It’s no secret I love love love garlic, so when homecookedem very kindly asked me to be this week’s Blogger Secret Ingredient hostess, I knew right away which ingredient to choose.
Incorporating garlic is such a fun and easy way to add flavor to any meal. I’m so excited to see everyone’s entries this week, and hopefully I’ll find some I want to try out :)
The basic idea of the BSI is for you all to submit a recipe you’ve created that features garlic as an ingredient. Email me your recipe with a picture and a link to your blog if you have one.
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.
Make sure you visit all of these fabulous bloggers that have hosted the secret ingredient week in the past.

Jenn — the cookies you made look incredible. Not really sure of the rules of the contest but I did make something with garlic this week. However, it is not a totally original recipe — I modified it slightly from something from Cooking Light. Anyway, enjoy break — I can’t wait for mine to start in 9 long days….
I made a pumpkin gorgonzola pasta!
