September Foodie Pen Pals Reveal

This was my second time partaking in the amazing Foodie Pen Pals and boy, did I get lucky again! The amazing Greta of The Best Reuben sent me delectable goodies. Check it, kids.

What She Gave Me:

* Okra Chips- on behalf of my extreme love of Southern food.

* A Delectable Chocolate Bar!

* Trail Mix- with GOJI! Yumtastic!

* And my favoritest part: Every variety of gummy she could find, Swedish fish included! Because she is amazing. And I'm STILL working on tackling this bag. Holy cannoli- so good!

Another successful month! Thank you, Greta for making my tastebuds happy! You are truly awesome!

Now, go check her blog! :)

My First Foodie Pen Pals! August Edition

I have been so, so excited to share this and could barely wait until now to do so! This was my first foray into the land of Foodie Pen Pals and I was so very fortunate to receive the darling Kimberly as my amazing and wonderful pal. She sent me the most delicious, delectable, tasty, decadent (other synonyms for yumtastic) goodies from her Virginia town and I couldn't have been more tickled pink.

You guys, look how excited the cat was (He actually looks really threatening in this picture... he was truly just yawning...). So, thank you to the lovely and delightful Kimberly for going to the trouble to hit up the local farmer's market for and make this such a fun experience!

Among the goodies?

1. Butter Toasted Peanuts: Oh. Mah. Gawd. Get up in my mouth. I think Timothy and I inhaled these in a minute.

2. Salted VA Peanuts: A classic delight.

3. Gummy Bears: Because I am a gummy fiend. And these were perfectly plump and sweet for my sad addiction.

4. Virginia Apple Butter: How did she know my affinity for this stuff?! This. Is. Amazing. And perfect for the fast approaching Fall.

5. Butter Brown Snickerdoodles: The grand finale! These were AMAZING. Holy bee-joe-lee. We even shared these with friends and bragged about Kim's brilliance. If you want to taste all of the greatness we did, she adapted the recipe from the Ambitious Kitchen.

Thank you so much again, Kimberly and Lindsay from the Lean Green Bean for this brilliant exchange. Can't wait to do it again! :)
