What To Do About Extra 'Nog?


Recently my lovely friend Brigette and I talked about our un-healthy eating habits. We agreed that when we slip, we tend to slip big and like to get it over with in a single day. During the average month, this way of thinking can be detrimental to a healthy diet. However, during the holiday season, saving up all your food pennies for a single day make sense. In case you still have some (soy) egg nog laying around and are nearly over this seasonal delight. A satisfying and waist-line friendly pancake recipe shall be yours to create! These are fluffy and received high marks from Grant Park. You can customize syrup by whisking together maple syrup, egg nog and spoonful of yogurt.

Wishing all my booties a very happy holiday season.
