Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 I have egg-nog every day for breakfast: 1 c raw milk 3 raw eggs about a tsp of vanilla nutmeg cinnamon about a teaspoon of raw honey. It's great, and my daughter loves it. Unfortunately, my toddler daughter discovered chocolate on Halloween, and she thinks it's " really, really good, Mommy " (which explains my insatiable cravings for chocolate while pregnant with her and well into breastfeeding relationship). So, instead of making it off limits (which woulud definitely turn her into an addict)- here's my compromise: Chocholate shake for chocolate lovers who can't give it up (I know you're out there) 1 c raw milk 3 raw eggs about tsp vanilla tsp raw honey 2 teaspoons coconut oil (I use Mt. Banashaw) about 2 teaspoons cocoa powder (unsweetened) - I use Valrona The coconut oil is great for cutting an appetite for almost the entire day. I actually use this as my personal diet shake for a couple of days when I want to curb eating after holiday parties, etc. My daughter asks for this about twice a week. The rest of the time, she wants the " yellow shake " - e.g., egg nog. Enjoy. ----- Original Message ----- From: luisaperkins@...

I plan to start tinkering (egg nog is my holiday Achilles' heel), and would love any input. I figure that I can't go wrong with raw cream and eggs from grass-fed sources, a little rapadura or maple syrup, and some fresh nutmeg, right?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 The egg nog recipe sounds delicious, but isn't that an awful lot of raw egg whites to be eating every day? Willa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 Dear all, Better to use just the egg yolks instead of the whole egg in egg nog, shakes and smoothies. The raw egg white can cause digestive problems. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 I've been making egg nog too, similar recipe to the one just posted. I don't get fresh cow milk very often as yet, so I've been making it with goat milk. It's good, although doesn't have the same rich taste as with cream and cow milk. This is how I got my kids to finally start drinking goat milk! They have given up complaining about it and drink plain goat milk as well as the egg nog now.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 I don't have a problem with the raw egg whites, but yolks alone would be great too. ----- Original Message ----- From: HomeoUSA@...

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2001 Report Share Posted December 1, 2001 Do you coddle the eggs first, or just use them really raw? My husband would flip out if I gave our kids raw eggs!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 Well I tried homemade eggnog this evening. It was good, except I made one mistake. I accidentally grabbed the cloves instead of the nutmeg! Oh well, the kids wanted more. It is better with nutmeg. Grace, a Augustine I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

Even after being heated, apparently some lactobacillius remain. Sources besides NT that I've seen discuss this are Laurel's Bread Book, The Grain and Salt Society and this page at French Meadow Bakery http://www.frenchmeadowbakery.com/noyeast.htm The fact that the bread continues to sour a bit in the days after baking and that it ages well seems to indicate that it is somewhat a living food, or at least a good host for friendly bacteria, unlike most cooked foods which spoil quickly. I think I read in NT, correct me if I'm wrong, that even the mold that might form on it is not harmful. I've done some experimenting with the seed cheeses. I'm trying to devise a sandwich spread. Some I've made have been pretty good, but nothing good enough to repeat. My dog is always willing to eat my flops :-). Anyway, I've been grinding a combination of seeds and spices with whey in the Vita-Mix and then putting them in a covered jar for a few days. Baker has recipes in her Uncook Book using fermec (rejuvelac) in place of whey. She says that the mold that forms on the sesame cheese is good to eat and that if it is stirred back into the cheese will impart a blue cheese flavor. Her recipe calls for 3 cups seed meal, 1 c. or more fermec & 2-3 tsp. kelp. Cover, press into covered dish and leave out 1-2 days, then refrigerate.
