Hi Friends!
Hard to believe it’s time for another foodie penpals reveal day already!
This month I received my box from the lovely Nicole and Fruit ‘N Fitness! Nicole and I have been chatting a lot recently on Twitter so I was excited to see I’d be getting a box from her!
Here’s what she sent me:
Can’t tell you how pumped I was to see cookies in there 🙂
Here’s what was in the box:
- Fig jam that is AMAZING!
- A flavor of Clif bar I haven’t tried yet!
- All sorts of delicious chocolate- the dark chocolate almond ginger is SO GOOD!
- Homemade cookies + a recipe – they were delicious and didn’t last very long in my house!
- Seeds of Change Quinoa and brown rice
- Cocomama quinoa cereal- I wasn’t sure I would like it, but it’s really tasty!
Thank you so much Nicole for all the goodies! You’re the best.

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.
- Foodie Penplas is open to US, Canadian & European residents. Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. Same with Europeans.

that quinoa and brown rice packet is so good! i saute onions and cherry tomatoes and add a little Parmesan cheese and a bunch of vegetables and then add that packet – so good!!
omg sounds amazing!
I am away but my box is waiting for me at home! I will post my blog post about it when I get back on 10 May. Sorry to be late!!
no problem!
What a great package! I havent had cliff bars in forever! Ive had that flavor and it is one of my favorites! I need to sign up for foodie penpals again! Im so busy in May but maybe In June Ill do it again!
we’d love to have you any month!
Awesome package! What flavor of CocoaMama cereal did you get? I received the banana cinnamon in a package once and it was a tad off-putting, but I’d be willing to give the others a try, too!
Thanks for hosting another fun month of foodie penpals! I’m glad you liked some of the items in the box! I love their jams, I always look forward to seeing that farm at the farmers market!
I think I’m going to steal that cookie recipe! Looks good!
Thanks for hosting, Lindsay! I had so much fun doing this 🙂
glad you enjoyed it!
I must say, the top right photo in the collage is what caught my eye. 😉 I’ll have to look for that Dark Chocolate Almond Ginger Bar at my TJ’s – it sounds awesome!
it’s good! my mom loved it too!
I have no idea what I did wrong but I was not able to post about my box.
you weren’t able to link up? or post on your blog?
Those peanut butter cookies look amazing!
they were!!
I will DEFINITELY be joining in on this once we move into our house… we move in the middle of the month so shipping/etc. could get confusing 🙂
yay for next month!
Yum those cookies Nicole sent you sounded and looked delicious 🙂
I wish we had this foodie penpal thing in Australia.
we’ve tried it there a few times. there’s just not enough consistent interest!
Damn! I wish there was more interest. Maybe one day 🙂
I marvel at how you organize the coolest, most wonderful group events. God I love you… and the fig jam looks amaze balls.
had it for breakfast today. deeelish!
Wow! Awesome box. Love the home-made cookies! Nice one Nicole! 🙂
I love this month’s foodie penpal. Looking forward for next month’s 🙂
I loved my package from my Foodie Penpal!
Thanks so much Shim!
I can not wait to join this next month! I wish I could do it this month, but with finals and everything I wouldn’t be able to give my best attempt at a good box. June Foodie PenPals here I come 🙂
What a wonderful package 🙂 so fun!
