Hi Friends!
It’s time for another Foodie Penpals Reveal Day!
This month I was lucky enough to receive my box from one of my favorite bloggers- Melissa at Live Love and Run. She’s the absolute best and she definitely spoiled me! Look what I got:
The box was jam packed with all sorts of deliciousness. Let’s recap:
- Apple Butter
- A new tea I’ve never tried!
- Old Bay- one of my all-time fav seasonings
- Sweet & Spicy Peanuts- OMG SO GOOD!!
- Seasoned Flour- I can’t to use it to make some panko crusted fish!
- A beautiful card
- 2 jars of homemade nut butter- hands down best part of the package- Cinnamon Vanilla Bean and “Nutella Swirl”. AMAZING!
Thank you so much Melissa…I loved everything!!
As an added bonus, her hubby was a box packing rockstar. THIS is how you should be packing all your boxes to make sure stuff doesn’t break. Use plastic bags or newspaper or bubble wrap to make sure glass jars are well insulated:
My box had 3 glass jars in it and all arrived intact!

In case you’re a new reader, here’s a reminder of what the program is all about:
- 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.
- Foodie Penplas is open to US, Canadian & European residents. Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. Same with Europeans.

Oh my gosh, how awesome about the nut butters! That would be my favorite too;) How can it not be.
Especially when they’re homemade.
And I also love tea, so that’s always a winner:)
Great package!
Iced passion tea… yum! That sounds great, especially during these hot summer days.
That is THE most brilliant/simple way to pack boxes! I can’t believe I never thought of it!
I mal cookies all of the time and get so frustrated having to go out and buy bubble wrap, which, doesn’t work that well anyways. Plastic bags are the perfect solution!
This was fun! I’m a first timer & I loved my box and had fun sending mine as well. He did a dynamic job of packing that! Thx for hosting. I’ll join again.
homemade nut butter?! now THAT’S awesome!!!
Mmmmmmm……..that homemade nut butter looks delicious! I’d destroy that with just a spoon!
Sweet and spicy, one of my favorite combinations – those peanuts look amazing! Thanks for creating such a fun program. It was my first month participating and I got paired with such a great pen pal who was so thoughtful and creative!
Great round-up! Love the idea of penpals!!! I just wish I had time… 🙁
Im glad to see I’m not the only one who uses plastic shopping bags to pack things!
I’m so glad you liked everything!! I had a blast making the nut butter…H has destroyed every jar I’ve made him in less than two days. lol I brought a large jar of some of the swirl with me to DC to visit my sister…gone over the weekend. Makes me happy. 🙂 Let me know what you think of the flour! It’s seasoned perfectly, I tell ya! <3
So glad I got you this time! 😀
i have never done this but sounds pretty fun 🙂
Homemade nut butters sound amazing! As does the Tazo tea…one of my favorites.
LOADS of foodie pen pals listed–that’s great!
Looks like you got some amazing things there! I so wish there were enough Australian bloggers to be able to participate in this. Maybe one day 🙂
Hello, I cant see the link to post what I got from my Foodie Pen Pal. I don’t have a blog.
Thanks 🙂
Home made nut butters? I am in awe!
Can’t wait to be involved with this next month.
