It’s the last day of the month which means it is Foodie PenPal reveal time!
My penpal was Leila over at Spinach and Skittles! She sent me an amazing package that was incredibly thoughtful and delicious.
She sent this fabulous Vegi Soup Mix from Bob’s Red Mill. It has everything you need in it. All I did was pour the contents into the pot, add water and voila I made soup! It was lacking in spices and flavor so I recommend added lots of salt and pepper and spices but otherwise, it was very hearty and satisfying. [Doesn’t look like it but it was!]
My favorite treats she sent were the dried kiwis and chocolate covered almonds. They are exactly what I LOVE to snack on and definitely something I would pick up at the bins!
Thanks for a great Foodie PenPal Package! If you are interested in what I sent, head over to Sarah and see for yourself!
In case you’re a interested in participating in the Foodie PenPal program is all about:
-On the 5th of every 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 are 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. *US Residents only please at this time- hopefully we can expand soon!*
