TRADITIONAL EGGNOG FOR THE HOLIDAY PUNCH BOWL
Thick, rich, creamy and oh-so-very-delicious! Serve this traditional eggnog in a large punch bowl for a stunning holiday presentation---and let the festivities begin! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Requires at least 2 hours chill time, and may be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Makes 12 cups. Here is some interesting eggnog history I would like to share with you (information is adapted from various internet sources): Today Eggnog is synonymous with Christmas - there's even an Eggnog Day (24th December). However, some questions beg to be asked as to where this drink originated and how it got its name. History of Eggnog: Also known as an Egg Flip, the predecessor of today's eggnog is believed to have started life in England as early as the 8th Century. Originally a concoction made of milk mixed with alcohol, frequently beer and perhaps some spices, it was known as a posset and was initially taken for medicinal purposes but certainly by the 1550s, they had become a more fashionable drink amongst the upper classes with posset sets being a popular gift. It's possible that other parts of Europe were drinking possets too as Mary 1 of England was given a posset set from the Spanish Ambassador, though it's possible he just bought it when he arrived in England. By the 17th century, these milk "punches" had been transformed into celebratory beverages, often used to toast the health of friends and family albeit still mainly enjoyed by the more wealthy. One reason given for its popularity was the fact that there was no refrigeration so milk couldn't be kept for too long. By this time, alcohols such as Madeira, sherry and Brandy had replaced the original beer mixer, and eggs had been added, making an altogether more smooth rich drink. The drink crossed the Atlantic to the English colonies during the 18th century, and soon became a popular wintertime drink throughout Colonial America. Although dairy produce was plentiful, imported items such as wine and brandy were being heavily taxed (and thus very expensive), and so they started using rum from Carribean trading which was much more affordable. When the supply of rum to the newly-founded United States was reduced as a consequence of the American Revolutionary War, Americans turned to indigenous whiskey�and eventually bourbon in particular�as a substitute. Eggnog, in the 1800s was nearly always made in large quantities and nearly always used as a social drink. It was commonly served at holiday parties and it was noted by an English visitor in 1866, "Christmas is not properly observed unless you brew egg nogg for all comers; everybody calls on everybody else; and each call is celebrated by a solemn egg-nogging...It is made cold and is drunk cold and is to be commended." Of course, Christmas was not the only day upon which eggnog was popular. In Baltimore it was a tradition for young men to call upon all of their friends on New years day. At each of many homes the strapping fellows were offered a cup of eggnog, and so as they went they became more and more inebriated. It was quite a feat to actually finish one's rounds. Our first President, George Washington, was quite a fan of eggnog and devised his own recipe that included rye whiskey, rum and sherry. It was reputed to be a stiff drink that only the most courageous were willing to try. How Eggnog (often spelled egg nog) got its name: Although eggnog is often defined as �eggs inside a small cup", no-one knows for sure how the drink got its name. The "egg" bit is simple enough but the "nog" bit is a little more challenging. Taking its origins into account, here are three possibilities: 1) Nog was a 17th century English name for a strong beer. 2) Noggin was an old English name for a small, wooden, carved mug used to serve drinks at table in taverns (while drinks beside the fire were served in tankards). 3) Grog was the name 18th century sailors gave to a dilution of rum and water served aboard British Naval vessels to prevent drunkenness. It's probably a mixture of all three. Today forms of eggnog are also made in many other countries including Germany (Eierlikör), Spain (ponche), Holland (advocaat), Puerto Rico (coquito) and Mexico (Rompope). Modern eggnog typically consists of milk, sugar, nutmeg, and eggs. Frequently cream is substituted for some portion of the milk to make a much richer drink. Some eggnogs add gelatin. Toppings may include vanilla ice cream, meringue, or whipped cream. Today, whiskey, rum, brandy or cognac are often added. As you can see, eggnog is still a popular drink during the holidays, and its social character remains. It is hard to imagine a Christmas without a cup of the "nog" to spice up the atmosphere and lend merriment and joy to the proceedings.

15 HEALTHY HOLIDAY FOOD SWAPS - EAT THIS NOT THAT
From eatthis.com
Author Paige BennettPublished 2020-12-01Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
- Shepard's Pie Instead of Pot Pie. Pot pies are a popular way to use up holiday dinner leftovers or to enjoy one simple entrée for smaller dinners. But this dish can be high in fat and sodium.
- Roasted Sweet Potatoes Instead of Sweet Potato Casserole. Sweet potato casserole is loaded with added sugars, from the brown sugar the potatoes are tossed in all the way to the coating of either candied pecans or toasted marshmallows.
- Fresh Green Beans Instead of Green Bean Casserole. Green bean casserole isn't for everyone, so if your family doesn't love this dish, it's easy to swap it for fresh green beans.
- Half Mashed Cauliflower/Half Mashed Potatoes. No one wants to give up mashed potatoes for the holidays, but you can add a nutritious punch by swapping out some of this beloved starchy vegetable for some cauliflower.
- Almond or Soy Eggnog Alternatives. If you love eggnog, there's no reason to deprive yourself of this tasty treat during the holidays. But instead of drinking the traditional version, try a non-dairy alternative.
- Baked Sufganiyot. Who can resist sufganiyot? These pillowy, jelly-filled donuts are enough to make your mouth water just thinking of them. But if you are focusing on your health this holiday season, a deep-fried dessert is probably not on the menu.
- Oil, Sugar, and Flour Swaps for Baked Goods. 'Tis the season for baked goods, but days on end of consuming so much sugar will surely leave you feeling unbalanced.
- Baked Vegetable Latkes With Greek Yogurt. It's just not Hanukkah without the latkes. While fried potato pancakes aren't exactly the poster child for health, they can still be just as delicious and more nutritious with a few simple changes.
- Choose Red Wine for Sipping. Many people are found with a drink in hand as part of the holiday celebrations. If you want to completely nix the alcohol, try a sparkling water mocktail or kombucha; otherwise, opt for red wine.
- Baked Apples Over Apple Pie. Apple pie is a fixture at the dessert table, but you can reduce some of the calories, fats, and carbs associated with this dessert and still savor that sweet, warm apple-cinnamon flavor.

10 HEALTHIEST HOLIDAY FOODS, ACCORDING ... - EAT THIS NOT THAT
From eatthis.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Apple Pie. What good could come of dessert? Plenty, when it involves fruit. Apples pack fiber that promotes fullness and regularity, and they're about 25% water to keep you hydrated.
- Blintzes. When you bite into a blintz, you're probably not thinking about its' healthy ingredients. The eggs used to make the thin pancakes and the ricotta cheese in the filling are brimming with nutrients.
- Beef Brisket. Tender beef brisket on a bed of roasted root vegetables often appears on the Hanukkah table. And that's a good thing! The protein and fiber in beef produce are a dynamic duo that blunts your appetite and reduces the chances of stuffing yourself.
- Cheese. Holiday celebrations nearly always involve cheese, which is known for its high calcium content. One and a half ounces of hard cheese, such as cheddar, Havarti, or Gouda, supplies as much calcium as eight ounces of milk, plus 10% of the riboflavin and 14% of the phosphorous you need in a day.
- Cranberries. These tart berries get their bright holiday hue from anthocyanins, which also play a role in eyesight, and reduce the risk for cancer and heart disease.
- Dark chocolate. Chocolate is one of those feel-good foods that can be good for you, too. Not all chocolate is created equal, however. The darker the chocolate, the greater the benefits, which includes reducing blood cholesterol levels and lowering blood pressure.
- Eggnog. Nothing says the holiday season quite like eggnog. It's sweet, thick, and indulgent, and can be surprisingly good for you, as holiday foods go. Packaged dairy eggnog supplies as much protein, calcium, and vitamin A as milk, although with a lot more calories, so you'll want to keep that in mind!
- Pistachios. Pistachios are little nuggets of plant protein, heart-healthy fat, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that protect your cells. As an added plus, pistachios in the shell may provide a solution to mindless munching.
- Potato Latkes. Potatoes, eggs, salt, oil. What's not to love? Even the sour cream garnish for latkes has something to offer. You may shy away from foods such as latkes because they are starchy and fried, but that's not really necessary.
- Pumpkin. Pumpkin is polarizing, there's no getting around that. Whether you love it or hate it, you have to respect its nutritional profile. Pumpkin packs potassium, fiber, and carotenoids, compounds that contribute to pumpkin's orange glow, while doing battle with free radicals, dangerous forms of oxygen that can damage cells, and serving as the raw materials for the body's production of vitamin A. It's also an excellent source of vitamin K, involved in blood clotting and bone health, and provides vitamin E, which is typically found in foods with much more fat and calories.

- Non-alcoholic eggnog (343 calories, 19 g fat per cup) - It's creamy and delicious, but it's not worth gulping down your calories and fat with your eggnog.
- Peppermint white chocolate mocha with whipped cream (410 calories, 15 g of fat per 12 ounce beverage) - Seasonal drinks can be very tempting. But without paying attention, your delicious holiday beverage can be equivalent to the calories in a meal with a significant amount of saturated fat from milk and cream.
- White Russian (412 calories, 17 g fat per 6 ounce serving) - If you'd like to pay homage to The Dude from The Big Lebowski, but don't want to actually emulate his bowl-full-of-jelly belly, whip up your own "Light" Russian by subbing fat-free milk or half-and-half and save on artery-clogging saturated fat.
- Hot chocolate made with whole milk and topped with whipped cream (240 calories, 14 g fat per 8 ounce serving) - Instead of yummy hot chocolate, you can have ...
- Chai latte made with whole milk (240 calories, 3.5 g fat per 12 ounce serving) - A little spice is certainly nice at this time of year, but you can save your calorie consumption for a sugar cookie by ordering or making your own cup of tea with a chai tea bag and adding a splash of 2 percent milk.
- Coffee with Kahlua topped with whipped cream (175 calories, 11.5 g fat per 8 ounce serving) - Such a luxurious way to end a meal! But an equally warm and cozy drink is a hot toddy -- mix hot water, a shot of brandy and squeeze of lemon in a cup; enjoy!
