Hi Friends!
Time for another Foodie Penpals Reveal Day.

This month I was lucky enough to receive my package from Kerry at The Adventures of Z & K. She is the absolute sweetest and hooked me up with some delicious treats!
Here’s what she sent me:

World’s cutest package. It was so colorful and she tied everything up with cute little ribbons and attached hand-written notes. I loved it!
Here are all the goodies!

- Cookies from her local farmer’s market- SO GOOD!
- Homemade spelt bread- LOVED IT!
- Candied ginger- I added it to my trailmix like she suggested. New fav!
- Gone Nuts- I love trying new products. Saving this to top my yogurt sometime soon!
- Old Bay- One of my fav seasonings 🙂
Thank you SO MUCH Kerry!

And now it’s time for some details about Foodie Penpals. In case you’re a new reader, here’s a reminder of what the 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.
-Foodie Penplas is open to US, Canadian & European residents. Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. Same with Europeans. 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 from the US or Canada and are in participating for August, please CLICK HERE to fill out the participation form and read the terms and conditions.
You must submit your information by August 4th as pairings will be emailed on August 5th!
*If you’re from Europe, please CLICK HERE to signup.

Enjoy!

I was also paired with Kerry this month! You’re right, she is super sweet and you received a great box from her. Thanks for starting such an fun program that brings foodies together!
Homemade spelt bread! That’s so awesome. Now, I so want to try my hand at making my own bread. I should really get on that.
Glad you liked the treats Lindsay!
I got really in to care package making while my fiance was on deployment. Decorating the inside of the box as well as the individual contents would always make it a bit more special when he would open them. Now I’ve just started doing it every time I send one!
This was my first month as a “foodie pen pal” and I so loved it! Thank You Lindsay for starting such a wonderful program!
Soo jealous! I didn’t participate this month but I think I’ll join next month!
every month I see these and be jealous :-0
So fun! Old Bay…a Baltimore thing, for sure! : )
this is the second month in TWO YEARS that i forgot to sign up. boo. signing up for august now.
This program seems so fun! I’d really love to try it but I’m not sure I feel comfortable with giving my address out…
Wow, what a great box. This was my first month taking part (via the UK and Europe version) and it was so much fun 🙂
This is one of the most creative ideas that I have ever heard about!!!
The Gone Nuts are so good! The white chocolate is amazing. Thanks for putting this together every month!
What a neat idea. I’ll share this with friends.
