Easy EggNog


There is a nip in the air (okay, a full on blizzard in some areas), and Winter is just around the corner. Time to bring out the Eggnog! There's no need to pay those high prices at the grocery store, though. With just a few basic ingredients you can whip up a batch of your own in a matter of minutes! It is so simple to make! You'll be ready to bring on the season with your very own homemade eggnog. 

I like this recipe for several reasons. Firstly, you use whole eggs. There's no need to separate the yolks out. It's just that much easier. Secondly, this recipe is cooked. I've seen others out there that use raw eggs, but quite frankly, that idea makes me a bit uneasy. Lastly, this recipe can be made with, or without, alcohol. Either way it tastes divine! Truth be known, I like to drink this eggnog year round. It's just that easy & that delicious! Give it a try & let me know what you think...

  3. This recipe for scrambled eggs is simple and easy to make. It requires two eggs, salt and pepper to taste, and butter or cooking oil (optional). To make the eggs, crack and beat them in a bowl, season them with salt and pepper, and heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set. Gently stir and fold the eggs from the edges towards the center of the pan until they are mostly cooked but still slightly runny. Once the eggs reach your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat, as the residual heat will continue to cook the eggs slightly. Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnishing them with fresh herbs, cheese, or salsa if desired. Enjoy this quick breakfast or any time of the day with this delicious scrambled egg recipe.chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyers near me
