Allison’s (@ Go Dansker Mom) Day

Today my friend Allison wrote about her Day Two on the Clean Eating Challenge.  The poor thing had a rough day with a sick toddler.  I’m in awe that she stuck with it.  You can read all the charming details below, along with some great recipes.  Today I’m going to make the Mexican salad for my lunch, which looks yummy!  Be sure to check out Allison’s blog, where she writes about motherhood, “Martha Moments,” travel, books, health & fitness, cooking and more.  I love her blog.  She also just launched her own business helping bloggers reach their full potential.  You can read more about that on her business site, Allison Barrett Carter.  Continue reading Clean Eating Challenge: Day Two →

A few years ago I was briefly on the South Beach diet and I loved the Spinach Quiche Cups.  They are very easy to make and the leftovers keep well in the fridge, so you’ll have breakfast for the next couple of days.

Clean Eating Week Intro

As I mentioned in Friday’s post, starting today I’m joining three other bloggers for a “Clean Eating Week.”  For those of you visiting The Latchkey Mom for the first time, let me introduce myself.  I’m Allie Smith – wife, mother, writer and blogger.  My go-to topics for my blog are usually motherhood, autism, reading, road trips and pop culture obsessions.  I rarely write about health, diet or exercise – yet I frequently think about all three.  Continue reading Clean Eating Week →
