Eva eats Paleo, which I knew a little about but not much. After some research, I found out that the Paleolithic diet cuts out grains, dairy, and refined sugar, among other groups. I focuses on fish, grass-fed or wild game meats, fruits, vegetables, eggs, and nuts. Basically, people on the Paleo diet eat as hunter-gatherers would have. I found a recipe for Paleo chocolate chip cookies at Paleo Plan that was very good, and I tried to pick some of my favorite things that qualify as Paleo for the box.

I got some amazing stuff from Michelle - I loved this box! Also, she happened to be driving through Indy on her way up north, so I got my package HAND-DELIVERED!!! How cool is that?
Michelle brought me Nana Pat's "Citrus Cardamom" jam and "Cottonmouth Fruity" mustard from Oak Hollow Cottage, some goodie from Trader Joe's (eggplant garlic spread and two enormous chocolate bars), and home-made (my favorite!) bourbon bacon brownies. (Try saying that five times fast!)

This was a really, really great month for Foodie Pen Pals. I learned something totally new and got some awesome, delicious treats! And I actually got to meet one of my FPPs. As always, if you're interested in joining Foodie Pen Pals, go to Lindsay's blog The Lean Green Bean.
Always,
