My lactation granola bar recipe is one of the most popular on my blog, and for good reason. They’re delicious, nutritious, and provide nursing mamas with a boost. There are lots of ingredients here that nursing mamas need for energy and to help their body produce milk, especially oats, flax seed, brewer’s yeast, and coconut. […]

Oat Mama Lactation Granola Bars
It’s no secret that I’m a nursing mom, and I’m always on the lookout for recipes that help boost lactation. I make lactation granola bars and energy bites regularly because not only are they good for maintaining my milk supply, they are a delicious, sweet treat that I don’t have to feel guilty about. I […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Lactation Energy Bites
I saw a recipe for Chocolate Energy Bites, and I thought they were perfect for me. Recently we welcomed our second child, Eleanor Jayne, into our family.

[…]
Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal
It’s that time of year where the weather is getting cooler and everyone becomes obsessed with all things pumpkin. I’m not judging. I’m not immune to the siren song of the pumpkin. However, I’m not one to pigeon-hole the pumpkin to strictly the fall season. I’m an equal opportunity pumpkinist and use it at crazy times like February or July! […]
