Last night, I enjoyed a special blogger dinner hosted by Mary Kate from Kitchenbelle.com and Eggland’s Best. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with fellow Boston-area bloggers and taste delicious (and nutritious) food made with Eggland’s Best eggs.
The event was held at Stella in the heart of the South End.
Everyone received a gift bag full of goodies from Kitchenbelle and Eggland’s Best. There was tons of good stuff inside! I’m most excited about the Kitchen Sink Cookie, which I am saving for Cookie Friday! 
Quite the group of bloggers was invited to the event. I heard there were 32 of us!
Before dinner, we enjoyed appetizers.
And cocktails! I had a mimosa.
There were all sorts of goodies on the tables for us, including Better than Brownie Cookie Peanut Butter Sandwiches from Kitchenbelle! 
Our table!
Before dinner, the folks from Eggland’s Best welcomed us and briefly talked about what gives EB eggs their great taste and better nutrition. If you want to learn more about EB eggs, here’s some great info about the brand and their eggs:
Then, it was time to dig in! The theme of the evening was Breakfast for Dinner.
Dinner was a 3-course meal with lots of egg-inspired dishes.
ANTIPASTI
Fresh Fruit Salad & Stella Chop Salad with chicken, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, bacon, and red onion
ENTREE
Linguini “Carbonara” with poached egg, smoke bacon, and Parmesan & Duck Omelet with duck confit, crumbled goat cheese, mushrooms, and baby spinach
Duck sort of bugs me out, so I ate around it in the omelet. The Linguini “Carbonara” was delicious (and duck-free), so I chowed it right down!
French Toast with warm Vermont maple syrup
LOVED THIS! 
DESSERT
Chocolate Torte with vanilla gelato and chocolate sauce
Chocolate Torte is always a yummy dessert, but I was pretty full, so I only ate about half of it.
Before I left the event, I made sure to snap a photo with my email buddy, Lainie, from EB. It was great to finally meet her in person!
Great event! Thanks, Mary Kate and Eggland’s Best!

So many things to do with eggs!! The brownie cookie sandwich thing – THAT sounds right up my street :p
Looks like it was a lovely event!

Everything looks great but the chocolate dessert and the French toast sound out of this world!
What a fun event from egglands best! I love their eggs, they really are superior to everything except if I could ever find a local hen house
Fun! I love the little favor bags!
The food looks amazing.
Hmmm, french toast!
WOW amazing dinner!
You go to some of the best dinners, girl! I have food envy.
What a great event–so much yummy food!
stella is one of my FAVORITE restaurants!!!!! I love that they hosted this event!

Love Brinner (Breakfast for Dinner) and all your food looked tasty
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever had a devilled egg! But I’d still rather have the French Toast, if someone offered me both
Looks like a fun night!
Awesome night! Breakfast for dinner is my absolute favorite! Looks like great food and a good time!
What a fun event! Considering I make breakfast for dinner every Thursday, I am totally running out of ideas! French toast will have to be next-thanks for the inspiration!
Oops, sorry forgot my link.
French Toast with warm Vermont maple syrup and the Chocolate Torte with vanilla gelato and chocolate sauce looked amazing! Too much temptation for me:)!
What a fun dinner! (And a cool way to learn about eggs
)
Yummy food especially the french toast and the dessert. Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorites.
That looks like so much fun!!! Lainie is great!!
At first I thought you’d be eating meals with obvious eggs in them and I got a little sick. I’m weird about eggs like that. But now I see that they were foods that used eggs in the ingredients, like that awesome dessert. So I take it back–this looks like a great time!
Looks so fun! I love the little egg stuffed animals, too cute.
Yum, that french toast looks delicious!!! Probably moreso since I’ve been craving my favorite custard french toast lately.
Looks like a very fun event! I’m envious that you get invited to all these great things! Lucky you!
That linguine looks delicious. So many good eats, it must have been a fun night.
I wish I liked eggs. I do use them in cooking just not obvious eggs and I do buy EB when I get them.
What a fun event and great recap! Great to seeing you there!
I swear you have the best job!
Looks like a great night! It’s all about the eggs
I like the theme. Breakfast for dinner yay!! Breakfast is the best meal of the day 
Friday coming up soon!
Wei-Wei
Full or not I think I would have a hard time eating only half of that torte. It looks delicious.
Eggs are my favorite thing everrrrrr. I am super jealous of that dinner. Looks fab!
what a fun event!
love the idea of breakfast for dinner – i do it all the time!
That chocolate torte looks so yummy!! Eggland’s best has seriously the best eggs. They always come out so light and fluffy…I try not to buy any other kind.
Great photos, Tina! I actually “borrowed” one for my blog, but gave you credit
As a PR pro, having and promoting a blog is SO important and this event was a great way to do so.

i mean seriously, what a fabulous dinner! i don’t even know where to start, and i don’t want to take over your comments section, so i’ll just say that a mimosa and deviled eggs sounds pretty incredible right now. the end
Deviled eggs are one of my favorites! I can eat a lot of them at once.
Dangerous. Looks like a fun event and the food looked so delicious! I like duck. 
You should give it a try.
Looks like an awesome event- I was supposed to go but I had to work
Sad I missed it though, everything looks so yummy!
Awesome event! The food looks wonderful. I buy Eggland’s Best cage free eggs all the time.

Oh yumm! Those deviled eggs look so good. I haven’t has one in ages. I will have to make some soon. Looks like fun. Oh and the desserts- drool!
I love all the fun ways they used eggs. Shows me some new ways to make meals with eggs a protein.
I would have gladly eaten the duck for ya! And I love the little stuffed eggs they gave you in the goodie bags!
