Holiday Eggnog Bread
This is Christmas in a bread.
Delicate. Light. Great eggnog flavor with an aroma fills the house as it’s baking. Simply splendid.
My boss makes this bread at Christmas time and I look forward to it every year. I think since you can only get eggnog during the holidays it makes it that much more special.
I’m picturing you eating a toasted piece of this eggnog bread, covered in butter, sitting in front of your Christmas tree drinking hot cocoa and watching Love Actually. Also known as how I enjoyed this eggnog bread on Sunday night.
Around the close of the year I reflect back on all the great accomplishments & memories from the past 12 months. 2013 has been great. Skiing in Lake Tahoe. Planting my first garden. Our 1 year anniversary trip to Seattle. My sister & Ken getting married! Shawn & I starting our film business! So much to be grateful for. But my proudest by far is starting this lovely little food blog of mine. It has been such a wonderful adventure in cooking, photography, writing, and best of all making new friends.
