I have to be honest, I had a completely different post planned for today but... it just didn't turn out quite the way I wanted. Thankfully, I always have a plan b, c, d, e...

I'm a planner. What can I say?

My desk and home are full of lists, sticky notes, and note pads to keep me organized and as on top of things as I can be. I've even been told that my organization skills can even be a little... intimidating.

I have a huge love for avocados. Huge. HUGE.

This avocado makes for a great little lunch! I think next time I'll serve it over some baby spinach or mixed greens to add just a little more substance. But, I wasn't complaining at all.

In fact, this little number is surprisingly filling and couldn't be any more easy to toss together.

I used a mix of red and yellow cherry tomatoes that I had on hand, but color won't really matter here. Other than aesthetic purposes!

For those that don't know... a caprese salad is typically comprised of tomato, fresh mozzarella, and sometimes basil. It's usually topped with some sort of balsamic vinegar or vinaigrette.

Today I wanted to step outside of the box and add something a little extra in there to make it filling and more of a 'lunch' option rather than a snack. Delicious!
