Can you define natural ingredients?

Not chemicals.

For instance Ill use ketshup and mayo that I assume has some unnatural ingredients along with the tomatoes, but I wouldnt use whip thats almost all chemicals, theres nothing natural in it.

Broccoli kugel- not fast but mostly hands off

Saute a big onion. Once golden add 2 bags of frozen broccoli to the pot and mix, let the steam from the melting ice soften the broccoli (keep partially covered), mix occasionally till soft
Pour into 9x13 pan, add matza meal, spices, 3-4 eggs
Mix well and bake @400 for 1 hr, uncovering for the last 15 min

Potato kugel is almost always natural ingredients.

Would you use lukshen noodles? White flour? Sugar? Cocoa? I can post some recipes but you may have to switch things out.

With chemicals, its a matter of degree. For example, Ill pass on anything w ingredients like whip thats probably totally chemicals.

This is delicious on club/dolmonico roast or steak slices

Onion on bottom, skip if short on time
Season meat generously with salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic power, paprika. Add a little soy sauce to help tenderize the meat.
Add some water at the bottom so it doesn't try out until its own sauce forms. Bake on 350 for 3-4 hours.
You can thicken the sauce with corn starch before serving.
Slice roasts cold. Freezes well.

Potato sides and fresh salads are easy and always safe. Mashed potatoes, cubes with sweet and regular, chips etc
