A Last-minute Holiday Recipe…
Eggnog Bread…Love this recipe. If you have a bread machine, this is so quick to make up and we look forward to it all year. Wish you could buy eggnog off-season! and so…I’m busy with all my Christmas preparations right now. It’s always such a crazy time of year. You may be like me and busy in the kitchen or looking for something new to try. I just put this recipe in the bread machine and thought I’d pop in and share it here with you. Enjoy! If you’re looking for some more fun holiday recipes…I shared some of my favorite holiday baking recipes here last year.

I’m going to pull out the bread machine right now - but I’m not going to tell DD#2 that it’s eggnog bread (she won’t touch the stuff) I’ll see if I can get her to try this!
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Julia: Canned eggnog is available year round from Smuckers Online Store.
