We Need to Talk About Eggnog

Pumpkin Eggnog Bread Recipe with Creamy Eggnog Glaze

Friends, we need to talk about eggnog. Specifically, where you are on the love / hate scale with it?

Eggnog is one of those things where each year around this time, I get incredibly tempted by the freshly stocked shelves of eggnog. Things go down exactly like this…

  1. I purchase a 1/2 gallon of eggnog
  2. As soon as I get it home, I have one small glass
  3. As soon as I finish drinking that one glass, I remember I really don’t love eggnog
  4. I spend the next week using my eggnog in recipes, because I do really like the flavor of eggnog, just not actual eggnog itself.

 

Glass-Milk-Jar-of-Eggnog

So, given the scenario above, you can hopefully understand why over the next couple of weeks you might see a few more recipes using eggnog as an ingredient than usual. I fell prey to the temptation and now need to do my penance, by creating some tempting recipes to use my annual eggnog up.

Creamy Eggnog Glaze Recipe

This Pumpkin Eggnog Bread with Creamy Eggnog Glaze is so flavorful and moist…tasty on its own, but the star of this little shindig is the glaze. Oh wow. It’s creamy and sweet and has just enough eggnog flavor to give it that special boost for the season. Tempted? You should be. Once you give this a taste you may run out and buy a jug of eggnog simply so you can have an excuse to use it up with this recipe!

Personalize a coffee mug by using a sharpie marker and baking itBefore I share the eggnog pumpkin bread recipe with you, I have to give a shout out to my friend Ali from Gimme Some Oven for giving me this sweet and thoughtful coffee mug. She found the idea on Pinterest (take a Sharpie marker, decorate your mug, and bake at 350° for 30 minutes, and voila… you have an adorable, personalized mug!) Thank you, Ali… it’s my new favorite for my #ShotOfCoffee.

Ok… now on to the recipe!

    To my Father eggnog is a sign and a holiday tradition. A small glass of eggnog with a little bourbon. Dad’s never been much of a drinker but he always brought it out to toast the holidays.

    This bread looks delicious. I imagine the flavors are wonderful.

    I’m not an eggnog fan… hubby likes it, but doesn’t adore it. My mom likes it and I can palate the way she drinks it best – she mixes about half eggnog and half milk in a glass. (of course she usually gets pumpkin spice eggnog – which I’m sure would go great in this bread!)

    I love the flavor of eggnog as well but my experience with the store bought ones has been less than desirable to say the least, although I had a cup at a party once that was the host’s secret homemade recipe and it blew me away. I wish I had that recipe now!

    I like eggnog flavor, but I find that I do the same thing you do: drink a small glass with just OHSOMUCH anticipation and then just use it for the flavor in other stuff. This bread would probably be downed in about 5 minutes flat by yours truly!

    Bleh, eggnog. Not a fan. It looks like I’m in the minority on that.

    My dad pops some rum into it, which might improve it, but you can improve a lot of things with rum and I’d rather put my rum into something else.

    This made me giggle. I am not a fan but my hubs is & the kids love it. So hubs buys it & then says he loves it until the guilt sets in. He says that he would drink it all season if it didn’t have 1,789,465 calories in each sip. 🙂 We bought some & then I used it for cooking. That recipe come later this week.

    This eggnog situation is so so true. I too feel like I would enjoy eggnog, or rather should, but I really don’t. But I am fairly sure I would like a bread or cake made with eggnog. That only makes sense. And it is so very sweet, the mug, I love it, and the thoughts with it. It is perfect for your shots of coffee to brighten the day.

    I am definitely on the don’t like eggnog camp. Probably from growing up lactose intolerant – and still not able to handle a ton of dairy now – and the thought of egg in a drink grossed me out, I just was never a fan. I also have a friend that believes eggnog needs its own season. He buys his first GALLON in September. And I think his rum to nog ratio in his glass is about 80:20, so really for him drinking egg nog is just an excuse for more rum. He loves eggnog, me not so much, however,baked goods using it always taste amazing. My mom makes a pumpkin eggnog pie that’s surprisingly good. For pie (I am also not really a pie fan but that’s another story. This bread looks really good, like everything you make. And I LOVE the mug – yeah pinterest!

H is for...high!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.

I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈

It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
