As the weather starts cooling and the Holidays approach, I have found myself dreaming of eggnog! Unfortunately, sometimes my stomach doesn't do well with dairy, so last year I found some alternatives. I tried Silk Nog, and found that it was quite pleasant. It was definitely lighter than the real thing. Lactaid also came out with a lactose free version of eggnog! This one tasted closer to the real thing, but was also a bit lighter. I am just so happy that I have alternatives, so I can enjoy the wonderful taste of a holiday treat. My favorite thing to do with eggnog is to add it to my oatmeal in place of milk! I also like to substitute it for milk when making French toast.Here are some of my favorite eggnog recipes:

I love eggnog! This year I had to give up milk so I will be looking for your alternatives. Eggnog cheesecake sounds really good!
omg Lactaid eggnog is heaven in a glass!!!! i have turned all my milk-drinking friends onto it :) (or at least given them a hard sell...)
Hmmm egg free eggnog? Well isn't that kinda cool :) I'm gearing for the holidays too, and I know they'll be here in a flash.
And speaking of the chocolate drizzle comment you left me, how about chocolate drizzle on eggnog? That would make for some happy oatmeal too :)
Silk's Spice is also to die for! I like it warmed up on a cold evening. Oooh...you're making me eager for winter and the holidays. :-)
I'm sorry, what's eggnog?
Mmmm...eggnog! So good!

It's realy good!
You know what, I have real issues with Egg Nog. It's just not something I ever developed a taste for. Weird, I know, yet, there you have it!
Ooh yum! My husband and I love eggnog! We always get so excited when stores start carrying the holiday stash!
Oh wow. It is time to start thinking about eggnog again. Yum! I'm a huge silk nog fan. We call it sog around here. :)
I think this year I may actually have to try making eggnog!
Never had eggnog OR the vegan version. Ah well ;0)
Eggnog! Yes! I can't wait! Thanks for the highlight! :)
I love the eggnog flavor. Can't wait for it this year! My problem with it is that it is just too thick to drink straight. I like the lowfat versions and the silk is awesome, especially in coffee. Speaking of coffee love the eggnog latte from Starbucks. Thanks for the recipes!
I am a huge eggnog fan......love it
Woops, this was supposed to go here!
YESSSSSS!!!! I too LOVE Egg Nog!!!! I saw these alternatives last year, and didn't get around to trying them, I just went for the lower fat option... but these are a MUST TRY on my list this year!!!

I'm not sure you can get eggnog in England which is a shame, I really want to try it!
