My New Year’s resolutions are going to be a whole post, but one main one includes getting more organized. I am so organized on some things and so far from organized with other things. I prefer to call my style, organized chaos.
I like things to have an area or a place but not necessarily an exact position. For example, I like to keep all of my sunglasses in a basket in the cupboard but not in a specific spot. I like to have all of Anna’s craft supplies in a large tub, not individiual places and I like to throw all of my sports bars in one drawer, not folded neatly. This system works for me because it can be cleaned up and in a place but not impossible for me to manage.
This salad reminds me a lot of organized chaos. Lots of things that go together but no major organization. The more you throw together, the better!
I was missing a key ingredient – kalamata olives. I need to remember them next time and have written the recipe to include them!
