Foodies Unite!

Ok, so the other day I was telling you that I recently participated in two swaps and showed you the lovely necklace I received in one. Well, today I’m gonna tell you all about the second one and guess what? You can participate too!

Sometime ago I came across the blog The Lean Green Bean and found the Foodie PenPal Program. Now you may have noticed that I devote much of my blog to restaurants, bakeries, and such. So of course I immediately signed up. Soon I was given the name of someone I was to send a box of food products (bought or homemade) totaling $15. A different person was then given my name so they could send me a box of good stuff.

The lovely Allison was given my name and immediately asked me what I wanted. Well since she’s from New York I told her I would love to try any New York products. And boy did she deliver! Check it out.
See the tags? Those are descriptions she wrote for each and every product. So nice. Here’s what she sent:
– Chokoboy Cakes – an italian dessert cake.
They didn’t last long. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

– Bagel Chips made in Brooklyn! I’m loving these for breakfast with a little jam. Speaking of jam…

– Strawberry Jam, her favorite. My favorite too.

– Manhattan Special – espresso coffee soda. Kind of wacky but good!

– Taralli. Allison mentioned that she loved dipping them in strawberry jam but she also mentioned they can be dipped in Nutella. She didn’t need to tell me that twice!

SOOOOOO good. Seriously. I LOVED these.

I loved being part of the Foodie PenPal Program. It was so fun receiving a surprise box of goodies. And the best part is, anyone can take part. You don’t need to be a blogger. Isn’t that awesome?

So, sign up here if you’re interested. And why wouldn’t you be?
