EGGNOG
4 egg yolks
1/3 c. sugar plus 1 tbls.
1 pint whole milk
1 c. heavy cream
1 tsp. nutmeg
4 egg whites
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the 1/3 c. sugar and continue to beat until it is completely dissolved. Add the milk, cream, and nutmeg and stir to combine.
Place the egg whites in a bowl and beat to soft peaks. With the mixer still running gradually add the 1 tbls. of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Whisk the egg whites into the mixture. Chill and serve.
I have no idea what beating until soft and stiff peaks form, so if you do let me know. We just beat them for a while!!!! Mike says the stuff tastes way better than store bought, and we even just used 2% milk and it turned out great! The recepie calls for bourbon too, so if your holidays call for a little jingle in your drink you could add that too!!!!!!

Thanks for the recipe. I am going to have to try it for Braden. He loves that stuff and I hate it... too. About the stiff peaks, it is just like it says keep beating(sometimes it takes awhile) and if you put your finger in it and pull it out and a little peak forms, you've done it:)
What a cute couple you two are. I always have known Mike was a great guy, he was a great friend in Highschool. A little onery sometimes though!(ha,ha) But, it sounds like he hit the lottery with you!! You seem like you guys balance each other out well. Hope things are going good with your pregnancy.
Oh ya, Braden bought me those M&M's a couple months ago...I agree, they are the best ever. Tell Mike we said "HI"
Hi Leslie! I've been checking out your blog too! :) I keep meaning to leave a comment, but never did. Anyway, your family is beautiful. Your kids are so cute. It was good hearing from you!
I'm going to add you to my friend list...hope you don't mind. :)
