August #FoodiePenPals

It’s time for another #foodiepenpals reveal day!

I started participating in the #foodiepenpals program back in May and look forward to it every month. Food delivered to your doorstep from another passionate foodie every month… What’s not to love? The program has introduced me to some amazing foodies/bloggers and an array of delicious food from across the U.S.

This month, I was paired up with an amazing foodie and blogger, Jaren from Kiwi Fit. Jaren and I have a ton in common. She’s on a journey to stay fit. I’m on a journey to stay fit. She’s from Texas. I LOVE Texas. She owns a Camaro, which she named Daisy (I, too, name inanimate objects.) I used to own a Camaro, and I will some day own another Camaro, preferably a ’69. She loves kitties. I love kitties. Anyway, you get it. We have a ton in common.

Jaren sent me the most thoughtful foodie package this month and, even though we have never met, the girl knows my heart. She sent me a mexican themed foodie package, full of salsas and pepper jelly. God, I love her! And, if that wasn’t enough, she included me some fuel-for-your-run food. Like protein bars and almond butter.

I struggled not to eat everything in the box after I opened it. I don’t know about you, but I get super excited when I receive my foodie packages. I just want to dig right in and try everything; however, that’s a no no. Pictures must be taken first, so one must wait.

Hands down, this salsa verde was my favorite thing in the box, and it is the best jarred salsa verde I have ever had. I literally busted open the jar the day after I received the box and ate it with my quesadillas. Yum!

And, if all of this wasn’t enough, Jaren included copies of her favorite recipes to use with the products she sent me. How nice is she?

Thank you so much, Jaren. I absolutely loved my foodie package.
