These muffins are my favorite thing. Waaaay back in the day, I used to be a travel agent, and I worked in close proximity to a little bakery called The Pastry Cafe.

Today, I’m posting a breakfast food that I make for my kids alllll the time, but “Christmas-ified” You know that scene in Love Actually where Billy Mack says “Yes… but we changed the word ‘love’ to ‘Christmas…” Basically, I just change my french toast recipe to include eggnog instead of milk.
