April Foodie Penpal!

April 30, 2013 by Mary

Yo. 

Remember that schedule for this week? I’m sticking to it. Tonight was Zumba. It was amazing.

Post zumba workout

Post zumba happies are the best. :)

This month I decided to participate in Foodie Penpals and today is the reveal. I have to say, this month it was a treat to get a box of goodies! 

The penpal who sent me the box of awesome food was April from East, TN. She sent along a wonderful list explaining all the ingredients in the box – I should totally do this myself next time!

foodie penpal letter

Let’s look at what I got, right? I’ll start with what I’ve already eaten…

foodie penpal chocolate

Lindt hazelnut chocolate candies! OMG, so good. Unfortunately these melted a bit while sitting on my porch, but they were still amazing.

foodie penpal granola

KIND dark chocolate & cranberry clusters. This is amazing! I took it to work so I wouldn’t eat it all at once. I completely love this stuff. I really might buy some more because it’s so good.

foodie penpal granola bites

Granola Naturals Granola Bites. These suckers are TASTY. It was a chocolatey, peanut butter, granola mix that gave me some energy and satisfied my sweet tooth at the same time.

foodie penpal clif bar

Blueberry Crisp Clif Bar. Clif Bars are always a winner. This gave me a good snack. 

foodie penpal simmer sauce

Jalfrezi Simmer Sauce. I haven’t tried this yet since I haven’t been cooking much, but this is going to be exciting to try. Bell peppers + coconut sauce? My favorites.

foodie penpal crackers

Suzie’s Thin Cakes. I haven’t tried these either but I want to try them just like April mentioned – with a wedge of laughing cow cheese! Yummm. 

Overall it was a really exciting box of food to receive. She did a great job based on what I like to eat and things I would enjoy trying.

If you haven’t participated in Foodie Penpals before I highly recommend it. It’s a fun way to try new things and it’s super fun to pick out foods for other people. Maybe we will even be penpals! Enjoy!

    Just wanted to know that these things are really helpful in your weight loss plans as it looks like made up of high calories.

    This is pretty cool. I obsess over the KIND products! They are quite expensive here so we have to go easy on how quickly we consume them haha.

    Having a foodie penpal is a brilliant idea. This is really exciting especially that you’ll be surprised of the new stuff that you’ll discover and get to taste every time. I want to try this and those granola bites are my favorite! You are so lucky!

    Zumba classes are great, such a fun way to keep fit and meet people. Love the foodie pen pals idea, sounds like an interesting technique to lose weight and also find new recipes.
