Foodie PenPals Love

This month I participated in a great program called Foodie Penpal. Foodie Penpal was started by Lindsay with the blog site “The Lean Green Bean”. The program works like this:

-On the 5th of the 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 can choose 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.

This month my Foodie Penpal was Carmie with “The Single Nester” . I was so excited to receive my package from Carmie and I was excited about the treats that were accompanied by a sweet note and a recipe. Check out what I got below:

What I enjoy most about Foodie Penpal is the love that is exchanged amongst strangers. It’s so funny how even in imple things like Food Penpal, the love of God is demonstrated. Sharing your story and interest with others is essential to fulfillment. Food Penpal is 7 Degrees North. Thank you Lindsay for the opportunity to participate and thank you Carmie for my wonderful box of goodies!

With Love,
