Camping in your Living Room – You can pitch your tent in your living room, or just roll out those sleeping bags. Bring any other soft creature comforts like pillows or blankets. If you have a fireplace you can roast marshmallows and make s’mores. If you don’t have a fireplace you can roast your marshmallows over candles. Just make sure you are supervising your children well for that one. Keep the lights low or off and break out those lanterns. You can go the extra mile and buy a glow-in-the-dark map of the constellations and tape it to your ceiling so you all can fall asleep under the stars.

"Lean" beef, especially ground beef can be confusing. Remember even if it says it's 80% lean, this still means that it is 20% fat by weight and that this fat makes up more than two thirds of its calories. The truth is that meat is often contaminated with bacteria but it is up to you to look at the small print to figure out how to handle it. The small print will come with icons such as a "refrigerator" (keep refrigerated) or a "faucet" keep raw meat and poultry separate from other foods, "thermometer" refrigerate leftovers or discard. Cook thoroughly. All of these labels can be boiled down to: chill, clean, separate, cook.
