cooking recipes


It's that time of year for holiday celebrations with neighbors, friends and family. I went to my first holiday party of the season last weekend at my girlfriends house. The hostess made her own egg nog from scratch. Now, every year I look forward to my girlfriends delicious home made eggnog. We serve it plain or with a little rum and nutmeg sprinkled on the top. Good stuff!

I have watched my girlfriend make her egg nog many times. She has been more than willing to give up one of her best cooking recipes for this holiday elixir! I believe cooking recipes that are this good are meant to be shared. So here goes:
