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!!
