  • crispy olive oil fried egg with yogurt and olives

    this is one of my favorite things to cook for myself these days so i thought i’d share it here with you! it’s based on a dish i love from friends and family— my at home version is definitely not as good but it’s the closest thing i got because the restaurant is too far from our house. (their dish has harissa, crisp chickpeas and oil cured olives– it’s much more of a legit dish!!)

    anyway, my version is quick and easy and still really delicious.

    crispy olive oil fried egg with yogurt and olives

    my quick and easy take on a dish i love from friends and family

    Ingredients  

    • 1 or 2 large fresh eggs
    • olive oil
    • greek yogurt
    • kalamata olives
    • crusty bread
    • fresh thyme

    Instructions 

    1. get a pan nice and hot, then add olive oil and carefully crack your egg(s) down close to the pan. cook in the oil while the white sets and the edges start to get brown, add a little more oil and you can baste the edges to get them even crispier.
    2. add to your plate, toast your bread and a generous dollop of yogurt. drop a couple of olives on top (you could actually cook these in the leftover oil from your eggs quickly, but i only thought to do this while i was typing this!)
    3. season everything and garnish with some fresh thyme leaves!

    IT’S SO GOOD. make bites of everything all together, it’s a very quick breakfast or lunch that tastes really special. hope you like it too!

  • pretty everything : so many cute unique coffee mugs

    i got a request to share some pretty mugs the other day, and then, as always, i got a bit carried away — so here are 19 mugs that are unique and special and would make such fun everyday mugs for your coffees and teas and cappuccinos and hot water with lemon and i’ll stop now!

    i use the grid mug with the yellow handle every single day and i love it a lot, i find it kind of comforting to use the same mug i don’t know why (tbh i have two of them that i rotate between). and fyi the yellow handle came off after some time and now i like the mug even better!

    k anyway hope you like them! just click on the mug to be taken to the link.

  • roasted sweet potato and cauliflower

    this is like my all time favorite veggie dish so i thought i should probably share it here on the blog! a lot of you on instagram have told me that you now make this as well, it’s not much of a recipe, but the hash type combo of the two is just so perfect and delicious. i could just eat this for lunch and be so happy.

    you could definitely spice this up more with fresh herbs, more spices, but i like it simple! Read More

    home tour : sophie carpenters insta-famous spanish bungalow

    this is a long time coming! sophie is a good friend of mine that i met on instagram, all because of her house! we bonded over our similar interests and taste (you’ll notice from her house! haha).

    funny story –the tile in her laundry room was originally mine for our main bathroom reno, but the color arrived more pink than i expected so i gave them to her!!

    sophie’s house is meticulously styled because she totally lives for it. but — she’s also a TV accountant! each room in her home is unique and special in their own way, and i hope you enjoy the tour!
