As the festivities are just around the corner, I went grocery shopping the other day in search of some yummy pre-made treats. I was bound and determined to find some "regular" holiday goodies that I could enjoy with my family.
After fruitlessly wandering the holiday isles, I was about to just throw in the towel, when I spotted the eggnog. Feeling frustrated and down, I nonetheless went to read the ingredients list. Surely something thick and creamy couldn't possibly be gluten free?
Miracles do happen! The lovely carton of Dairygold eggnog even states "Gluten Free"! I was thrilled! So home I went, my treasure clutched lovingly to my chest.
When I informed my husband of my find, he immediately opened the carton and poured us both some to drink. Watching in horror as he drank the eggnog straight, I cringed, and grabbed a bottle of Sprite. Which then prompted him to watch in horror as I added Sprite to my eggnog. Now it was ready to drink.
So, I ask you all, do any of you add Sprite to your eggnog, or is this just a strange family tradition of mine? Let me know your thoughts, ideas, and other holiday treats you found to be gluten free!
Oh yeah - I think I squealed out loud when I saw the words "Gluten Free" on the carton of Darigold Eggnog! I love that more companies are putting it on their label. And I ABSOLUTELY put Sprite in it! Are you kidding me?! :)
ReplyDeleteMy hubby's parents were here for Thanksgiving and saw Tony pour Sprite into his eggnog and asked what in the world he was doing - he said, "Haven't we always done that?" Evidently not. He was surprised to know that he'd adopted that tradition from my family instead of inheriting it from his! ;)
I'm so excited to see a link to GF Gingerbread Cookies on your blog! I've got to try that. My Holiday favorite is Bette Hagman's recipe for Pecan Bars - every bit as good as pecan pie!
