BSI stands for Blogger Secret Ingredient. Each week a new host picks an ingredient and anyone (food blogger or not) can submit a recipe. The contests starts on a Monday, and recipes need to be submitted by Sunday night of that week. Then the next day the host chooses a winner and picks someone to host next weeks contest.


It is up to each weeks host to deem what the prize will be.

2. i link back to all the other previous weekly hosts;

3. i review all your lovely recipe submissions by Sunday night (june 20th, 2010);

4. i pick a recipe that is my favorite; and

5. i'll post the winner Monday morning and send the winner a token prize of my choosing.
