Want to eat something really tasty, which is  good for you and the environment and make a political statement at the same time? Then eat organic food raised by a local farmer.

If you feel overwhelmed with making the switch from eating artificially flavored, processed, packaged food, I can help you to switch to eating natural and organic food. I had a catering business and worked in the restaurant business for years and am still an avid cook. I can show you how to prepare healthful meals that are quick and easy to make

Basics to Stock in your Pantry:
 

• Olive, grape seed and canola oil.
• Sesame seed oil and roasted peanut oil, refrigerate.

• Variety of vinegars; including balsamic, cider, red, white and cooking wine.
• Chicken, beef and vegetable stock in cartons.
• Prepared sauces. My favorites are San-J© all purpose Szechwan Hot and Spicy Sauce; Thai® Kitchen Red Curry Paste, fish sauce, soy or tamari sauce. Natural sauces like the Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste, are a huge time-saver. They use only natural ingredients, such as like galangal root and lemon grass—ingredients that take forever to prepare yourself.
• Mustards, capers, olives, anchovy paste.
• Variety of hot sauces.
• Variety of dried organic spices and herbs (keep frozen or in airtight containers).
• Fresh garlic, onions, ginger.
• Canned coconut milk, olives, tuna fish, clams, variety of beans, artichokes, baby corn.

Dried pastas, risotto, variety of rice (including basmati, white, brown, wheat berries and wild rice), dried cloud ears (black fungus), which has been used in Chinese cooking since the 6^th century. It has a crunchy texture, is loaded with nutrients and its black color looks great in a dish. Soak in hot water for fifteen minutes—it will expand several times—rinse, remove stem and chop. Add to dish near the end to preserve crunchiness. Experiment by adding them to a variety of your favorite dishes.
