BSI stands for Blogger Secret Ingredient. It's kind of an Iron-Chef-style recipe challenge, where 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 week's contest.
The secret ingredient for this week is....drum roll please...BLACK EYE PEAS! Although I will choose the recipe I deem to be the tastiest as the winner, bloggers who successfully follow the parameters of the Food Desert Project (using only foods you can find in a dollar or drugstore) will get a special mention and link on the winning page (feel free to browse the food desert project for techniques!) Send your recipes to me no later than Sunday at 8pm at michelhays AT juno DOT com. You can either link to a blog post, or send the entire recipe as an email - please send photos if you've got them!
NOTE: once you've sent your recipe, please post a comment on my blog, just to double-check that I received it. At this time, odds are pretty good for an entry to win!
The winner will receive a charming picnic-cooler-for-two, similar to this one! (sorry, I can only ship to the contiguous US states)
If you are considering hosting, please let me know in your email. Prizes are entirely the discretion of each week's host – for my win, I received a much-appreciated bar of Lindt chocolate that went to good use in s'mores! Be forewarned - if you participate, I may send an email to hit you up to host next week's round (it's easy, and you'll meet and be viewed by all kinds of foodbloggers)
To recap -
Hosts:
- Pick an ingredient, preferably one that is in season and readily available and not too expensive;
- Link back to all the other previous weekly hosts;
- Review the recipe submissions by Sunday night of each week;
- Pick a recipe that is your favorite; and
- Post the winner Monday morning and send the winner a token prize of your choosing.
- Do not have to have a food blog to participate
- Do not have to submit a photograph
- Can submit a recipe via email to that week's host if they don't have a blog - the host will post your recipe for you!

Great post! Glad that came out well - black eyed peas should be interesting because I don't like them.
But, I said that the last time someone picked sweet potatoes and actually made a dish I loved!
All the way back to November of 2008!
