Most healthy eaters aim to steer clear of creamy, boozy eggnog during the holiday season. Thanks to fat-free half-and-half, you can indulge in this rendition without straying away from your wellness goals. Plus, this satisfying recipe makes just enough to serve a small crowd so you and your guests won’t feel tempted to pour a refill. You can use the jarred ground variety of nutmeg if you’d liked. But we loved the potent aroma the freshly ground version lends. A microplane makes quick work out of grating the whole seed. Plus, the leftover whole seeds will hold up in your pantry better than the ground.
