Foodie Pen Pal – November 2013

This month I was paired up with Anne from Pennsylvania.  She and I had similar likes in foods so that was a help when buying her goodies.

When I got her box, I was delighted.  There were a lot of yummy treats in the box.  One of the items I am extremely excited about is the Pennsylvania Dutch apple butter.  If I just hadn’t opened up a jar of pumpkin butter, I would have opened that jar up right away.  I was born in the Pennsylvania Dutch area so it is nice to have a treat from where I was born.

All the goodies were from her area which was nice because I like to try local foods when I’m visiting other places.

Chocolate leaves and turkeys

I’ve tried the smothered graham cracker. Delicious!

I’ve tried the apple quinoa crunch. Had to get used to the lentils but it was good.

Yum!!!!!!!

I have to keep this away from the Imaginative One. He loves chocolate covered pretzels. I had the one on the right. It was delicious.

A little snack container – I’m thinking this would be perfect for Disney. I could put some trail mix in it..

Granola – This is delicious.

I’ve actually driven past the factory when I went to that area in 2001.

Almond Fig Bar

Honey!!!! I was looking at local honey that morning. This is my little bear.

Her handwritten note

Spice blend – Tuscan picnic – Smells delightful and tastes great. (I used in our tomato soup the other night.)

Thanks Anne for a great box.
