Homemade Eggnog

Cheers and Merry Christmas! I wish you all a very happy holiday season.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry.

We’re eating pheasant pot pie for our Christmas dinner and drinking egg nog to pass the day.

We’ll also be out shoveling snow, as it came down pretty heavy last night, but I don’t mind. I’m always ‘dreaming of a White Christmas’ and this year we definitely got it!

Here’s my favorite egg nog recipe to help you with the drinking!
