My foodie penpal for this month was Rebecca over at Really Nice Food. And guess what, she sent me some really nice food! Through our emails, I was intrigued as to what I was going to receive, as I said I like spicy food, and she asked me if I like really spicy food… When my parcel arrived it was a huge box, so I was even more intrigued! I guessed there was a few breakable items as everything in there was well packed. I was excited to see Asian and Caribbean products in there, it’s the type of food I just …

#foodiepenpals – April reveal
This month my penpal was the lovely fellow baking addict Rachel over at Jaques, it rhymes with cakes (I love the blog name!). I was delighted to open my parcel, once again filled with baking goodies! There were a couple of savoury bits in there too but will go into a little more detail further down. First thing I noticed were some recipe sheets, all sweet things! One of these was for marshmallow cupcakes from the Hummingbird Bakery Book – now I thought I had this one, but I don’t – it’s Cake Days which I have, so no wonder I didn’t remember coming …
#foodiepenpals – March reveal
Firstly, I must apologise for being late with this post. Little man has an ear infection, and has been clingy & grumpy, and I just totally forgot… Oops. Anyway, my penpal who sent my parcel this month was the lovely Kerys from Little Bo Blab (definitely checkout her blog, it’s fab, even on the first look!). Big smiles straight away when I opened up my package as it arrived in this gorgeous box: It was all a bit like a Russian doll as I had the outer layer, then the box, then my little note in an envelope, and then tissue paper …
#foodiepenpals – February reveal
This month I was paired with the lovely Jessi from Doctorate Housewife, who revealed that she resides in Brussels, Belgium, so I was looking forward to some yummy Belgian treats! Well my wishes came true: Crisps! I love crisps. These are a new pesto & mozzarella flavour, I haven’t got around to trying them yet but I think I’m going to tonight. The crackers I’m going to try some sprinkled over a potato & bacon casserole like Jessi suggested, and then the rest I will snack on! I had the hazelnut bar of chocolate last night – yum! I’m looking forward …
#foodiepenpals – January reveal
This month I was paired with Anne over at Random Things Through My Letterbox. I had a little chuckle to myself when I saw her location, as we live rather close, in towns next to each other, and were paired randomly! How odd! Anyhow, I received my lovely package, and was rather excited to see it full of goodies. I had some fondant icing in there, which will come in handy for little man’s birthday cupcakes! The Mr Tom peanut bars, I haven’t those for ages and had forgotten how yummy they were. I’ve demolished one so far. The apple, blueberry, plum …
