June Foodie Pen Pal Reveal

It's Foodie Pen Pal Reveal Day! 
fpplogo Foodie Penpals
Foodie Pen Pals is hosted every month by Lindsay from the  Lean Green Been.
This was my first time participating and it was really a lot of fun :) 
Jane from Jane's Adventures in Dinner sent me this really sweet package:
 

Included is a bag of real Italian pasta, a bottle of black truffle oil, and a great pasta
cookbook that includes lots of pictures :) I don't know about you but if there is no picture
next to a recipe I am not making it! Not that my cooking ever looks anything like the
picture in the book ;) There are quite a few recipes I'll be attempting sometime soon like these:
 

I was paired with Chelsey at Powerhouse Fit Foodie if you want to see what I sent!
If you're interested in participating next month, click here to sign up!
Here's some info on how it all works:
-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 residents.  Please note,
Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. 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.
Thank you Lindsay for hosting :)
