Foodie Pen Pal!

I am a foodie pen pal.


So, this month I got a box from Debbi.







From L to R: Spaghetti Squash, Pepper Jam, Chocolate Zucchini Bread, and the front guy is a pretzel roll her kids insisted she send. :-) She also sent some fantastic recipes that I can't wait to try.

We loved everything in this box. I had never had spaghetti squash or pepper jam! My mom and I shared the squash for lunch, and it was super easy to cook- and yummy to eat! Pepper jam was also new to me, but was great on some crackers with cream cheese.

SOME DETAILS: 

-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.



So, if you'd like to get involved, follow this guy down here.
