Here I was all ready to have my greek yogurt and get in bed when I realized that I FORGOT something. How could I forget that it’s Foodie Penpal reveal day?
My penpal this month was Danielle and she sent me some great stuff! Check it out.
She sent along some roasted red peppers from Earth Fare! I don’t have an Earth Fare where I live so I was excited to see these!
She also sent these energy bars, which I LOVED. I’m going to look for them near me because they were delicious and had great nutrition stats!
In the box were also these whole wheat elk pastas. I’ve seen these at Ikea before but never got them. Can’t wait to try!
She also included some yummy coffee and a container of mixed nuts!
Thanks for a great box Danielle! And thank you Lindsay for being our fearless leader and organizing this awesome program every month! Here’s more about being a foodie penpal if you’re interested:
-On the 5th of the month, you will receive your penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.
-You will have until the 15th of the month to put your box of goodies in the mail. On the last day of the month, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal!
-The boxes are to be filled with fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats! The spending limit is $15. The box must also include something written. This can be anything from a note explaining what’s in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!
-You are responsible for figuring out the best way to ship your items depending on their size and how fragile they are. (Don’t forget about flat rate boxes!)
-Foodie Penpals is open to blog readers as well as bloggers. If you’re a reader and you get paired with a blogger, you can choose to write a short guest post for your penpal to post on their blog about what you received. If two readers are paired together, neither needs to worry about writing a post for that month.
Check out Lindsay’s blog or email her for more information.
Thanks for reading!
