Guest Posting :: Kitchen of the Week

This week I will be featured as the Kitchen of the Week at Happy to be @ Home.

Please join me every day this week as I chronicle my kitchen adventures.

Homegrown Potato Salad (and a reality check)

I cringed when I read how the Wannabe Homesteader described us in a recent guest post: I know of some homesteaders, I mean real homesteaders, who live a life completely off-grid and utterly detached from industrialized society. They live a simple, Christian existence surrounded by like-minded people and are dependent on no one except the…

Soaked, Flour-Free Oatmeal Pancakes

The US Wellness Meats giveaway is closed. I will choose a winner later on this week. When you buy 50 pounds of rolled oats and your family doesn’t want to eat soaked oatmeal every morning, then you’ve got to get creative. Enter the flour-free oatmeal pancake. These are simply rolled oats soaked overnight with a…

This Week In The Kitchen

The week started with another double canner load full of summer squash on Sunday. With the rains we received and the warming temperatures, the squash have been producing more than enough for eating and preserving. We’ve been eating a simple stir-fry most days of squash, onions, garlic, green beans, and collards all from the garden….

Nourishing & Frugal: Roasted Root Vegetable Soup

Going grain-free can result in one of two things: you eat a lot of animal products and some produce, leaving your budget trembling. you eat a produce-dominated diet alongside animal products, leaving your budget intact. Number two looks a lot better for your budget, doesn’t it? One of the best ways to make that meat…

Chicken and Pumpkin Curry with Kale

Seasons cross over and food stores are put to the test during these spring days. Seeds and seedlings have been going into the ground regularly since February and some of the cooler weather crops have been making their way to the table for some time now. Salads with radish and lettuce are a regular item…

Making non-GMO Corn Tortillas and a Sweet Potato and Black Bean Hash

Now that I’ve shown you the summer kitchen, let me confess: I haven’t exactly been cooking up a storm. I do cook 2-3 meals per day but somehow when I don’t have my appetite I end up in a rut that goes something like tacos, hash (of whatever we have on hand), stir-fry, salad, repeat….

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.
