Lucious Low-Carb Eggnog

My husband, Barry, was once a milkman in Southern California. He delivered to many Orange County cities, including the Newport Coast, where he got to watch the world wake up. He also represented one of the finest dairies around: Alta Dena Dairy. 

Barry is a confessed eggnog hog and Alta Dena Honey Sweetened Eggnog is amazing! After New Year's Day, Barry was already looking forward to the following fall. He introduced this eggnog to our 3 children and me. We were all gaga for it!

Before embracing a low-carb lifestyle, I cut back on eggnog due to the enormous calories. Just one cup of Alta Dena Honey Sweetened Eggnog is equal to 980 calories and 38 carbohydrates! I would add a smidgen to coffee until I stopped drinking it altogether.

So, it was time to adopt a healthier nog. Especially since sugar is no longer in my life, I find this recipe quite pleasing.
