It’s amazing to think back to November when I signed on for the dark days challenge; I had no idea then how much I would get out of this simple challenge to cook one completely SOLE meal a week. I thought it would be hard, and it wasn’t really. I’m fortunate to live in an area that produces a variety of whole foods year round. I didn’t realize how much it would open my eyes though! I have learned so much about what grows seasonally in Virginia, and have really started thinking more consciously about where all of my food originates…and what it means for me to eat it.

Spoiler Alert: these were the best egg-based savory dishes I’ve ever eaten.
Phew. Got that off my chest. I wish the photo did it justice. Learning something…anything…about photography is one of my 2012 goals. But I’m not there yet. For now, I’m really still more interested in making delicious food that makes my husband’s toes curl.
