A spur-of-the-moment creation when I wanted something with a great flavor punch and lots of color, plus quick to prepare---this one fills the bill, with baby spinach and colorful cranberries and mandarin oranges, plus the crunch of sweetened almonds and the pungent feta cheese---a new favorite at our house! You may substitute blue cheese for the feta and any kind of sweetened pecans or walnuts, if desired, for the almonds.
Ingredients
- 8 cups baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 medium red onion , sliced and separated into rings
- 1 can mandarin oranges , 11 ounce
- 1.5 cups sweetened dried cranberries
- 1 cup honey-roasted sliced almonds
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing , or to taste

Kelly's Slow Cooker Beef, Mushroom, and Barley Soup
I came up with this slow cooker recipe for beef, barley, and mushroom soup after tinkering with a few other recipes. I've added celery and leeks before, but all it did was make the soup more chunky; it didn't really change the flavor.
Chef John's Pork al Latte
When the weather gets a little colder, this pork al latte really hits the spot. Pork shoulder meat is braised in a crème fraîche sauce until amazingly tender and delicious. Serve on polenta with crisp sage leaves for garnish.
