Hi friends! This is a url-list of a bunch of recipes I want to make. It's some mouth-watering clicking for you and nifty storage for me!
I hope to keep this post live, adding more as I find them and making separate review posts for ones I've made. Have any suggestions? Let me know in the comments!

Granola Bowls by Rachel Mansfield

This recipe is from Rachel Mansfield—Strawberry Oatmeal Banana Bread. We had some extra ripe bananas, and I love new banana bread recipes, so I gave it a go!

It was cute, but the taste wasn't my favorite, and I think that was 1) because I made my own oat flour but didn't put it in the food processor long enough and 2) because it's vegan, so naturally it tastes different from what I'm used to. 

See? It was adorable, but the consistency was off, and the flavor was a little weird. I also had to use strawberries from the freezer instead of fresh ones, so that probably didn't help. 

If you're a vegan, I'd be interested to see what you think if you make it. Also, make sure you food process the oats until they're finnnnne. 

Here's the final verdict:

Visual: 10/10 (Such little effort for such cute results!)

Taste: 5/10 (meh. It's yummy when I crumble it in my yogurt parfait! Maybe just because I can't taste it then...)

Easy-to-Make: 8/10 I had to melt the coconut oil and peanut butter in the microwave, but nothing else took long at all!

I don't know about you, but, despite the phrase "there's an app for that," I find that I have remarkably few apps on my phone. Recently, that's begun to change, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorite apps with you all.

Slide
Slide has reduced the size of the average wallet by 39%. How? By eliminating the need to carry gift cards around.

So I made up that statistic (what's new), but this app is at the top of my list because it is so practical. All you do is take a picture of the back of your gift card, and the app keeps it handy for you. When you're at the register, all you have to do is scan your phone, and poof!—your gift card money comes up. Yeah, it's that easy.

Checkbook
Okay, this is another practical app. It's absolutely increased my efficiency in the budgeting area of my life. I balance my checkbook every month, which entails entering each purchase I've made on my debit card and clearing it. This task used to take me hours, and I'd put if off because I knew it would take so long. Thanks to this app, though, I am able to enter the purchases when I'm at the register. Then, when it's time to balance my checkbook, it's all on my phone, and all I have to do is clear all the entries. Easy!

Google Drive
This one is a new discovery. I use Google Drive on my computer for personal stuff and for work stuff, so having the app on my phone enables me to have access to my pictures and Google Docs on-the-go.

Google Maps
Why do I use Google Maps instead of the Apple Maps? I'm not sure. I think when the two separated, Apple's wasn't quite as good, so I downloaded Google and now I've stuck with it. Why, though, do I keep using it? One perk is that it tells you which lane of the street you need to be in. And with highway driving, that's super helpful.

VSCO
You know those people whose Instagram page looks extra shiny and bright, and their pictures look way better than everyone else's? You know how you've never been able to figure out why? The answer, my friends, is quite possibly this app.
It's basically a more complex version of Instagram's filters and Apple Photos editing (you know, like where you crop your pictures in the "Photos" app). The two features I use the most are the ability to add contrast and edit exposure. You have to mess around with it for a while to figure out the interface, but once you do, you're all set! It's especially fun to use when you travel. Just so you know, you have to make an account. Some people post their pictures on VSCO—yes, it's a network/media site of its own—but I mostly use it for other social media sites. Just "Save to Camera Roll," and I'm good to go!

iMovie
Last but definitely not least is this magic app. It's free from the App Store, and it's a way to make little movies or music videos on your phone. I love it because you can record right from the app, so the videos don't have to save to your camera roll and clog up your Photos app. It takes music and videos as you record them or that you already have and allows you to edit them together. I do this for every trip I go on now, and it's such a fun way to remember it!

Anyway, those are my favorite apps! What are some of yours?
All the love,
Charlie
