Good morning, my friends!
I am feeling quite rested today because Ryan and I opted to sleep in. I had to work late and didn’t get home until close to 10 p.m. It’s always hard for me to unwind and fall right asleep when I get home from work at night, so Ryan and I hung out for a bit and changed the alarm to 6:45 a.m. instead of 5 a.m.
That extra sleep time made a big difference!
It also meant I missed my morning workout, but I’m planning to sneak one in late this morning before work again. I haven’t taken my favorite boot camp class in a while, so I’m thinking that may have to happen!
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was quite festive.
As much as I love eggnog, I have a hard time drinking more than a small glass of it. I really enjoy the flavor, but too much of it makes me feel a little sick, so I prefer incorporating it into other dishes during the holiday season rather than guzzling it on its own.
If you’re the same way, here are a few eggnog dishes that I bookmarked to make at some point this year:
- Cinnamon Eggnog Rolls <— Oh my gosh, these look amazing. I think they may have to happen on Christmas morning!
- Eggnog Snickerdoodles
- Eggnog Breakfast Crumble Crunch Cake
- Peppermint Eggnog Milkshake
Yum!

I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever actually had a glass of egg nog. I know I’ve had a lot of egg nog flavored things, and love them…but dont know about the real stuff!
I want to make that peppermint eggnog shake! I like all the ways your incorporating the seasonal flavors into your food!
hateeeee! on it’s own anyway. i think i’d like it in things though, going to give it a try!
I love eggnog, and how it’s texture is really thick and it kind of sticks to the back of your throat…lol I think that comment just warranted a “that’s what she said.” oops 😉
I haven’t had eggnog in so long!!! We totally missed it last year! This year it’s a MUST!
I wonder how this would turn out with a coconut milk variety of eggnog (like this one: http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/products/coconut-milk-beverages/nog). I do my best to stay away from dairy, so maybe I’ll have to give it a go. This recipe looks delicous!
I haven’t had eggnog in so long! I love the idea of putting it in your overnight oats.
Ive actually never had straight eggnogg just nogg flavored things
Love it!!! My Sister-in-law and I made these eggnog scones last year, they were delightful!

I have to admit that I love eggnog, a lot. Even though it kind of upsets my stomach. So I try to limit it to small glasses with a lot of ice cubes to make it look like a bigger glass than it actually is…and maybe with a little splash of rhum and sprinkle of nutmeg if I’m feeling really festive 😉
I agree about egg nog–it is okay in stuff, but I don’t love it alone!
Have fun with your workout/bootcamp class 🙂
Hmmm never actually DRANK eggnog before, but I’ve tried eggnog creamer before! It was pretty yummy and I bet that stuff would be awesome in baked goods. Oyyyy now I’m hungry for something sweet!
I love eggnog, but only in small doses like you mentioned. One of your posts inspired me to buy some to splash into my coffee – that sounds delicious! I bet it’ll be even better if frothed up into foam first and sprinkled with a little nutmeg. Yum!
I love egg nog, but I only drink my mom’s homemade straight up – I use the store-boutgh kind in baked goods, etc.
I actually added some to my oats this morning! 🙂
not a fan of eggnog 🙁
I’m not a huge eggnog fan but peppermint hot chocolate??! I’m on it!!
I loved the regular eggnog for so long when I was little, but started to experience lactose intolerance during my teens, so I stopped. I had tried the Silk nog before, but it wasn’t the same. BUT! This year, SoDelicious came out with a coconut milk nog, and it is amazing! Has almost the same exact taste and thickness – you just get a little coconut aftertaste!
