Foodie Pen Pals Reveal Day August

08/30 by Leigha 15 Comments

Shopping and Baseball and Car Rides, Oh My!
WIAW - A Day at the Market

Last month I participated in the amazing program called Foodie Pen Pals! If you haven’t participated yet, go on over and register. Seriously. It’s so much fun! Lindsay does such a great job!

I received my package from Mickie, who doesn’t have a blog. She is from Idaho, where my cousins live! In my package…

Huckleberry Brownie Mix. Um yes please. So excited to make them.

Wild Huckleberry Apple Jelly. Delish on toast.

And last butΒ not least…

Butter ToffeeΒ almonds. Immediately torn open when I got the package. So. Yummy.

I could not have asked for a better pen pal this month. Mickie was amazing! Thanks again, girl!

    My FPP was from Idaho, too and I got that Homemade by Dorothy Huckleberry Jam as well. I saw your photo and thought, what are the odds?! πŸ˜‰ Glad you are enjoying your package.
