This afternoon, I had the pleasure of attending a lovely blogger brunch hosted by Chobani. We tasted a bunch of delicious foods made with Chobani yogurt, and then Chef Jason, the Chobani Kitchen Executive Chef, shared a number of his favorite recipes and demonstrated how to cook an easy, cheesy frittata.
On the menu:
I tried—and loved—all of the different menu items. Each one was so tasty, and I’m excited to make them at home myself very soon.
Strawberry Scones (You can use any flavor of Chobani to make these!)
Apparently, Theordora is the newest employee of Carrots ‘N’ Cake. I told her I’d give her the same deal as I give my pug intern: look cute for photos and I will feed you. Of course, she agreed.
After mixing, mingling, and sampling delicious eats, it was time for the cooking demonstration by Chef Jason. He showed us how to make a “Chottata” using Chobani 2% yogurt, veggies, and melted cheddar and Gruyere cheese on top.
Chef Jason beat the Chobani right into the eggs. I love this idea! I would have never thought to add yogurt to eggs, but it makes perfect sense.
The Chotatta tasted amazing! It was light, flavorful, and delicious. The melted cheese was a fabulous addition.
With Jess!
Bloggers with Chef Jason!
Chef Jason talked about a ton of his favorite Chobani recipes and mentioned that a bunch of new ones will be added to the website in the coming months. He also may have said something about a recipe for Blue Cheese Alfredo. Holy yum!
After the event, Theodora and I were hungry for lunch, so we went to Hummus Kitchen for a bite to eat.
I ordered the Sampler Platter, which came with hummus, falafel, beets, green tahini, oven-roasted cauliflower, bureka, and a whole white pita. Tasting plates rule.
After lunch, I grabbed an iced coffee with soy milk from Starbucks (because I have an iced coffee addiction).
I’m heading back to Boston in a little bit. I can’t believe my trip is already over. Wah. I guess I just need to visit again soon!

What a cool event. Looks like a fun (and tasty) time!
That looks like my dream event, I love yogurt!
Chobani is the best. I am definitely going to have to try the chobani in eggs! I’m sure my roommate would love that too.
I’m still thinking about that blue cheese alfredo you mentioned! I’d be all over that, esp when all the other food looks so yummy!
Wow, that event looks awesome! What an amazing opportunity!
That looks so fun!
The Cranberry Oatmeal Bars look heavenly! Isn’t Hummus Kitchen amazing. Its one of my favorite places in the city for a quite bite

xoo
Keep up the amazing work and positive attitude. You are fabulous, Tina.
A little bit of everything! My favorite things about samplers!!
That event sounds awesome! It’s easy to forget just how versatile yogurt can be!
Wow! That looks like such a great event. I can’t wait to try Chobani in my eggs!
this looks like so much fun! free healthy food=win.
i’ve been using yogurt in a lot of my baking lately.. it ups the protein and maintains moisture without adding a ton of calories or bad fats (i’m a-ok with the good fats!).
OK, I had to break down and comment. I found your blog several months ago while searching “marathon training” and I’ve been hooked ever since. I, too, have an incredibly cute, but much heavier pug, am training for my third marathon and I am always trying to eat healthy. I just bought a couple of pairs of Old Navy shorts because they ARE the perfect length. My daughter is now hooked as well and when she came home and saw the s’mores on a stick, she commented that “someone spent a little time with Tina today”. Thank you for your inspirational blog. I look forward to it daily.
Looks like a fun get together. How did you hear about it? I am trying to find out about local fit bloggers get together, but I am having a hard time plugging into a bloggers community. Any suggestions?
AWESOME!!! Chobani and hummus are a couple of my fav foods : )
I would have loved to be there. I’m a Chobani enthusiast! I eat at least 2 a day, sometimes 3.
I’ve been adding plain Greek yogurt to eggs for scrambled eggs for some time. It’s a science to get the right amount (add some, then add a bit more for the “right” consistency), but they’re so creamy now! (I used to add skim milk, but it wasn’t ‘right’ and I just couldn’t add cream to my eggs…)
Mmm I love the sampling platters at different places too
There should really me a huge, neon-flashing arrow that says “indecisive foodies who want to order/substitute one of everything on the menu, order THIS!!”
Talk about the job of my dreams:) This post and the Italian food tour post…so lucky!
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Thanks again for joining us yesterday, Tina. We had so much fun, and it was great to finally meet you in person! Looking forward to the mac n’ cheese.
i wish I had gone, looks awesome. must try hummus kitchen.
Everything look so good
I love Theodora’s dress, Butterflys make me happy 
I love Chobani and I can’t wait for them to unveil their new recipes. What a fun event. I hope they put on events like that on the west coast too.
Great ideas! I’ve made the strawberry scones before, but will need to try some of their new recipes! Thanks!
I’m also in love with Chobani, what a fun post! I love your skirt Tina, where did you get it?
