Thanks to Karena for passing the Blogger Secret Ingredient (BSI) honor on to me! Check out her site for last week’s winner and secret ingredient!
I have seen BSI posts here and there but have not followed them 100%, so I am looking forward to catching up on all of the previous posts, which you can find links to below.
What exactly is Blogger Secret Ingredient? (Thanks again Karena for the roundup!)
- The host picks an ingredient, preferably one that is in season, readily available and not too expensive.
- The host links back to all the other previous weekly hosts.
- Participants create a unique recipe using the BSI and e-mail (or comment and link to) the host their recipes.
- You do not need to have a food blog to participate, and you do not have to submit a photograph (though, it’s preferred so I can show everyone your fabulous creations).
- If you don’t have a blog, you can e-mail the host (traveleatlove2009@hotmail.com) directly and it will be posted on the blog.
- The host reviews recipes Sunday evening of each week and picks a favorite.
- The winner is posted Monday morning and receives a prize of the host’s choice.
What is this week’s Blogger Secret Ingredient, you ask? Drumroll please. . .
Coconut milk! I use a lot of coconut milk in the winter. It adds a nice flavor to soups and curries making them feel a little more “gourmet” than just regular old broth does. I look forward to seeing what you all come up with for this week’s Blogger Secret Ingredient. The prize? A Trader Joe’s snack pack yet to be determined but that will definitely include deliciousness!
