  1. Sounds yummy. I am the only one at home that likes egg nog so I make mine by the cup. I have always struggled with my cholesterol, even back in high school when I was a vegetarian, on the track team, soccer team, and competed in martial arts, and did cardio videos on my own time. Well that's genetics for you, makes no sense. So I always cook with egg substitute. I make my eggnog with it too, with truvia, rum extract, and the unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk, and pumpkin pie spice. I serve mine hot too, because in winter here I don't want it cold.
    Your blog is beautiful, keep up the good work.

  2. I should correct, I use cholesterol free egg product not egg substitute or whites only, which I don't like as much.
