  • I'm so glad you made it to 32, too, Jess Dang! You are a constant source of inspiration for me. Here's to a lifetime of good health and great meals! I love you!

  • Jess,

    Wow ... what a story! I am really glad all is better and that you are able to run your cooksmarts business and do what you are passionate about. It's very inspirational.

    Happy birthday!

  • Happy birthday! What your doing is amazing. It's interesting to know what motivated you to create Cook Smarts.

    I frequently take my health for granted, though that is now catching up with me. I'm turning 30 next year and I feel 50 at times. Cook Smarts is helping me recover from a life of terrible cooking with no variety, as well as helping my kids experience new and exciting foods.

    In short, thank you!

  • Thanks for sharing your motivation to start Cook Smarts! I enjoy your newsletter and recipes very much :)

    Happy Birthday!

  • What an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing.

    I have an autoimmune disease, and was sick & undiagnosed throughout high school and early college. I sometimes get really sad that so much of my "youth" was taken away, but then I remember to be happy that I'm healthy and thriving now, in my mid-20s. Not at all the same as your situation, but it's such a great thing to hear your positive attitude and how you've turned your situation into something that benefits other people. I really enjoyed reading.
