12-13-2016 - Donuts & Eggnog

Eggnog is just eggs, milk, salt and vanilla cooked together. Adults have liquor fortified eggnog at parties. I am allergic to eggs/dairy and eggnog is a good way to raise calcium levels. Dairy lacks sugar/carb elevators. I love it.
 
JS there are recipes with sugar but my grandma's recipe is strapless. If you use real vanilla - not extract- our family loves it regardless. It is because my calcium deficiency is so very low that I am ordered to eat eggs and drink milk. Everything is a trade off in the diabetic diet. At most I indulge once or twice a month. It's like fruit: raises blood glucose but totally eliminating it gives way to some serious health issues. I do my best daily to achieve a healthy balance.
