Right now, Christians from around the world are in a period known as Lent, whereby observers commit to fasting or giving up something that they love until Easter. But it doesn’t matter if you are Catholic, Baptist, Jewish, Muslim, Agnostic or anything in between, everyone has given up something at some point in their life. So here at Nueva Cocina Foods, we started thinking, “What is the hardest thing you ever gave up and why?”

So whether you sacrificed something for religious reasons, health reasons, romantic reasons, or just because, we want to know. From now until Easter, tell us your tale in the comments section of the Nueva Cocina blog, email us at info@nuevacocina.com, post on the Nueva Cocina Facebook page, or tweet with the hashtag #IgaveItUp. Everyone who participates will receive one free Taco Fresco Seasoning packet. A grand prize winner will win a $150 American Express Gift Card and a year’s supply of Nueva Cocina. Three additional participants will be awarded Nueva Cocina Tool Kits, which contain a set of bamboo kitchen utensils and an array of product samples. Winners will be chosen at random, so the more times you enter, the better chance you have of winning
