July Foodie Penpal

by Destini on July 31, 2012

It’s that time again, Foodie Penpal!! I have now been part of this for several months and each time I get super excited when my parcel arrives. This time was no exception, I was very fortunate to receive my foodie penpal package from Jordan at Kitchen Karate. Check him out!

I had seen those Veggie straws, never realized how yummy they were!

Now check out these adorable little measuring spoons out?!?!  Not only does Jordan have a food blog….but he also has an adorable store that sells cute kitchen things like this! Check out I’m With Cupcake!

Thank you again Jordan for  your wonderful items 🙂

My Foodie Penal was Devon, Devon doesn’t have a blog, but wanted me to include a writeup and photo of what I sent her 🙂

________________

I’m a big fan of great food items and Destini included a few of her
Manitoba favourites, (along with a beautiful handwritten note) some of
which are:

A blueberry jam that she describes as “perfectly sweet”.  I look forward to
tomorrow morning’s breakfast!  Destini also included a favourite honey of
hers, an unpasteurized clover honey.  In addition to the honey she also
included a chocolate and lemon honey.  I have never tried chocolate honey
before but as an avid chocolate lover I am quite intrigued!  My package
also included a KIND peanut butter and dark chocolate bar.  I’m snacking on
it as I write this summary and it’s delicious!  I look forward to the two
tea selections that Destini inlcuded;  an organic Tulsi sweet rose tea, as
well as a Detox tea made with Dandelion.  (The honey will be a nice
accompaniment with the tea).

This is my first foodie pen pal exchange and I am very pleased with
Destini’s selection of lovely food items she chose to send me.

Red Cabbage Slaw

July 23, 2012

Is it just me? No matter how much sleep you get, how calm or even how busy work is, when you come home on Monday’s you are zonked? That is me today, and I am thanking smart Destini yesterday for prepping and getting my dinner ready last night. Tonight we had Epicures Pulled Pork recipe, but I use chicken instead of the suggested pork. Got that ready in the slow cooker and then went right into this colourful light red cabbage slaw! Due to everything I stated above, this post will be short, sweet and right to the point! This will be great for any potluck or BBQ. Ingredients: Yields: 12 […]
