The holidays bring many traditions to our house. The first present opened is a new pair of flannel pajamas, the honey glazed ham on the dinner table, the mistletoe cookies, and the eggnog. Now don\u2019t get me wrong I like traditions but eggnog is not my favorite. What I always forget about is that I don\u2019t like the mouth feel of eggnog as I am drinking it. So what do you do when you have more drink then people wanting to drink it? Find recipes to use eggnog in.<\/p>\n

I have been fortunate to collect recipes from family and friends to use the eggnog in baking. My son\u2019s favorite is Nog cookies; he likes the flavor and texture. They are a nice moist cookie that freezes well. My favorite is eggnog pie. It is a custard type pie that bakes up nice and brown, and has a smooth mouth feel. Also, it is a pie that is not overly sweet. For food safety purposes it must be refrigerated after it is baked.<\/p>\n

Some people prefer to make their own eggnog, as I don\u2019t know why, when commercial products are much less expensive and have already been pasteurized for safety. Obviously, I purchase eggnog that we use for drinking and baking, just be sure to check the expiration date.<\/p>\n

What do you do if you can not use up the eggnog by the expiration date? Freeze It. I like to freeze eggnog in small freezer containers, with the correct amount to recipes that I will be using it in. That way when I want to make my baked items I can take out the container, thaw it in the refrigerator, and start my recipe. Once in a while you may see some separation but that can be quickly fixed by shaking or stirring it back together.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t let that eggnog go to waste, check out these recipes or find your own and start baking some extra special treats for your family and friends.<\/p>\n
