HODGEPODGE

Think of a mix of unrelated things thrown together, like a stew with no recipe—this word describes that kind of jumbled collection.

The clue "A little of this, a little of that" hints at a mix of random or mismatched things. "Hodgepodge" fits perfectly because it means a jumbled collection of different items, just like grabbing bits of everything.
