      BA, if your husband likes soft raisin oatmeal cookies, Diane's mother's recipe might work too:

      I haven't had to make peanut butter cookies for over a month because Diane has been making these instead.

        Here's a tip not everyone may know, use the 'insert into text' link to get a bigger picture showing in your posts. (I added it to Joan's post.)

          We had tacos/taco salads.

            Since I was able to raise the file size to 5MB, you should be able to upload them directly from a cell phone these days, though I will admit to not having tried that, since I'm more of a laptop person for computing.

              We had a beef stir fry over cauliflower rice.

                I think I found the elusive setting and I was able to upload a 3.5 MB uncropped full-resolution photo from my iPhone to the site.

                  This is just a large file 3.5 MB to see if will upload. It does!

                    Diane was sneezing and just not feeling well, so she had some chicken noodle soup and went to bed early.

                    I had a big salad with tuna fish plus a small slice of cheesecake.

                      We had the last of the onion soup, and I probably won't make it again until fall.

                        The maximum image upload size is set to 512K and so far I haven't been able to find where that is set to change it. (Very frustrating!)

                        So you probably need a tool to reduce the size of your photos before you try to upload them. There are numerous such options, including ones on your phone and on a computer. (If you're using Windows, I strongly recommend IrfanView, a free picture editing tool.)

                        When I take a photo on my iphone to post here, I email it to my gmail account, which gives me an option to set small, medium, large, or full-size, I find the medium choice produces pictures that work well on the site.

                          We had baked fish for supper, my salmon was good but Diane's cod had a bitter taste to it, and we tossed it, along with the rest of that package in the freezer. I think I'll stick with Orange Roughy for her.

                            A serving is 1/8 of the pie, and the Keebler Graham Cracker crust is 14 carbs per serving while the Diamond pecan crust was 9 carbs per serving. But if I had used a cup of sugar instead of allulose, that would have meant the filling was 30 carbs per serving vs 3 carbs per serving for the one I made using allulose.

                            A crust made with almond flour might be a little lower in carbs than the pre-made pecan one. (My son does them sous vide in individual jars so they're pre-portioned, but he leaves out the crust completely.)

                            And if I had made a NY cheesecake in a 10 inch springform pie, it would have had twice as much filling, but with smaller slices that might have pretty much evened out.

                              Here's a slice of the cheesecake. A bit soft, the recipe said it comes in somewhere in between a Jello no-bake cheesecake and a baked NY style cheesecake, and that's accurate. If I had added cornstarch or some other gelling agent such as xanthan gum, it would be thicker, but I don't really think it needs that. We sliced up a strawberry to put on top, that added another carb.

                              The Diamond pecan crust, which made up 2/3 of the carbs, is pretty good, too. So this satisfies the 'cheesecake urge'.

                                I made a no-bake keto-friendly cheesecake using a Diamond pecan pie shell and a filling made with allulose that was cooked in a sauce pan. Looks like 1/8 of a pie will be about 12 carbs. I'll post pictures tomorrow after it sets.

                                  We had onion soup for supper, but instead of parmesan crisps I took some parmesan cheese and made my own crisps.
