About 2 weeks ago Emily from Chobani invited me to attend an intimate brunch where we would all meet Chef Jason, Chobani Kitchen Executive Chef! Emily is super sweet, and I can’t thank her enough for inviting me!! I love Chobani and couldn’t miss it, so the hubby and I went and then spent the day in the city. We tasted recipes, talked about Chobani, and even got to chat with Chef Jason! We also watched him make a delicious omelet made with Chobani! I’ve used Chobani in the place of sour cream, mayonnaise, but I’ve never thought of actually cooking with it. I wasn’t even aware that it could hold up in temperatures while baking! I’m so glad I went because not only do I have another reason to love this incredible yogurt, I can share healthier options when I bake/cook for my friends and family!
I have to admit ever since eating one Chobani I can’t even think about eating another yogurt. Those fake colored, artificially sweetened, and who know’s what is in this thing yogurts are a part of my past – that’s where they’re staying! I’m so excited to start experimenting in the kitchen with Chobani and I’m even more excited that they gave us all a little recipe box.
They also gave us Chobani Kitchen Aprons – I love Aprons!
Friday was my last day of work until September, so I figured I’d make some goodies for my co-workers. These bars were the first to go!
