Everything is more expensive these days, it seems, and shopping the sales only helps so much. If you're like me and try to buy natural or organic products when possible, it's even more expensive as they rarely go on sale at the grocery stores. Not only that, but selection of natural and organic items is rather limited in the larger grocery stores and very expensive at the smaller health food grocers. A great way to save money and increase selection is to start up a cooperative buying group. We've started two and here's how you can start one, too!

The paste in the recipe has great flavour and colour, yet is pretty easy to make -- that said, often I don't feel like skinning a whole chicken! I used her paste recipe as a jumping-off point and came up with one that works for us with anything from chicken, to pork, to cubed tofu on skewers!
