Welcome to d-licious Life!

Hi there,
  I'm Jena.  I'm 32 years old. In September I married a wonderful man named Tim. I have an incredibly supportive family and friends. I have diabetes. Last year I had a kidney transplant. ( Tim gave me one of his kidneys.)I love to cook. Most of all I love to eat.
  As you can imagine, these things do not always go well together.  In my early adulthood I did a terrible job of managing my disease and eating healthfully. I caused myself a lot of permanent damage during those years.   I studied a lot of nutrition both in school and on my own.  I learned to eat more healthfully. Splurge carefully and fit my health issues into my life.  I am writing this blog to help everyone eat better. Feel better. And hopefully help a few people before they wind up on the dangerous road I found myself on.
  I plan to share recipes, cooking tips and personal stories of both struggles and successes. Ask me anything you want. I will answer to the best of my ability. At the very least I will point you in the right direction to get the information you're looking for.
  Here's my first quick tip:  Don't think about the foods you need to remove from your diet, think about the ones you should add. Try adding one serving of fruit or vegetables to each meal.  You will feel fuller and will naturally begin to eat less of the food that isn't as good for you.
