Thanks for hosting and stopping by. Whoo a bit busy at the minute but will think about it.
A friend made homemade eggnog for us once. So much better than the store bought stuff – this looks like a fairly easy recipe to follow too! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party! Hope your holidays are wonderful!
My family loves eggnog, but we usually buy it at the store. When I was in high school, that was the special treat that I always made for my dad and me. I should make it again!
