I had seen Goya in my grocery stores but had never really thought about trying it. I was interested when I saw a campaign on Sverve featuring Goya and thought it would be the perfect time to expand my horizon and try it. They sent me a lovely package with Quinoa, Olive Oil, a cookbook, Adobo seasoning, and some coupons. I felt like I had won the Goya lottery!
I already admitted I hadn’t tried Goya but another thing I had never tried was Quinoa. But here was a chance to try it at last and see what the hype was all about and check out a new brand. I really love being a blogger.
I actually prepared the Quinoa with my favorite chicken recipe, and I will admit I liked it. I rinsed it really good before cooking it. I thought how it opened up and had the little squiggles in it was neat. I can’t help it, little things like that capture my interest. Yes, I am also enamored with all things shiny, glittery, and pink. That is just how I roll.
I was also super impressed with Goya too. The Adobo seasoning is now a new family favorite and I find myself using it on just about everything I can think of. I am really, really picky about my Olive Oil. I can’t count how many times I have heard friends say ” Oh, I get mine from the Dollar Tree.” I am not knocking the Dollar Tree or anyone that purchases from there, because I shop there all the time. But when it comes to olive oil, that can give me heart failure. So I was a little hesitant about using the olive oil but I am pleased to say it tasted great with a rich, deep flavor. It didn’t smoke at a high heat and really brought the flavor out of a couple of the dishes I tried it in. Even my Mom was super impressed and she doesn’t really like olive oil. ( That gives me heart failure too.)
I would definitely say I really like Goya and I think you will too. You can get some coupons HERE to check them out and save money. Also, don’t forget to check them out on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest
