$24 for 12 Months of Classic, Vegetarian, or Gluten-Free Meal Planning ($49 Value)

Every Friday, The Fresh 20 posts a meal plan for five healthy dinners. The plan includes a shopping list of 20 ingredients, estimated costs, simple recipes, and ideas for leftovers. The meals are kid-friendly and designed to feed a family of four. Vegetarian and gluten-free meal plans are also available.

The Fresh 20

One tax season, working mom Melissa Lanz tallied up the year’s receipts for takeout and convenience food and was stunned by the total. She recalls, “Our busy, unorganized lifestyle had driven us to spend the cost of a new car on takeout.” On top of that, she felt sluggish and unhealthy. A little online searching made her see that common wisdom held that one must choose between fast or healthy. Unconvinced, the one-time Internet marketing executive left her job and began tinkering with recipes. As she worked, three main priorities became clear: healthy and seasonal ingredients, simple recipes, and kid-friendly meals. After enlisting help from gluten-free expert Karen Fine, author of the website Fine Cooks…Everything Gluten Free, The Fresh 20 meal-planning service was ready to go live.

The set-up is simple: every Friday, the expert staff posts 20-ingredient grocery lists and recipes for five meals in classic, vegetarian, or gluten-free categories. The grocery lists eschew preservatives, processed foods, and frozen ingredients in favor of seasonal items that are good for you and the environment. Every recipe piggybacks off the others, so every item on the list creates balanced meals without waste. The list also includes estimated prices, which helps families balance their budgets or train for future appearances on The Price is Right. After following a quick recipe simple enough that kids can help, families gather around the table to enjoy diverse meals such as flank steak tacos, shrimp linguine, and butternut-apple bisque. At the end of 2011, only two years after Melissa started The Fresh 20, In Style magazine toasted the entrepreneur for creating one of the web’s “genius sites that make your day easier and better.”

The Groupon Guide to: Preparing for the Job of Your Childhood Dreams

Every child dreams of becoming a millionaire astronaut or fearless cartographer, but most children neglect to start planning for those careers until they're too old. Here's how today's kids can start working toward their dream jobs:

Firefighter: Build up your immunity to fire by exposing yourself to it in small doses. Start by eating only a single match each day until you can subsist entirely on plastic lighters.

Marine Biologist: Get certified for SCUBA—self-contained underwater breathing ability. To test if you have this innate skill, attempt to breathe through your mouth while drinking water through your nose.

Self-Reliant Hunter/Farmer/Hermit/Pastor: Kids can prepare for the only job that will be available in the future by hoarding seeds and gold now and maintaining a healthy distrust of all belief systems that worship anything other than strength.

How can your kids prepare for their dream jobs?
