Some of my most wonderful memories are of cooking and eating together with my immediate family.

Other memories consist of  fabulous, noisy, chaotic family get togethers which included incredibly deliciously food while we all caught up on the latest and greatest news with siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, met new babies who we fawned over, and got re-acquainted with nieces and nephews who seemed to have turned into teenagers overnight. What amazingly great times we all had!

I really treasure those moments, they seem so brief now – some of those precious people have passed away (such as my grandparents and two uncles) while some live so far away it has become harder to have these reunions.

I would like to pose some questions to you, my dear readers. Do you have stories to tell or special memories you cherish? Would you be interested in sharing them? Do you have any favorite recipes associated with your wonderful memories? Would you like to share a special dish that your grandmother or favorite uncle used to make? I would love to hear from you.

All I ask is that the recipe has:

• A short story and/or background
• Is healthy
• Can be made in 30 minutes or less

I will select five submissions out of all the entries sent in between May 1st and May 30th and if yours is one of the five selected, I will publish your recipe and story in one of my upcoming blog posts.  Or I may choose to make the dish, videotape it and post the video in my blog.

I will additionally send you a complimentary autographed copy of my upcoming book The Deity Diet.  You can email your stories and recipes directly to me at connie@himalayanbootcamp.com.

I hope you will join me in recreating memories of those special moments. We all benefit when you share. I’d love to hear from you.

And if you do not want to submit any recipes or stories, but would like to post your suggestions, comments or feedback, please feel free to do so.

To Your Longevity and Abundant Living!

Connie
