Eggnog


I am so addicted to Eggnog this year! (I am talking about regular Cream O' Weber Eggnog, not spiked Eggnog.) Although, I probably need to go to Eggnogaholics Anonymous. Anyway, I never have the stuff before in my life. In fact, I use to hate it. Then last year, I sort of started liking it and I just drank it a little, but this year! I am drinking it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I stocked my fridge up with it. Tayler asked me if it was on a good sale the other day because I bought so much of it. Anyway, it has a lot of carbohydrates which is not that great for my blood sugar, I am sure. So, I am going to break the habit... so if you see me drinking Eggnog tell me to stop. I haven't been drinking in public a lot, so most of you, even my closest family and friends, probably don't even know I have a problem. I am more of a closet drinker! J/K!

The good thing is it has 5g of protein per serving which makes it a good source of protein. It is also a good supply of calcium. The main ingredient is milk, so here are some cow facts.


There are more than 160 million dairy cows in the world. More than nine million live in the US and two million in Canada.

Cows are not indigenous to America. Columbus brought them on his second voyage. It became a law that each ship had to have one cow for every five people.

You can find more of these facts on the Cream O' Weber web page.

I've always loved egg nog, but I have to mix it half and half with milk. My mom accidently drank spiked egg nog at a work party when she was pregnant with me. Explains a lot, huh . . . .

Jamie, I too love egg nog! Matt hates it when I buy it cause he doesn't like it! Try putting a little sprite or 7-up with it.
Once I bought like a half gallon of it. My sister called me and told me that you have to walk like 4 miles to work off a 1/2 cup (something like that) and so I poured the whole thing down the sink!I still buy it though!:)
If you are drinking too much, you better get some help! I am worried about ya! j/k

OK....the cow facts have me worried...it is truly showing your science geekiness!! Personally I don't think I would ever try the stuff....it looks thick and gross! I will try and help remind you to not have such a disgusting habit!

Glad you like the stuff, I still don't. Maybe one year, we'll see.

OK - just tried a new mix. 1 cup egg nog, 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup cranberry juice. These are estimates - just stir well. You will love it!
