Black Bean & Sweet Sriracha Marinated Butternut Squash Quesadillas - GOYA Foods review & GIVEAWAY!

Do you do anything special for Cinco de Mayo? We started celebrating early here with quesadillas and mango margaritas last night!

GOYA Foods sent me their Healthy, Tasty, Affordable Latin Cooking cookbook, a can of their low sodium black beans, and a bottle of their extra virgin olive oil, and told me to recreate their black bean quesadilla recipe with my own twist.

Their original recipe (which can be found here) was a quick and easy meal that called for Pico de Gallo and cilantro to be mixed with the beans, then fried between 2 tortillas with cheese.

But like a weirdo, I don't like the pico. So I had to make some changes.

So here is what I came up with:

Black Bean & Sweet Sriracha Marinated Butternut Squash Quesadillas

with pickled red onions

That's a ridiculously long title.

 What you need:

1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed into 1/4" pieces

2-3 tablespoons Sriracha (depending on how spicy you want it)

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 can GOYA  Low Sodium Black Beans, drained and rinsed and tossed with a teaspoon of Taco Seasoning

1 cup shredded Colby & Monterey Jack mix cheese

1/2 avocado

4 tortillas (I used homemade, but GOYA's 8" Flour Tortillas would be perfect)

1 tsp. GOYA Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 small GOYA Jalepeno Pepper, sliced

1/4 cup distilled white vinegar

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

I don't know about you, but I do some of my best photography with my iPhone. Thousands of candid photos of my kids, caught in everyday moments. I'm a little embarrassed to say that currently I have 3,943 pictures on my phones camera roll. Ridiculous  And then what happens to all those priceless memories? Nothing. They sit on my phone, rarely to be seen again. Sure I've had good intentions of printing them out, but good intentions don't get anything done.

So when I heard about Groovebook, I was stoked. If you don't know what it is:

Groovebook is a FREE app that lets you choose up to 100 photos from your camera roll into a beautiful 4.5" x 6.5" photobook for FREE and mails it to you monthly.Your photos are printed on glossy photo paper and perforated for easy removal. That means you can share, frame, decorate, scrapbook and more. All this for FREE and just $2.99 each month for shipping and processing!

No joke. For $2.99 a month you get to choose 100 pictures, straight from your phone, to have printed and mailed to you. The free app links directly to your phones photo album, and lets you choose which photos, and how many of each, you want printed. It's super easy to use, and is all done on your phone.

 I downloaded the app, choose my pictures, and a week later I had this beautiful little album of my photos! Its so cute I almost don't want to even take the pictures out. I think these would make awesome little keepsake albums for grandparents, you could choose 100 pictures from the whole past year and have a flip book of how the kids have grown! The app even adds the date and time to each. Or for people who fancy themselves as iPhone photographers, it would be an awesome way to have all your cool pictures in one place.

 It's so simple. So clever. So CHEAP!
