Is it breakfast or aperitivo? A soft-boiled egg, topped with half a teaspoon of Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce (Calabrian Chili Peppers), half an anchovy, a sprinkle of Nori Komi Furikake, maldon salt, and a drizzle of good olive oil.

Cheers!

Some I kept simple — just the hummus and chili oil — and others I added the sardine for a salty, rich bite. The combination of the crisp endive, creamy hummus, a little heat from the chili, and the briny sardine made for the perfect quick, no-fuss lunch. It’s one of those lunches that takes like 5 minutes, feels satisfying,...
I love summer dresses and I love pairing them with lightweight scarves- pieces that feel both functional and beautiful. I’ve always loved scarves for their versatility, and this season, I’ve especially been reaching for my long wool/silk blend ones.
