Stews aren't photogenic

Although it seems like I haven't cooked anything of note since late October, I've been just as busy in the kitchen as ever. Unfortunately, beef stew looks horrible when photographed, as do many of the other household staples I've been whipping up. It doesn't help that the natural light situation at this time of year is dismal.

Of note: I've been tweaking Betty Crocker's Egg Bread recipe to make it egg-free by replacing the egg with hydrated, ground flax seed. I've also reduced the sugar content. Once I'm suitably thrilled with the results, I'll post my version.
