I love pasta but I would usually feel bloated and uncomfortable after eating it anyway due to the gluten in the wheat, so it’s not a huge sacrifice to switch to gluten free pasta made from a whole grain. I’ve tried so many different GF pastas, fancy ones, cheap ones, and I keep returning back to the only one I like — Trader Joe’s organic brown rice penne. Here is a foolproof way to cook gluten free pasta.

I don’t normally eat mac ‘n cheese but many people told me it was the only thing they could eat after chemotherapy treatments. So when I started chemo for my breast cancer I decided to come up with at least a healthier version of mac ‘n cheese. This would be considered an occasional treat as part of an anti-cancer diet. My version uses gluten free pasta and grass-fed organic cheese and milk.
