So, we have to throw out the disclaimer that our pick was subjective to our individual tastes and preferences. While all the recipes made our mouths water, there were a few that stood out to us and will be putting in our “recipe banks.”
So without further delay, the “winner” of our Blogger Secret Ingredient challenge is….
Heather from Hangry Pants!
Both of us said that this was our number one dish we’d like to make ourselves. Congratulations, Heather – she will be receiving a loaf of Erin’s favorite BEST.BREAD.EVER!
But wait, there’s more! We couldn’t go without recognizing two other entries. We found these two recipes to be creative and unique and needed to be awarded too. So, these two lovely ladies will receive a loaf of Andrea’s favorite – Dave’s Killer Bread!
Andrea from Off Her Cork!
Meghann from The Inner Workings of a College Graduate!
We will be contacting you gals shortly so that we can send you your prizes!
We want to thank all of you for submitting your recipes – we can’t wait to try them ourselves and to see them on the blog scene! It’s been a blast and we just might have to have another contest soon…..
But, now we have to pass the Blogger Secret Ingredient torch to one of our (and everybody’s!) blog friends. We know that she’ll pick something a.ma.zing and we’re looking forward to the challenge!
Jenn from Eating Bender!
We can’t wait to see what you’ll cook up for us!
