I modified a recipe from the Hungry Girl website for a low sugar eggnog and found it very acceptable. It has nearly the same taste and mouth feel as the lite eggnog I've been drinking. It may be a bit late for this year's holiday season, but there's still New Year's.
The original recipe is here. My version is below.
6 C 1% milk 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 1 small (4-serving) package Jell-O Sugar Free Fat Free Instant Pudding mix, Vanilla 6 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda) 1 tsp Mace (or nutmeg) (optional) 6 oz dark rum or 1 tsp rum extract (READ MORE)

I love eggnog. Just adore it, and the fact that it's only available 6 weeks a year only adds to its allure.
The full fat full sugar, richest, yummiest version has about 60 calories an ounce. That's without the rum or the bourbon.
Even the "light" version has 26 grams of carbs in 4 ounces, 25 of them from sugars. As usual the light refers to low fat, not low carb.
I've looked around for a healthier recipe. There are a lot out there. Let me eliminate about 60% of the recipes by saying I don't want soy milk in mine. I know, I know, soy milk is so yummy and healthy and yada, yada, yada, but I just don't like it.
I saw a couple recipes that use sugar free vanilla pudding in lieu of eggs and cream to thicken. I'm going to try that one. (READ MORE)

Susanne was in the living room on the couch late one night when she heard what she thought was a light tap-tap-tap of one of our kids running down the wood stairs. She then heard a child's voice that whispered "mom" or "momma."
"Who's awake?" Susanne called upstairs. It was about 11 pm and I was in Charlie's room, testing his blood sugar.
"Huh? What do you mean? They're all asleep," I said, poking my head downstairs.
She sat wide awake and erect on the couch and looked at me very seriously.
"I think we have a ghost."
But wait, there's more. (READ MORE)

It's that time of year again -- time to report on this year's results of the WebWarren Cookie Laboratories.
Lest you think I've had a bit too much of the nonexistent "adult" eggnog (or given the outdoor temperatures, the nonexistent hot toddy), The Other Half's parents like to have several varieties of cookies on hand for Christmas Day visitors (i.e., the entire extended family) -- and with his mother no longer able to do the sort of baking she once did, we try to take up a bit of the slack. The first time we did cookie baking up here, I was trying to develop some new cookie recipes, and we brought down the results in a carton repurposed with Christmas wrapping paper and labeled "WEBWARREN COOKIE LABS -- EXPERIMENTAL SAMPLES". The name -- and the mock pretentiousness -- stuck. While were not able to get down south this year, the Cookie Labs have been in full force.
