Foodie pen pals has become one of my favorite monthly topics (so if you are tired of them..well it’s once a month-stop that and come back tomorrow). With that being said, this package was def awesome and Amy even was able to take into account that I am eating a high protein diet and have a couple of medical problems (is she not the bomb?!).
Because I like to give rhetorical questions in my blogs, I’ll answer and say-no duh.
Right then.
First she sent me sugar free chocolate covered nuts. I tried one of them and then decided I wanted to eat all of them. Literally within 30 minutes of opening the box they were all gone. They were really good!
After devouring the nuts, I decided to hold off on the cookies for some time later in the week. These were a perfect work snack for me. Work has been really busy and stressful and having cookies at work…well it makes it a little better.
Next up was the mustard. I have never been a mustard fan but decided to try it anyways. It was so weird-because I really enjoyed it. I added it to some chicken we were having that night and it didn’t disappoint. My parents were shocked that I eating it, and then my mom decided she wanted some too (to which she fully enjoyed it).
Hiding back there is the edamame, which is one of my favorite work snacks. I buy this on the regular so it was nice not having too LOL. I also ate it at work.
The steel cut oats I used to make pumpkin oatmeal. I haven’t had pumpkin oatmeal in ages and this was the perfect occasion. Quite delicious per usual.
With sprinkles. duh. 15 extra calories of worth. Well probably like 45 because I just kinda dump a bunch in.
Then last (but not least), I’ve been sipping on the herb tea all week. My mom is a big tea drinker and absolutely loves this stuff as well. Me personally, I like coffee but tea is good every once in a while. This tea is certainly at the top of my list though so I’ll be taking it back to college.
In general, another awesome box! If you want to go participate in foodie pen pals-go right over to the lovely Lindsay’s blog.
Question for you:
- 1. Tea or coffee? (iced/hot)?
- 2. Have you ever participated in Foodie Pen Pals?
What a great box, I have never tried those sugar free cookies but they look good. Sprinkles makes anything taste amazing… just me?
No for sure. Without sprinkles…I cease to exist. Overdramatic?
I don’t like tea but I love coffee, hot or iced
. Or frappes, those are awesome too. It looks like you got some great stuff in your pen pal box and I love how you put sprinkles in the oatmeal!
Hot Tea all the way
mmmm Or Iced Coffee 
yaaaaaaa
I love reading these posts! So fun..and good ideas. I eat and love everything she sent you…especially that mustard! I heart condiments. In terms of coffee vs tea: I love my coffee. And I drink it black! Tea is nice at night sometimes, but I really much prefer coffee. I have never participated in foodie penpals as I am new to blogging, but this looks fun
You should def look into it…It’s huge. 1000+ people!
Definitely coffee but I do love me some kombucha tea. The foodie pen pals is a cute idea! You received some sweet stuff!
Great stuff! This is my favorite monthly topics too!
oooh why have I never put sprinkles on my oatmeal?! why?!?!
Coffee coffee coffee.
Coffee all the way for me – iced or hot depending on the weather. I love blended iced coffee protein shakes when it’s humid. I’m not really a tea person at all, although I wish I could make myself like unsweetened herbal tea (it takes like pond water to me…)
I did a few UK foodie penpal swaps but after a while I couldn’t afford the postage – perhaps it was me being an idiot and sending heavy stuff but it was so expensive!
xxx
Oatmeal topped with sprinkles is classic
Sounds like you got great pen pal swag.
Love coffee – hot or iced, I’ll drink it!
Definitely tea, and I haven’t participated in Foodie Pen Pals – but I’m the exact same way with chocolate covered nuts. Or…chocolate
what a great idea!! i might have to head over there to check itout!
Completely unrelated sprinkles moment.. One day I was in the froyo line surrounded by a high school girl’s soccer team, and one girl goes, “Yeah, sprinkles have like no calories” and I catch out of the corner of my eye the girl dumping literally 5 scoops of sprinkles on her 1/4 cup of froyo. I think my jaw literally dropped open.
BAHAHAHA. I would have peed my pants laughing.
YUMMMM looks amazing.
1. Sprinkles don’t have calories. It’s a myth.
2. Ice Coffee (dunks only)
3. I applied for foodie pen pals then chickened out! I feel like I couldn’t creative enough this month! I need some planning time! I don’t want to send a lame package
coffee…iced!
nom nom nom so many good things! love the sprinkles in the pumpkin oatmeal, I’m glad I’m not the only one who uses sprinkles at breakfast (in my cereal sometimes hah). As for drinks ummm I like them all at different times of day haha. i’d go for coffee over tea though!
Oooh you got a nice package! I love tea as long as it’s black. I love dry roasted edamame too! I was surprised at the amount of protein. I add it to trail mix!
Aw wow what a great package! If you ever fancy a uk swap let me know as you guys have the best food! Justin’s pb! Mmmm
I am a coffee drinker but lately I also tried tea and I am loving chai and vanilla!
Hey I would love too! Pop me an email at lolzthatswim@gmail.com!
No tea for me!! But dry roasted edamame sounds awesome! Actually all of your eats sound pretty yummy
Oooooh. Tea has gotta be cold for me. And then coffee, hot. Then again, I like them all!
I’m such a coffee person. Iced all the way. Oh yeah.
Iced Coffee is my favorite drink. And I finally signed up for Foodie Pen Pals after I read your post yesterday! I am excited!
I am also going to buy those dry roasted edamame. Sounds amazing
