Goya yes please!!!

Bzzagent gave me the opportunity to test some Goya products for free!! I was familiar with the Goya brand prior to receiving  my Bzzkit but the only product I had ever used was Goya kidney beans. The kit came with three items; 1 box of Goya rice, 1 can of Goya Low Sodium Black Beans, and 1 bottle of Goya Adobo Seasoning.  The kit also contained coupons to share for a variety of Goya products. I was excited to try each of the products. I used the seasoning first on some chicken strips I was baking. It tasted great. The seasoning offers a great blend of seasoning without having to take out a bunch of individual spices. I have become addicted to the Adobo seasoning, I use it on everything. A bunch of my family members also use Adobo seasoning often I just never knew. One of them should have let me in on this little secret a while ago!!

I decided that I would make rice and beans with my families favorite Mexican food empanadas. I made the rice according to the package and it came out great. I sautéed it with red and orange peppers, onions, and minced garlic. I drained the beans and added them to the rice. I used a little Adobo seasoning and heated thoroughly. I used the Adobo to season the beef for the empanadas too. The rice and beans came out great. My kids can be picky eater but they ate it no problem (my son did pick all the onions and peppers out of the rice). The empanadas tasted better than usual with the Adobo seasoning. Goya has become a regular brand in our household now!! 

I have made this rice and beans dish for family members as well and everyone just loves it!!

Meatless choices from MorningStar Farms

Growing up, my mom was a vegetarian so I never really ate a lot of meat. I eat meat now but red meat is not a favorite of mine. Bzz Agent chose me to try a Morningstar Farms Products as part of a newBzz campaign. I was so excited to get the opportunity. The Bzz kit was great when it arrived not did it have the free coupon but it had some dollar off coupons to share. There were so many choices to pick from when I got to the grocery store. I decided to get the veggie burgers and the MorningStar Farms Grillers Recipe Crumbles. I was going to try the burgers and use the crumbles for a family dinner. The crumbles were a meatless ground beef type product. 

I tasted tasted the burgers the day for lunch. I absolutely loved them. It had a great taste and with a tomato slice and some ketchup made a tasty lunch. I have actually started buying them every time I grocery shop. 

A few days later I made the family tacos using the recipe crumbles. My kids get so excited for tacos. Everyone sat down and dug in. My son was the first to comment. He thought it tasted weird and my fiancé knew right away it wasn't beef. My daughter did not mind and ate them. I thought it tasted fine. Everyone ate but my son who is usually a big eater only ate a little. So meatless may not be for my family but I love it! I have tried so many different types of veggie burgers because of this Bzz campaign. They are good for me and taste great!!
