A BSI Challenge for YOU
What is BSI you ask?
Blogger Secret Ingredient.
I was contacted last week by Karen from To Be The Whole Package and she asked if I would like to host the next BSI challenge week. Excited, I said YES! But then.. I had to think “What in the world am I going to pick?”
I have spent the last week trying to come up with something… of course I have had one busy week as well so posting the BSI challenge last Sunday was a no-go for me. I was then contacted by another blogger saying, ‘where is the bsi challenge? It was supposed to be up by now!"’
As our niece Emily would say… oopsie daisy!
So, bloggers, consider yourselves lucky to have had a week off! But now it’s time to get your thinking caps back on.
I had originally wanted mint. Nope, it’s been done! Week 15!
Then I wanted walnuts, but again… Amy at Coffee talk had used that one in week 13!
Your BSI challenge this week is to use the ingredient:
CHERRIES

Hi Leah!
Ok, I’ve never really asked all the questions I have about BSI, so I’m still not 100% sure how it all works! Basically we submit our recipe ideas to you for your chosen ingredient, and then you just pick the winner? Cherries is a great idea, I’ll have to put my thinking cap on
Did you know there’s a third Trek flavor?! A cocoa one?! I can’t find it anywhere but I’m dying to try it!
CHERRIES!!! Great pick! I think I already have and idea brewing in my head!!!
Cherry crack wrap? Okay, I promise I won’t do that one…
But I’ve got nothing but time and creativity on my side!
Oooh I love cherries! I’ll join in! What fun..
Oh fun!! There’s a huge cherry festival in MI at the end of June
That sounds like a lot of fun! Does the recipe have to be healthy though?
Ohh cherries thats a tough one! I NEVER use cherries! Can they be dried?
Oh wow, what a great choice! I can’t wait to dive into some delicious cherries!
Oh yum! The mango passion fruit and raspberry teas look awesome!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cherries… if I can whip something up between my exam and my road trip, I’m there.
(I just had a cherry smoothie by the way.. mmm cherries..)
oooh im liking this one! Must get thinking…
Yaaay for your ingredient!
This one is going to be a tough one for me to make because cherries are nowhere to be found out here (yet). I may have to use the canned kind . . . we’ll see what I come up with!
I’ve got to get my hands on some cherries… I want to enter a BSI contest one of these weeks!!
Mmm, cherries. Sucks that they aren’t in season though, cuz I don’t think you can even get frozen ones around here (not that I’ve ever seen anyways). I’ll have to see if my ol’ brain can come up with something decent.
Great pick! Thanks for hosting this week! “D
