December marks National Egg Nog month! I love egg nog, but I know a lot of people either hate it or love. There area million different brands of egg nog out there and they even sell soy egg nog now! Store bought egg nog is always good, but have you ever tried home made egg nog? I have an awesome co-worker who invites me over every year to his holiday party where he serves up lots of good food and his awesome homemade egg nog.
He uses this Martha Stewart recipe and it always comes out nice and fluffy and is full of delicious egg nog-gy flavor!

Egg Nog is very delicious, its just great for the holidays, thanks for sharing the recipe, It is something that your are entice about during christmas, we love egg nog.
I recently tried the egg nog latte for the very first time from Starbucks and I thought it was kind of bland, nothing too special.
I love eggnog and make sure I get my fill of it over the holidays. I can a container in the fridge just waiting for the rum. Hello to this coming weekend!
I love me some eggnog! Glad you love it too! Especially when it's nice and creamy...yum!
