You have probably noticed that I have been making a whole lot of Christmas themed breakfast recipes lately. I think I may be trying to over-compensate for the lack of holiday in the house this year. We really scaled back & if you never walked to the pub room in the front of the house – you would never know it was Christmas time here. It’s just how it goes this year. But I’m not really hearing any complaining from the kids. They are sure enjoying all the changes in the breakfast routine – especially when I gave them these Gingerbread Eggnog Muffins. Yep – you read that right. They were every bit as good as they sound.
You know – part of the goodness is that these are not just a muffin. It’s the streusel & then the eggnog glaze- YUM!! Seriously.
I should have made a double batch – these went way too quick.

Saw you live in N. Idaho. I grew up near Spokane just across the border from Idaho. Still own the farm there. Now in S. CA.
Sent your reindeer poop recipe to my grand son. It will appeal to a 6 year old’s sense of humor.
Thanks ,
