I’m still participating in the March Photo a Day Challenge,but because my Instagram photos feed into the blog widget about 1/3 of the way down the page for your viewing convenience, I’ve decided to post a weekly recap of photos instead of trying to post them here every day. So here are days 9-20 for this year’s challenge

March 2019 Photo a Day

March 2018 Day 1: Up

For some reason, March feels like a great month for me to participate in a photo-a-day challenge. I’m sure it’s because it’s the official month of Spring, and the weather is starting to warm up and everything just feels so nice.

I participated in a challenge last year and documented it in my personal Instagram account but I’m very new to this sort of thing so I didn’t share it to my blog or my blog’s Instagram account, and I probably didn’t even do it right to begin with, but anyway.

I like having the prompts to help nudge my creativity. Sometimes, the prompt is very literal so it’s easy to snap a picture and post it, but other times the prompts are more abstract so it takes a lot of thought, cleverness, and imagination to get the right shot. You can end up with some really great photos that way! So, I’m going to participate in a photo challenge this month and post photos both here and on the blog’s Insta, and I’ll try my best to also post last year’s photos here for reference!

Here’s the challenge prompt I’ll be following this year:

“Fried” Ravioli with marinara dipping sauce and a salad. It’s not really fried; the ravioli  was coated in bread crumbs and then baked. we did make the marinara sauce from scratch though, and it was truly delicious. Much better than the bottled stuff. We’re already thinking of other ways we can use the sauce, like in spaghetti or on chicken Parmesan sandwiches. Yum!
