It is that time of year again… pickle-making time! I’ve made a couple of gallons so far and I thought now is the perfect time to share my favorite six tips for making great lacto-fermented dill pickles.
My sourdough starter kicked the bucket about a month ago… or, more accurately, I brought about its demise through sheer neglect. Still, not one member of the bread-eating family was prepared to say good-bye to fermented bread and just about that same time, with plenty of milk between Mabel and the goats, milk kefir was back…
Edited to Add: You must check out the latest update on this recipe including tips and tricks. When it comes to an easy breakfast I love pancakes. As you can probably tell from my soaked buckwheat pancakes and soaked, flour-free oatmeal pancakes. They are just so simple to cook – mix, ladle, flip, eat. No…
Another week, another menu plan. I think the main reason I like to create one and put one up for the week is because a lot of things need advanced preparation. Soaking grains and beans or taking something out of the freezer only takes a minute, but if I forget I take a lot more…
Ok, so most of my menu plans are not very extravagant, especially not as of late. With the sunshine and garden calling us out, I just don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen these days. This week, though, needs to be extra simple because we are going out of town next…

Erin – Yep. I have taken every herb I could get my hands on, pumped around the clock, eaten every galactogogue in the book. I have a low thyroid that I am working on healing, which I suspect is the root cause of the milk supply issues. Thank you for your comment.
I read your guest post and wanted to comment about your milk supply issue. I nursed my 3 children from 12-18 months each and had supply problems with one of them. My doctor placed me on Reglan for a few weeks to help increase my supply. This medication is used for stomach problems or something not normally associated with lactation but it was successful in my friend and I.
He made several phone calls and read material about it before prescribing it but it works!
I also pumped on one side while the baby nursed on the opposite side every time or at least every other time to boost the demand.
Just a few tips that I thought you would like to hear to go back to all natural if possible.
