This month I had the pleasure of receiving a package from Mandi. Mandi lives in Pittsburgh and works for Harry & David. When she first told me this, I was hopeful to receive any Harry & David products and Mandi definitely didn’t disappoint me! 

 

I’m notorious for losing memory cards and I had much better pictures of the below. I had to scurry around late last night to take new ones. Mandi included a few of her favorites, the Harry & David tortilla chips (amazing, could not stop shoving this into my mouth) and the Trader Joe’s vacuum fried pineapple. She wrote that she loved the pineapple and I was a little a skeptical. I was pleasantly surprised! I loved it and the bag is almost gone. I liked it so much I decided to make it the feature image. 

 

I love the Cranberry Maple Nut granola. It is gluten-free but has some type of crunchy cracker in the mix. I love the texture and have inhaled a lot of this already. I have yet to try the Harry & David Pomegranate tea, but I drink tea all day long to keep me warm and to curb my appetite, so I can’t wait to try it. 

 

Sadly, a few Larabars were harmed in this process. Larabars don’t last long around me. Mandi sent 2, R.I.P. Peanut Butter Cookie and Apple Pie. She even sent a potholder and dish towel, adorb. 

 

Thanks to Mandi I have a few new favorite foods… you rock, Mandi! You can read more about the Foodie Pen Pal program below and follow the link to sign up… and if you ask me, I think you should sign up.
