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.

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)
