Foodie Pen Pals - July 2012

It's that time again!  I had so much fun this month picking out and making stuff for Foodie Pen Pals.  For those of you who don't know, Foodie Pen Pals is a really cool program that pairs people up to exchange homemade, local, and unique goodies.


For July, I sent a package to a really cool guy in Chicago.  He requested nothing with chocolate or coconut, so I switched chocolate chip cookies with oatmeal scotchies, as both are favorites in my house. I also made peach muffins with a buttercream almond filling.  The muffins started out as cupcakes, but I was sort of making up the recipe as I went along, and they turned out more muffin-y than cake-y.  I also sent some Amish popcorn seasoning, honey from Hunter's Honey Farm, and some of my mom's amazing triple berry jam.


I got food this month from a lovely lady in Ohio.  She sent a bunch of really cool healthy local foods that I can't wait to try!  Two jars of jam, a vegan snack bar, mixed dried fruits, and a big container of Amish-style granola.  Yum!

I can't wait to do this again next month! As always, you can find all the information for Foodie Pen Pals at www.theleangreenbean.com.

Always,
