In our kitchen these days you’ll find… a wooden bowl full of eggs – some ours, some our neighbor’s, all fresh and yummy. some quick lacto-ferments. These days I am not fermenting for food storage so much as to have a quick high-enzyme addition to our meals on hand. These southwestern fermented carrot sticks were…
When you plan to eat a lot of something, it is best to have many ways to eat it, I find. I learned this the hard way a few years back when my family decided that okra and summer squash were getting tiresome in that exact same stir-fry every single day. So you pickle and…
A few people have asked me exactly how I make my lacto-fermented pickles. I haven’t really shared a recipe because I don’t actually use one. I use a method instead. You see, when I first started making ferments I was totally obsessed with exact recipes. I was still in the pasteurized mentality and the thought…
Do you know that some of the longest-living, degenerative disease-free cultures eat beans and tortillas as a staple in their diet? Staple as in they eat them pretty much every day. I came across this little tidbit recently in the instagram feed of the Bluzone Book. Now, I’m pretty sure their black beans are organic…
Every 24-48 hours I head out to the garden, usually in the evening. It is often when I am standing at the clothesline as the sun begins to fade that I look over to see the okra – as tall as me now – waiting to be picked. So Joshie and I play a game…
The more gluten-free baking I do, the more I try to get away from the common flours and binders used in gluten-free baking.

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.
