An early Christmas present to me is hosting the Blogger Secret Ingredient for Week 62! Thanks to Julie for passing the duties! Since I am sure we have all been eating A LOT of yummy treats I figured that a more savory ingredient would be fun. I am also extending this one more week- everyone was so busy with the holidays that I only got a few recipes.
Balsamic Vinegar
Balsamic Vinegar can be used for so many things- salad dressing, sauces, a glaze and the list goes on and on!
In case you’re not familiar with BSI here are the details:
The rules:
- 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 the host with their recipes.
- You do not have to have a food blog to participate, and you do not have to submit a photograph (although it is preferred).
- If you don’t have a blog, you can submit your recipe to the host, and she will post your recipe for you on her blog.
- The host reviews the recipe submissions by Sunday night of each week.
- The hosts pick a recipe that is her favorite.
- The host posts the winner Monday morning and sends the winner a token prize of her choosing.
