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.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

 

For the filling:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp allspice

 

For the glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of nutmeg

  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, knead until smooth dough forms.

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!

KFC Is Offering Five Chicken Tenders for $5 — But Only Through June 8

Chicken tenders are one of the more protein-dense items you can order at a fast food chain, but the breading adds calories and sodium quickly. At KFC, pairing your tenders with a green beans or corn on the cob side instead of mashed potatoes or mac and cheese significantly improves the nutritional profile of the meal without giving up any of the chicken. If you’re watching sodium, skipping or going light on the dipping sauce is also an easy way to trim the overall intake — the tenders themselves have plenty of seasoning built in.

Baked Feta Pasta: How to Make the Internet’s Most Famous Recipe (And Then Make It Better)

Baked feta pasta is more balanced than it looks. Feta is actually lower in calories and fat than most hard cheeses, and the cherry tomatoes bring in a solid hit of lycopene and vitamin C. To lighten the dish further, use a whole grain or legume-based pasta — the sauce is rich enough that you won’t notice the swap. And don’t skip the fresh basil at the end — it’s not just garnish, it adds brightness that keeps the dish from feeling too heavy.
