This is what was in my box of glorious goodies! My foodie pen pal was the BEST!! Her name was Melissa and she was right when she said "Big Love comes in small packages!" I told her "It's like she knew me!!"
I Heart Justin's almond butter packets. They are all different flavors and these are puurfect to accompany an apple. Mostly because I tend to eat WAY too much peanut butter when scooping out of the jar. I also love the Justin's organic peanut butter cups. I received a bag of Brickle. Ooooooh, it's a good thing I ate this Before starting my no sugar challenge this month because it was hard to put down! But it is gone now so I have nothing to worry about! I also received a bag of mixed nuts and chocolate covered sour cherries. I don't know how she knew I loved cherries because I forgot to mention that in the email, but she was right on!! Thanks Melissa!!
This is the third time I have participated in the foodie pen pal and I just Love it. It's like Christmas every month :) If you think you might be interested check out the details below!
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 participating for
May, pleaseCLICK HERE to fill out the
participation form and read the terms and conditions.
You must submit your
information by April 4th as pairings will be emailed on
April 5th!

I am starting a 30 day no sugar/junk food/fast food challenge. I'd like you to join me. Throw out all that easter candy or hide it in the freezer behind the frozen veggies.
So when I say no sugar, I mean no sugar or sugar IN products. Read your labels friends. No more drive thru and no more junk food (c'mon you know what junk food is). Good luck and I will be checking in with you!
In light and love,
j
