Homemade Eggnog
The classic Holiday drink staple will always be Eggnog. But in our family, we go through eggnog like you wouldn’t believe and it can get pricy sometimes. So, to make sure I don’t have any holiday Grinches in my household, I have turned to making Homemade Eggnog, and I don’t think I will ever go back to store bought again.

Nutrition
I had so many requests last year for this Homemade Eggnog I was making at least 3-4 batches a week. Just for my husband to take to work with him. Next thing I know he’d be coming back with the empty jars and more requests.
Not to pat myself on the back but this was probably one of my favorite drinks now. And growing up I did not like eggnog at all. But sometimes it’s like they say, Homemade is always better!
