Preserving Herbs
The gardens and markets are bursting with fresh food right now, aren’t they? You may be dehydrating zucchini, canning tomatoes, or freezing bell peppers. All of the above is on my agenda, but so is preserving herbs for the winter. My latest contribution to Simple Bites is all about how I preserve herbs… I learned…
When the Garden Vegetables Dry Up
This is the last cabbage we harvested… also known as the only cabbage we harvested. It seems odd to say this now on an 80-degree February day, but about a month ago we had a freeze that wiped out the mustard and the broccoli and the cabbages. Well, all of the cabbages except this guy….
Real Food Broccoli Salad (Extra Green)
In Minnesota salad can mean a lot of things and it doesn’t always have to mean vegetables. There are potato salads like the German variety filled with potatoes and bacon and a nice bite of vinegar. There are dessert salads, one of which boasts Snickers candy bars as an ingredient. These might be served as…
Sweet Potato Greens for Hot Weather Salads (and a favorite salad recipe)
It has been just lovely these past few weeks. The temperatures have looked more like 90 than 100 and in August in Texas this northern girl is grateful for it. When it cools down like this and get rain, we plant and plant. Mostly it’s brassicas and roots going into the ground for the fall…
My Experience with Soaking Grains, Nuts, and Seeds
photo by: House of Sims Last time I discussed my reasoning for soaking grains, nuts, and seeds which boils down to common sense and appreciating traditional methods. The other reason I now believe that soaking grains and nuts is beneficial is due to my own body’s reaction to soaked vs. unsoaked. Even after beginning the…
Menu Planning During Preserving Season
I find it hard to balance all of the preservation of yummy late summer produce with preparing nourishing meals. Most of the summer I prefer to wing it – just using whatever produce and protein that we have hanging around. Right now, though, I need a plan if I’m actually going to get things done…

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.
