Do you love getting packages on your doorstep as much as I do? Definitely one of my favorite things!
Each month I participate in The Lean Green Bean’s Foodie Pen Pal link up. What does that mean? It means I get a package full of local goodies and favorites from someone else in the United States and I get to ship someone my favorite Utah foods. It’s been a fun adventure for the children and I searching out the best Utah foods for my packages. From Logan to Utah County, I’ve found some goodies!
My yummy box was put together by Arianna McNally this month. It included:
GoGo SqueeZ Apple/Strawberry – my children adore these and they were so excited to find a box in our package this month! They are the perfect on the go health food for my little ones. It’s something even my picky toddler will eat!
Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownie Mix, Double Chocolate – I didn’t even get a chance to take the picture before my husband had already made these. If it says Ghiradelli – it goes fast in our house.
Fruit Tea Sampler
This cute kitten especially loved the Ghiradelli brownies. Arianna also sent a delicious-sounding recipe for mango salsa that I can’t wait to try!
Want to join in on the fun … here are the 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 & 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 in participating for November, please CLICK HERE to fill out the participation form and read the terms and conditions.
You must submit your information by February 4th as pairings will be emailed on February 5th!
Join in on the fun!
