Canned wild salmon is a staple in our pantry. It is the ultimate “real food“. It is much less expensive than frozen or fresh, it has a good amount of dairy-free calcium due to the bones and it makes throwing together a quick dinner fairly simple. For all of these reasons I make salmon cakes…
There are only a few weeks left before the official growing season is through here so we are taking full advantage of the seasonal bounty before everything freezes. I spent my morning chore hours making 3/4 gallon each of cortido and lacto-fermented beets. We now have somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 winter squash of…
I think Brussels sprouts are one of those vegetables that a lot of people don’t like. Or at least they think they don’t like them. I’ve found that it’s all in the preparation. Boiling them does their flavor a great disservice. Roasting and browning them, on the other hand, makes them down right delicious. So…
I don’t know if you have noticed or not, but there is a theme going on in our kitchen: soups and greens. And why not? When it is single digits outside, soup just sounds good, right? This week alone we have soup or chili on the menu for four out of seven nights. I have…
Warm applesauce with a drizzle of cream. Now that fall is here it is apple season. Yum. So last week I went out and bought 30 lbs. of local jonagold apples. I read up on them and found out that they don’t store too well, but make great applesauce. So I decided to whip up…
One of the most popular, most commented on, and most polarizing posts I’ve ever published is not one that argues for agrarianism or home birth or all the saturated fat you can eat.

Hi, I read your post on H2B@H. Do you know there are quite a lot of chocies of herbs you could take to build your milk supply up so you wouldn’t have to give the baby homemade formula?
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.
