Good day everyone! While reading a blog from another food blogger I came across a button that said ‘Foodie PenPals, wannabe join?’ I clicked the button and it brought me to The Lean Green Bean’s food blog. This idea looked amazing to me so I decided to give it a try. I received my box from Elisha over at Jump Eat Run. I absolutely loved my box.
I got so excited I had to make sure I took a picture of the box before I ripped it open.
Elisha sent me a very cute note explaining everything in the box. I love handwritten notes!!
Do you spot the tea bags? She’s read my blog and knows my weakness. By the way I am drinking a cup of the cinnamon and vanilla tea now…delicious!
My box came with the famous NY Black & White cookie, I savored this cookie with every bite and did not share. The organic lollipops were so good, I didn’t even know these existed. I need to find some more. Elisha is from Michigan so she sent me some maple syrup, this is good syrup. It tasted really good on my Strawberry Pancakes.
The last two items I have seen before but never tasted thanks to Elisha I think I have found a new snack. Odwalla Banana Nut bar and a Luna Lemon Zest bar. Both of these were very good and came in handy as a great mid-morning and afternoon snack. I really enjoyed my box and will be participating again. I think you should too!!
Below is more information about how to join:
-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 Penpals 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.
