Join me this Wednesday for a Twitter party to celebrate National Egg Month!  I am teaming up with the Teflon Brand to answer questions, post cooking tips and share recipes.

It’s all happening this Wednesday May 15th at 7:00 PM CST and we will be using the hashtag #TeflonEggMonth

Also, be sure to follow @TeflonBrand and @BetterRecipes on Twitter.

Prizes include:

Farberware Triple Pack, A Teflon “Flip It” Pan, Technique Cast Iron Pan,  an apron coated with Teflon Fabric Protector and “Breakfast & Brunches” cookbooks, and even a Tramontina 14-piece cookware set!
