Hi Friends!
It’s my favorite day of the month 
Foodie Penpals reveal day!!
Anyways…she knocked it out of the park with this box. Seriously. It was packed to the brim with delicious goodies. Wanna see?!
- Homemade Kombucha- delicious!
- Homemade Energy Bars- perfect snack!
- Homemade Savory Seed & Nut Mix- for topping soups and salads
- Apple Butter- Delicious on toast
- Bread- From her favorite bakery…inhaled it!
- Single Serving Chia Seed Packets- perfect for my purse
- Justin’s Nut Butter & PB cups- my fav
- Trader Joe’s Green Tea Mints- awesome since I gave up gum!
- Fun Foodie Magazines- LOVE foodie mags
I thought this was the CUTEST idea! I’ve had the country one in my car since I got it. She got some of my favs on there but alson introduced me to some new artists. I’ve been listening to “Beer Money” by Kip Moore and “Georgia Peaches” by Lauren Alaina on repeat for the past 2 weeks. Love them!
-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.
-Foodie Penplas is open to US & Canadian residents. Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. We’ve determined things might get too slow and backed up if we’re trying to send foods through customs across the border from US to Canada and vice versa.
If you’re interested in participating for June, please CLICK HERE to fill out the participation form and read the terms and conditions.
You must submit your information by June 4th as pairings will be emailed on June 5th! You will receive a confirmation email from me within 24 hours if you sign up. IF YOU DON’T GET ONE, send me an email!
*If you’re from somewhere besides the US, Canada or Europe and want to participate, send me an email and I’ll see if we get enough interest this month!

P.s. I loveeeee Boston too! Spent two weeks there a few years ago and loved every minute of it.

Well isn’t that CD idea just brilliant?? I love it! I may have to “borrow” it one month or two in the future. How creative! I agree, the ginger-peach combination is quite delightful. Kudos on another great month!

natalie @ southern fit foodie recently posted..Foodie PenPal Reveal!
One of my favorite days of the month also! The wife always makes a delicious meal from her odd assortment of items mailed to her each month. Not sure how she does it! http://midwesternbite.com/foodie-pen-pals-mini-meal-may-chopped-challenge/
Husband recently posted..Foodie Pen Pals Mini Meal May Chopped Challenge
Holy crap look at that! You got an awesome box. I’m kind of disappointed with mine this month (I got BEANS.), but she sent me some interesting spices, so that’s fun.
Calee (@chimes) recently posted..Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
I’m so happy you liked everything! Yes — the ginger peach granola recipe is coming. Soon, I promise.
The CDs were a random stroke of genius when I came across a pile of old CD-Rs while I cleaning and packing — and it definitely helps that we like so much of the same music. In fact – those are 2 of the most played songs from my 16+ hour drive!
Lena (@LenaOnTheBeach) recently posted..May Foodie Penpals
haha they were so good. i love them!
Thank you for putting together this awesome Foodie Pen Pal Club. I love it!
Angie @ Big Bear’s Wife recently posted..French Tomato Pumpkin Soup #FoodiePenPals Box

Kailey recently posted..A Breakfast To Remember
Wow, you definitely scored with all of those goodies! I’m especially curious about the kombucha… I’ve yet to try any kind as I’m not a huge sweet tea person. I think I may just have to bite the bullet!
Vesna recently posted..Foodie PenPals – Reveal Day!
You like country music?!?!!? We can be friends.
duh. it’s my fav
How fun!! As soon as I get a not so crazy month, I so wanna join you all!
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables recently posted..Packing Up and Ova Ova Giveaway
yes! we’d love to have you!
Wow, what a fantastic box! I think I’d be feeling the pressure to get matched with you. I’m kind of sad this month – my penpal didn’t seem to blog about her box. She did send me a sweet thank you email, so there’s that.
Thanks again as always for all the work you put into Foodie Pen Pals. So fun.
carrie@familyfitnessfood.com recently posted..Foodie Pen Pals – Reveal Day
OK, I need to retract my last comment. I’m just impatient and my Pen Pal did post about her box. And, she even liked what I sent – yay!
Carrie@FamilyFitnessFood.com recently posted..Foodie Pen Pals – Reveal Day

Thanks for all your hard work organizing this Lindsay! I love that you got some fun homemade gifts too.
What a great package!
I love this exchange! Thanks so much for running it!

Hi! Just finding this foodie pen pals – what a fun idea! I signed up & am excited to join! Thanks for your effort, I am enjoying your blog. You seem to be good at web design/tech stuff. I am impressed, I am new to blogging and learning but realying on what’s there for me, cannot write html code!
Annie@afterwork5k recently posted..4:30am or face the Dreadmill
WOW! What a fantastic above-and-beyond awesome package! The CDs are SUCH a thoughtful extra. That Edible Boston magazine looks beautiful. It reminded me that we have an Edible Chicago publication too that I love, but it can only be found at very few shops in the city – I need to go on a treasure hunt to get myself a copy!
Just found out about this & had to sign up right away! This is SO cool! I can’t wait to start!!!!
I missed my chance to reveal the beautiful package Emilie of http://scarboroughfoodfair.blogspot.com sent me for May. It’s totally my fault for lateness, but I hoped I could still link through the comments here: http://feedyouwithakiss.net/?p=401 Thanks so much Emilie for such a great pen pal experience and for the delicious local treats!
