Last Month, I remember seeing a post over at the Spiffy Cookie about Foodie Pen Pals and the neat stuff that she got in the mail from another foodie. After more reading, I found out that there is a great Foodie Pen Pal program run by Lindsay at the Lean Green Bean.
For April, I got sent stuff from Mary who is from Portland, OR. She also picked out the BEST stuff for me! I miss Trader Joe's so much and can't wait for one to open near me soon! Mary (and her boys!- she has two boys as well!) sent out some Lemon Tea Loaf, Lemon Heart Cookies, Vanilla Meringues, Cocoa Almond Spread, and some homemade organic raspberry preserves. I actually used the preserves the very next day when I made shortbread. Everything that Mary sent quickly disappeared and we loved everything!
I sent items to Jackie. (I totally forgot to take pictures!) I mailed Jackie some Wickles Pickles, some BBQ rubs, and Moon Pies. Moon Pies are actually a local food for me!
I'm so happy to have joined Foodie Pen Pals and if you are interested please be sure to contact Lindsay!
