Foodie Penpal Receivee (is that a word?)

August 4, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!

While you are reading this I am either heading off to or hanging out in small-town Nebraska for a bridal shower and bachelorette party.  Yes, be jealous. 😉

I got this from my Foodie Penpal, whom I sent a package to and doesn’t have a blog.  (Did you know that you could still participate if you didn’t have a blog?  You can!)

Since Julie doesn’t have a blog to share with everyone her loot (if I do say so myself), she sent me a post to put up on my blog:

Thank you so much to Amanda from Diary of a Semi-Health Nut (sounds just like me, ha!) for my foodie penpal package this month, all the way from Nebraska!
Amanda was very patient with my tardiness in responding to her questions about my likes and dislikes and sending her this blog post. I told her that I am happy to try anything new, so to please surprise me, and she definitely managed to send me a couple of things I’ve never tried before. First up:
Beanitos! I had seen this in the store before, and was definitely attracted to the high fiber content, but this was a great opportunity to finally try them. They were great—super crunchy and salty, just how I like my chips. And perfect with the spinach dip!
She also sent me some of her favorite snack/protein bars.
I am already obsessed with Luna Bars (I always eat one as my mid-afternoon snack) but I had never tried Simply Bars—they were surprisingly good! I usually go for chocolate-y snack bars, but I really liked these, especially the cinnamon pecan one. Amanda also sent me some green tea that I can’t wait to use as iced tea! Thanks again Amanda!

—————————-

Such a sweet gal!

I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend!
