Egg Nog Cinnamon Rolls

Healthy Fact of the Day

While these are a holiday indulgence, some ingredients offer nutritional benefits. Eggs provide protein and essential nutrients. To make slightly healthier, use whole wheat flour for part of the all-purpose flour to add fiber. Consider reducing sugar in the filling or using a natural sweetener alternative. For a lighter glaze, use milk instead of eggnog. The spices like cinnamon and nutmeg contain antioxidants and may help regulate blood sugar. These rolls are best enjoyed as an occasional treat during the holiday season. Consider freezing half the batch to enjoy later and control portions.

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup eggnog

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

M&M’s Recall Issued Over Missing Allergen Warnings on Repackaged Products

Even if you’ve eaten a product safely before, always check the label each time you buy it. Manufacturers occasionally reformulate recipes, change suppliers, or add new allergen warnings. When cooking for others, ask about food allergies before you start, and keep ingredients in their original packaging until serving so guests can verify allergen information themselves. This simple habit can prevent serious allergic reactions and shows respect for people managing food allergies.
