I always just assumed granola bars were "healthy." As I looked at the label the other day, not only were there too many ingredients I couldn't pronounce, but there were way too many forms of sugar, including several forms of high fructose corn syrup. I decided to make my own granola bars which were very well received by my children (particularly my picky one). - [Tips for a Summer Schedule](http://www.thepinkapronblog.com/kids-2/tips-for-a-summer-schedule) - This week I planned our "summer schedule."

I think everyone was satisfied with the result. - [Pantry Essentials](http://www.thepinkapronblog.com/cooking/pantry-essentials) - We're big fans of food storage in our house for many reasons. One, it's good to be prepared in case of an emergency. Two, it's good to have options for dinner if I can't make it to the store. Three, I'm a big fan of buying things on sale, and when a sale is good enough, I stock up. Here are the food staples we keep in our house. - [Chocolate Salted-Caramel Cookies](http://www.thepinkapronblog.com/cooking/chocolate-salted-caramel-cookies) - As much as I love a chocolate chip cookie, last week I was in the mood to make a new cookie.

As usual, I starting imagining all the wonderful things I could do with a plain sheet cake. I imagined a chocolate sheet cake topped with pecans and caramel.
