{Foodie Penpals #2} Family Recipe

July 1, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!

Well I am late to the Foodie Penpals party (there are already 281 posts linked up on this month’s Foodie Penpals reveal post), but that’s okay right?

It’s been a busy weekend hangin out with the BF, going to an outdoor 4th of July concert, working at the farmer’s market (so. flippin. hot.), church and seeing a friend for a going away party.


Not I have a few minutes to share with you the lovely package my Foodie Penpal Samantha over at SuperHappyFunTimesPartyBlog.  I want to be friends with her in real life.

She sent me a recipe along with most of the ingredients for something I cannot pronounce, nor have I ever heard of.  Exciting right??

It’s called M’judiah and it is a Lebanese dish that her grandfather taught her to make.  I just received the last ingredient a couple of days ago, but you can bet I will be making it soon!

It’s funny because she forgot one of the ingredients, then labeled the package wrong, so she sent a funny note in the package.

Guy: “Man I thought that package would never get delivered!”
Girl: “Hahaha, oh you!”

She also sent some clif bars.  How did she know that I am just now falling in love with clif bars??

Overall this month was a great experience!  (Check out what I sent Simone at Hot Yoga Mom this month.)

Thanks so much to Lindsay over at The Lean Green Bean for setting up this awesome Foodie Penpal program!

Have a great evening all!  I am off to see Men in Black III. 🙂

P.S.  Get excited for a Chobani giveaway very soon!!

What’s your favorite food bar?

Have you heard of M’judah before?  Or any other Lebanese dish?
