Why

At first, the title of this blog seemingly suggests a combination of two of life's indulgences; however...

This blog's primary focus is eggnog--the thick, savory, seasonal beverage, from which, fellow lovers gain substantial poundage from its consumption. Ah, only a mere sacrifice to indulge in its richness. The purpose of this blog is to reveal the good nog, the better nog, and the best nog; and, yes, unfortunately, the not-so-good nog.

Secondly, we'll share any cheesey experiences that have left us craving more or have made us move on to the next tasty find.

Endless Possibilites


Treat yourself to some delicious, moist muffins laced with eggnog. I had about a cup left of nog, and wondered what I could bake with it. A simple Google search revealed a number of recipes, and muffins seemed easy enough.

In review of the recipe, which will follow, I thought the muffins were excellent. However, I realized that some sprinkled sugar and cinnamon would have been a great finishing touch.

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 tblsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Eggnog
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1/3 cup Butter (melted)
  • 1 Egg (beaten)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
Preheat oven 400*F
Combine dry ingredients
Combine wet ingredients
Mix together
Pour batter in lined or greased muffin cups
Bake for 12-15 minutes
Makes 12 muffins

Great idea. We need to get to the store and pick up some more nog anyway.
I will say that the Christmas parties we attended this year were entirely void of nog- a travesty, I know.
At one party, there was some jalapeno cheese and even a Wasabi cheese. I prefer the jalapeno.

They were yummy, but like you said my recipe was so much better. Love you muchoa and wish you would post a little more. Your blog is too cute and if you ever get time our title does not fit anymore with the new white blog background.
