Now that we’re into December citrus season is starting. Here in the mid-west we don’t grow a lot of oranges, lemons, or grapefruits so we must ship them in from California, Florida, and Texas. Because of this they are a special treat in the cold, dark days of winter. Until I started cooking from scratch…
I never know what to say in situations like this. “Hey, I wrote a cookbook!” sounds a bit highfalutin or terse or simply not long-winded enough to be a part of my usual modus operandi. (Boy, I’m socially awkward. If you want to just get on with buying the cookbook you can skip ahead to…
I distinctly remember a battle over a spoonful of cauliflower that went down nearly ten years ago. Elijah had just started solid foods and I had no clue what I should feed him except that I should be making it myself and there should be vegetables. It was not pretty, y’all. Fast forward to our…
We returned from a lovely trip earlier this week and I am just now starting to catch up around the house and online. I asked for travel food ideas in my last menu plan and I was blessed by many of your ideas. So I thought I would share what worked for us. I do…
If you have been gluten-free for any period of time, you know there is just as much gluten-free junk food out there as there is gluten-filled. From unpronounceable gums to highly-processed starches to recipes wholly dependent upon high-arsenic rice flour, it’s hard to know how to nourish one’s family while navigating it all. …
Our meals certainly don’t seem meager despite not going to the grocery store. A few things I wish I had bought more of in preparation for NSM (no spend months): cheese peanut butter fruit onions more cheese more fruit I didn’t realize how much fresh fruit we ate as a family, or cheese for that…

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.
