On an iPhone, you can use the edit button and then the crop button to crop out any unnecessary background. That will make the file size smaller (but probably not small enough). When I use the iPhone I email the pic to myself (use the little box with the arrow pointing up), I select myself as the person I'm sending it to, then a box will come up giving me the option to select a different size, for example the original image is 1.9 mg, options will be small 26 KB, medium 78 KB etc. I usually select medium.

Joan and BA, both your dinners sound like heaven!

I'm making a burger with mashed taters and brussels sprouts and carrot.

I had pasta and chicken meatballs (the last from the freezer, time to start thinking about making more) and kale.

This morning I made breakfast sliders, egg with cheddar, turkey breakfast sausage, strawberry jam on toasted dinner rolls.

They're a little darker in the pic than they actually were.

I made my usual burger/sandwich buns but I divided the dough in half and made 4 buns and a dozen dinner rolls. I used 33 grams of dough for each dinner roll. I baked them in a cupcake pan. While I baked the buns at 375 degrees for 14 minutes, I baked the dinner rolls at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. I temped them at 10 minutes and they were perfect (205 degrees which is what my buns come out as).

That's a fine looking cheesecake.

I found a recipe on youtube for one pot, 3 ingredient, mac and cheese. You cook the mac in milk and then add the cheese and that's it. (it's 2 - 3 cups of milk, 8 ounces of mac and one cup of shredded cheese). I made a half recipe. It came out pretty good but was a little thick, next time I'll use more milk. I had it with a pork loin sandwich and brussels sprouts and carrots.

I made tostadas with leftover pork tenderloin. Had it with mashed potato and broccoli and carrot.

I made a batch of buns.

I fired up the BBQ for the first time this year and made pork tenderloin. Had it with brown rice (Minute Rice, cooks in 10 minutes), baked beans, fresh green beans and carrots (cooked with a slice of chopped up bacon).

I made some pasta sauce (celery, onion, carrot, tomato and ground beef) and had it with spaghetti.

Yesterday I made a pizza with leftover pork roast and onion. I had enough left over for today's breakfast and have some left for tomorrow's.

Tonight I had left over pork roast, pasta and kale.

I made a Smithfield pre seasoned pork loin roast. I roasted it with potatoes and carrots. It came out pretty good.

I had pork chops, brussle sprouts, and leftover mashed potato.

I usually have a couple of cans of tomato paste on hand. If I don't use the whole can I'll use a small cookie scoop to portion the remaining into a plastic container and then freeze it.

Last night I had leftovers with mashed potatoes. For the potatoes, I simmered them in milk rather than water, I had a container of milk that I wanted to use up (I don't drink milk, I just use it for cooking/baking). Cooking potatoes in milk presents a couple of challenges, you have to watch it like a hawk to prevent spill overs and it can scorch the bottom of the pot. On the plus side, they taste better. I seasoned it with a pat of butter, parmesan cheese and black pepper.
