store every year, that I don't care what it is, no matter if I like it or not I will buy it just for the nostalgia of the holidays.....i.e. Pumpkin spice creamer, canned pumpkin puree, gingerbread tea, eggnog and even fruit cake (okay I lied about the fruit cake, I will still not eat that)
Even though I only like eggnog for the first 2 sips. I don't want to see it go to waste, so why not incorporate eggnog in all my favorite recipes.
